A SUDDEN MEETING Paul and queer, long Jim Hart spent a week together on the island, and they were pleasant days to the boy.

He was sure that Henry, Ross, and Sol could take care of themselves, and he felt little anxiety about them.

He and Hart stayed well in the woods in the day, and they fished and hunted at night.

Hart killed another deer, this time swimming in the water, but they easily made salvage of the body and took it to land.

They also shot a bear in the edge of the woods, near the south end of the lake, and Hart quickly tanned both deerskins and the bearskin in a rude fashion.
