AN HEROIC ADVENTURE. 251 



passed the night at 8 A. M. and only got ashore 

 at the extreme point of Cap Chat at daylight 

 next morning. At times they would come 

 across narrow lanes of water, but these lanes 

 always ran at right angles to the direction in 

 which they were going. Several times, when 

 stepping upon what was considered a strong 

 piece of ice, one of the party would be immersed 

 in the cold, cruel water, and be rescued with 

 great trouble- and danger to the others. 



What a picture of heartfelt prayer offering 

 it must have been, to have seen those men kneel- 

 ing on the ice-bound shore, pouring out their 

 thanks to the ever-watchful Almighty who had 

 brought them safely through such dangers. 



Bob, who had taken down the Captain's nar- 

 rative in shorthand, gave me his notes, and I 

 give the story of adventure and heroism to the 

 public. 



Comeau is well known by most of the mem- 

 bers of the Forest and Stream clubs of New 

 York and Montreal.
