could stand away from the flames. The 
heat and smoke was almost unbearable 
and the only fresh air we could get was 
a thin space close to the water, where 
the force of the running river kept the 
smoke pall up a bit. The sun was 
darkened and it became as black as 
night. Both sides of the river were 
like infernos, and we were suddenly 
shaken by the explosion of the powder 
magazine wherein over a hundred cases 
Next 
we were aware of large rocks splash- 
ing in the water all around us, but we 
could not see them coming. No one 
was hit, however, though several rocks 
landed uncomfortably close. As a fit- 
ting climax, the log boom, which was 
attached to the sawmil, gave way when 
the mill burned down and we found 
ourselves ducking all kinds of logs 
which spilled furiously over the shale 
ledge we were standing on. By six 
o’clock that night the main body of the 
fire had moved far northward and we 
were able to make a crossing in a 
canoe we had found tied along shore, 
picking our way over the burning 
ground, after thoroughly wetting our 
boots and moccasins. The camp was 
absolutely destroyed, with the excep- 
tion, truly miraculous, of Thompson’s 
camp, which we stayed in all that night, 
keeping watches for afterglows, though 
the ground had been completely burned 
to cinders. 
The next day we awoke to find a 
desolate spectacle where only a day 
before stood one of the most pictur- 
esque camps in northern Quebec. We 
had thought, with a wide river protec- 
ting us on three sides, and a three- 
hundred-foot fire belt cutting the camp 
from the forest behind us, that we 
were very well prepared to meet any 
climax, and yet the unforeseen came 
to pass: we had not figured on two fires 
in one day. An example which well 
proves that we cannot take too many 
precautions against forest fires. 

Help the Rangers to save our forests 
from destruction by living up to the! 
instructions printed on the signs in our 
woodlands. Remember that the clever 
woodsman is the CAREFUL woods- 
man, the man who is intelligent and 
crafty. The loss of animal life alone, 
by forest fires, should be sufficient to 
impress upon us the necessity of going 
out of our way to do all in our power 
to lessen the fire toll for the future by 
careful attention to the prevention of. 
what the Montagnais call “Bad Smoke.”
