CHAPTER XII. 



FISHING. 



A FTER little Boreas's father has gone 

 * * into camp, and while he is building 

 his snow house, the boys of the party go 

 to work, dig a hole through the ice on the 

 fresh-water lake, near where the camp is 

 built, in order to get fresh water, with 

 which to cook supper. The first thing 

 necessary is to select a good spot for the 

 well, which is generally about a foot and 

 a half or two feet in diameter, and from 

 four to eight and ten feet deep, depend- 

 ing, of course, upon the thickness of the 



t> 

 ice.
