Basil was all buckskin--except the cap, which was made from the skin of a raccoon, with the ringed-tail hanging over his shoulders like a drooping plume.
He wore a hunting-shirt with fringed cape, handsomely ornamented with beads.

A belt fastened it around his waist, from which was suspended his hunting-knife and sheath, with a small holster, out of which peeped the shining butt of a pistol.

He wore deerskin leggings fringed down the seams, and mocassins upon his feet.

His dress was just that of a backwoods' hunter, except that his cotton under-garments looked finer and cleaner, and altogether his hunting-shirt was more tastefully embroidered than is common among professional hunters.
Lucien's dress was of a sky-blue colour.

It consisted of a half-blouse, half-hunting-shirt, of strong cottonade, with trousers of the same material.
