all experienced as we paddled along 
silently in the darkness. A gentle but 
cold breeze was blowing from the 
north, chilling us to the bone in spite 
of our oilskins and sweaters. Over- 
head was the midnight sky studded 
with cold glittering stars, in the north 
a gorgeous aurora was gleaming like 
a green silken banner waving in the 
sky, in the west a dim vanishing shore- 
line barely visible like a narrow black 
ribbon against the horizon, in the east 
the open ocean, and ahead the un- 
known, fraught with all the dangers 
of which the Factor had so vividly 
warned us. 
The water remained so shallow that 
we were obliged to work further and 
further out into the ocean, until at last 
the shore-line disappeared entirely and 
we had nothing with which to steer 
our course but our compasses and the 
stars. 
About two A. M., mindful of the 
warning of the Factor, we turned to 
the west to get in shore before the 
tide should turn. We had gone per- 
haps two hundred yards when Tom 
suddenly blurted out, “By God, I t’nk 
she’s runnin’ out!’ We stopped pad- 
dling. The ominous swish of flowing 
water sounded against the canoe and 
paddles. There was no room for 
doubt; Tom was right. We put on 
speed, but before we had gone one 
hundred feet the canoe grounded in 
the mud. We held a hurried consulta- 
tion. What should we do? In our 
inexperience with James Bay tides, we 
decided upon the most foolish course 
possible—to lighten the canoe by jump- 
ing out and push her in-shore. But 
all we accomplished by this maneuver 
was to soak ourselves up to the knees 
in the icy water, for within fifty feet 
the canoe grounded again, this time 
permanently, and almost in less time 
than it takes to tell about it, the water 
had slipped out to sea, and we were 
left stranded upon the wet mud flat. 
This was a pretty fix! The first 
night out and caught in the very trap 
against which we had been warned! 
However, the only thing to do was to 
make the best of it, so we rearranged 
the baggage to make room for our- 
selves in the canoe and curled up in 
our blankets to get some rest. But 
sleep did not come so easily. We were 
cold and wet, and if one of us did 
doze off for a minute the shivering of 
the others woke him up. In time, 
however, we became somewhat more 
comfortable, and at last one by one 
we did fall sound asleep. 
My next recollection was a delight- 
ful sensation of warmth. This did not 
last long, for I was soon aware of 
feeling hot and suffocated, and rousing
