These were the first we had seen, and we began to be more cautious and keep everything well hid away from camp and make them think we were as poor as they were, so they might not be tempted to molest us.
We soon had the canoe done and loaded, and embarked on the brook down stream.

We found it rather difficult work, but the stream grew larger and we got along very well.

We came to one place where otter signs seemed fresh, and stopped to set a trap for them.

Our dog sat on the bank and watched the operation, and when we started on we could not get him to ride or follow.

Soon we heard him cry and went back to find he had the trap on his fore foot.
