Upon the fact becoming known, and being pursued by her tribe, he fled to the scene of his horrible banquet, and there took his own life.

Having rowed across the river for better tracking, as we crawled painfully along, the melancholy Point with its lonely graves, deserted cabins and cannibal legend receded into eerie distance and wrapped itself once more in congenial solitude.
The men continued tracking until ten a.m.much of the time wading along banks heavily overhung with alders, or along high, sheer walls of rock, up to the armpits in the swift current.

The country passed through was one giant mass of forest, pine and poplar, resting generally upon loamy clay--a good agricultural country in the main, similar to many parts of Ontario when a wilderness.
We camped at the Joli Fou Rapids, having only made about fifteen miles.

It was a beautiful spot, a pebbly shore, with fine open forest behind, evidently a favourite camping-place in winter.
Next morning the trackers, having recrossed for better footing, got into a swale of the worst kind, which hampered them greatly, as the swift river was now at its height and covered with gnarled driftwood.
The foliage here and there showed signs of change, some poplars yellowing already along the immediate banks, and the familiar scent of autumn was in the air.

In a word, the change so familiar in Manitoba in August had taken place here, to be followed by a balmy September and the fine fall weather of the North, said to surpass that of the East in mildness by day, though perhaps sharper by night.
