It was a Saturday evening when Bobby finally received Abel's consent for him to go to the _sena_ seal hunting. He was preparing to go over, as was his custom on Saturdays, to spend the evening with Skipper Ed and Jimmy in reading and study, and when he had eaten his supper he donned his snowshoes and _netsek_[D] and hurried eagerly away to Skipper Ed's cabin to invite Jimmy to join him in the adventure.
