They eat their Fleſh Meat ſometimes raw, ſometimes boiled, or dried in the Sun or Wind; but their Fiſh Meat is always thoroughly done, or eat them dried in the Sun or Air, as Salmon, Row-Fiſh, Holybut, or the ſmall Stints, which, in the Months of May and June, they catch in great Abundance, and keep them cured and dried for Winter Proviſions. They keep the Seals, which they kill in Autumn, buried under the Snow, for their Winter Stock.And whereas, in the Winter Seaſon, it is very rare to get Seals, except in the moſt northern Parts, where they take them upon the Ice; ſo they make all the Proviſion of them, they can get, in the Fall, and bury them under the Snow, until the Winter comes on, when they dig them up, and eat them raw and frozen as they are. Their Drink is nothing but Water, and not, as ſome Writers have wrongly pretended, Train Oil; for they do not ſo much as eat the Fat, but only in Sauces to their dried Fiſh.
