We have not room for these, however; and I have given you only _facts_, such as will enable you to form some idea of the general habits of this animal.
Most of these facts were communicated by Lucien to his brothers, while they were engaged in preparing their breakfast; and, as all three were very hungry, this was the first thing that occupied them after the bears had been killed.
The breakfast consisted of part of a cub, which was cleared of the hair by being singed, and then roasted.

They knew that bear-meat, like pork, is spoiled by skinning; and they followed the Indian fashion of preparing it.

They made a hearty meal, as the cub-meat proved both tender and juicy--having a flavour something between young pork and veal.
