The dwelling was filled with appetizing odors, which were emitted from the learned manipulation of Neb and the reporter. But all the results of the chase were not made into preserved provisions; and as the game kept perfectly in the intense cold, wild duck and other fowl were eaten fresh, and declared superior to all other aquatic birds in the known world.
La vivienda estaba perfumada con los olores que exhalaban las sabias manipulaciones de Nab y del corresponsal, pero no todo el producto de la caza del pantano se transformó en conserva. Aquel frío intenso conservaba perfectamente la carne: se comieron patos silvestres y otras carnes frescas y se declararon superiores a todos los animales acuáticos del mundo conocido.
