72 FISH : THEIR HABITS AND HAUNTS. 



was a fine night, but we had no answer and 

 so gave it up. We arranged our apartments 

 for sleeping behind a big rock, andj strangely 

 enough for the first night out, slept well. 

 In the morning we went back to the carry, 

 and found all our things at the shore ; but 

 the man and boy were gone. We loaded all 

 into a canoe, and it was a very heavy load ; 

 but how much these canoes will carry when 

 filled by one who knows just how to do it, is 

 astonishing. 



We reached Pisquaw Carry at noon, and 

 found John Freeman and five men logging. 

 John came down and helped us with our 

 things, and had us take dinner at his camp. 

 The bill of fare consisted of baked beans, 

 bread, and tea. How good it did taste ! 

 Before we left our camping-ground he came 

 up to our camp with a very bad cut in his 

 foot ; a twig had made the axe glance. If 

 an old chopper like this cuts himself it is a 

 warning to us green men to be very careful.
