anywhere. 1t was all silent, sombre
sad.
A little mechanically we picked nm
our oars and rowed back to the site of
our camp. One old tree trunk was the
only thing remaining of the framework
of our pleasant home. We did not land,
but remained in the boat, where we ate
our breakfast and luncheon in one
meal. 1t was decided that we hurry
back to Bangor at once, both to allay
fears for our safety and to prevent pos
sible sickness.
When we had reached the first carry
and We're ready to cross through the
black region to Lake Shallow, | could
not delay longer expressing my feelings
for my companions thoughtfulness and
good leadership
"Old man. said l, speaking INSTEAD
lily and laying my hand on Tapley's
shoulder 81 want to thank you. You
were right in everything yesterday; l
was fool. But for you, old man, we
would have"
"Gone to old Mount Russell likely,
just as innocent as lambs" said Tapley.
Now don't go to springing those thanks
on me, he continued, ''for | didn't do
much. o. course I'll forgive you.
There, Frank, no more of that CUFF
about saving you fellows. Just lend d
hand here now and We'll be over the
carry by noon. Seems like walking in
a graveyard.
As we three trudged along the boat
on our shoulders, Tapley remarked,
THAT wind came up inside of a minute
last night
"Were you awake" | asked.
"Well, | didn't go to bed" he SAID
81 just-er-rested awhile after you fel-
lows turned in, then | fixed up the boat
came back and-el-rested awhile longer
and then smo-oked couple of pipes
fun. When was filling her up for the
third time up piped that hurricane,
yelled as if Old Nick was after me-and-
well, guess you fellows know the rest. :"
There was a long pause.
NO doubt, Tapley drawled at last
with funny twinkle in his eye. mo
doubt it's a confounded nasty habit to
get into but sometimes, maybe once in
a lifetime, say, u long smo-oke'l IL come
