SKIPPER ED AND HIS PARTNER On that part of the Labrador coast where Abel Zachariah lived the cabins, with small variation, are fashioned upon one general model.

The model is well adapted to the needs of the people and the exigencies of the climate.

At one end of the cabin is an enclosed porch which serves as a woodshed and general storage room.

Here the dog harness, traps, and other tools and equipment necessary to the hunter's life are kept.
A door opens from the enclosed porch into the cabin proper, which usually consists of a single room which serves as living room, dining room, kitchen and bedroom.

This room commonly has two windows, one on either side.
The floor of the cabin is of uncovered planks.
