Now followed three dreary days of
waiting, during which the gale that
swept across the lake was burdened
with snow and sleet that cut the face
like fine needles. Rarely did any one
venture more than few yards from
the tent, as he was always in haste to
return. 1t was necessary now and then
to cut wood, for a fire was maintained
in the stove, the smoke of which was
sometimes driven back and almost
smothered the shivering travellers.

Despite the wind they managed to

night was nearly gone. and it was de-
cided not to attempt to put up their
tent until daylight. Accordingly, they
huddled together and spent the re-

At the earliest streakings of light all

Tim McCabe hurriedly walked a short
way to the northward. The others had
risen to their feet and were watching

still tossing with whitecaps, stretching
to the south and west with the shore
