I knew we had traveled, roughly speaking, almost parallel with the shore line, and that that shore line was very irregular, being deeply indented with bays and small inlets. It might be that the shore was within a mile or two. If I could reach that I could escape tbe fire and perhaps starve there. “I don’t know how far it was.

But when I came toward shore I seemed to get some better, and when I had reached the water’s edge (for I dared not stop in the forest, the fire was getting so near) I saw something that steadied me. “An Indian wns paddling near shore toward the north. I knew that the Sur veyor lay to the south. So did he. Some thing told me that it was my guide, though, before I saw his face.
