where the water is in constant motion, beautiful frostwork 
of solid ice?  At some places we readily  understood
the reason -- here, a stream of spring water, which had
not come from a distance great enough to become cold
would be the cause.  We noticed this, best of all, at
the Bluff.  Here a stream of comparatively warm water
has not frozen where it empties into the brook. The 
stream to reach this level has descended so very abruptly
that at first one is quite puzzled to see such a large
area of water surrounded by ice.  But at other places we
failed to understand <s>this</s> its presence occurring as <s>they</s> it did
apparently, under various conditions.  When we reached
Camp Cozy we had to decide where we would build our
house.  We had already partly determined to build on
the hillside near the pine forest but now we felt as if
we could never leave Camp Cozy.  So we thought of the hillside
