There was now little cause for fear, for it was still snowing and their enemies were twenty-five miles to the north of them.

"We must be somewhere near the Kenogami trail," Wabi remarked to Mukoki.
"We may have passed it." "No pass it," replied Mukoki.

"You see the Kenogami trail is a sled trail leading from the little town of Nipigon, on the railroad, to Kenogami House, which is a Hudson Bay Post at the upper end of Long Lake," explained Wabi to his white companion.

"The factor of Kenogami is a great friend of ours and we have visited back and forth often, but I've been over the Kenogami trail only once.

Mukoki has traveled it many times." Several rabbits were killed before dinner.
