Fisher merely poked his head in the tent and 

 said, " It is snowing hard on the mountains, so you 

 fellows can't see to hunt to-day, and I just thought 

 to tell you that you don't have to wake up so early.' ' 

 I wonder if Fisher is a bit Irish. 



It has snowed very hard on the mountain all day, 

 but in the river bottoms we have only had rain and 

 hail. Every one has been busy at various tasks, 

 shoeing horses, skinning out heads and salting hides, 

 repairing clothes, and putting new hobnails in boots. 

 We plan an early retirement after supper and a 

 very early start in the morning.
