A Hunters Bitter Experience in a
Strange Country.

strange country.
To be lost in an unknown country,
with a storm coming on, is a dangerous
and uncomfortable situation. Only a
hunter familiar with woodland craft,
and possessed of courage and hardi-
hood, can hope to escape death or seri-
Gus misfortune. A hunter who had
lived for many years among the In
dams went out on a beaver hunt and
got separated from his companions.
The snow fell thick, and the wind blew
violently when he tried to find his way

this made Il bed like a goose nest, and
with the small sticks stopped every

in the center of my bed for about half
