 THE CREW LEADER
 One man, the crew. leader, used a cornpass to keep the men in the de- sired direction, mapped the country traversed, kept account of the dis tances covered as determined by ac- tua1 measurement, and recorded all the information regarding timber The other members of the crew measured the timber and gave their figures to the leader, who tallied them. The ac- tua1 work, however, did not end with all-day climbs through snow on the ulountainsides, with frequent exposure to the sweep of winds the higher ridges and divides. During the long winter evenings, or on days when the snow storms were so severe that out side work was impossible, the figures gathered were tabu1ated and the in formation grouped. so as to show the quantities of timber suita ble for var1- ous products, such as saw timber. spruce for paper pulp, or birch for spool making. During the whole win ter. however it was noted that stormy days caused no more loss of time than in summer. and the health of the men in the party was as a rule, better than in hot weather.
