heavy thunder storm was coming 
nearer every minute. The canoe was 
some protection, but the snow and rain 
would drive in first one side and then 
the other. The thunderstorm seemed 
to break right over our island, and for 
a while bright flashes of lightning were 
closely followed by heavy peals of 
thunder. Our fire was soon put out by 
the rain and we went to sleep with the 
ground heaving under our heads as the 
wind rocked the small spruces to their 
roots. 
We were up early and found the 
storm raging unabated. More tea and 
bannock, which Joe always spoke of as 
“Coo-kees,” composed our breakfast. 
At daylight we were in the canoe again, 
going before the wind back to the 
island where the day before we had 
seen the lone caribou. 
ITH the wind behind us we made 
the crossing in 15 minutes where 
the day before it had taken us two 
hours. We landed and hunted all day 
through splendid country, but without 
. seeing any game. Moose signs were 
very plentiful, but all day long we saw 
only two caribou tracks. We camped 
that night on a runway at the edge of 
a sandy beach. The weather had 
cleared during the late afternoon, and 
as we sat before our fire drying out 
the stars were twinkling in a clear sky 
overhead. We rolled up in our blankets 
early and were soon fast asleep. It 
seemed I had just closed my eyes when 
I was aware that Joe was calling me. 
I suddenly woke up and lay listening. 
“Moose, moose! Get your gun, he 
come into camp.” I sat up and rubbed 
my eyes. Joe was out of his blankets 
and was pulling on his shoes. While I 
was trying to grasp what all the ex- 
citement was about I heard the moose. 
He apparently was on the sand beach, 
very close, and coming closer every 
minute, grunting deeply all the while. 
aie’ moose was heading for the 
runway on which we were camped 
at the end of the beach. Every few 
steps he would stop and hook his 
antlers into the brush, uttering deep 
throaty grunts. I got my shoes on, 
and picking up my flashlight sneaked 
out on the beach behind Joe. He had 
grabbed up my gun as he left camp as 
he thought the bull was after a cow 
and was apt to be ugly. When we 
stepped out on the beach the bull was 
very close to us; so close that we could 
hear him draw in his breath before he 
grunted. I turned on my flash and 
threw the light full on the bull. He 
was not 75 feet away, and was walking 
slowly towards us, swinging his heavy 
antlers with his head close to the 
ground. Under the fishlight he looked 
very big and I began to wonder if there 
was a handy tree nearby that I could
