To drag the clumsy scow with its cargo of eight hundred pounds of provisions out on the ice-heaped bank was small feat, yet they did it Here in safety they watched the floe make itself into miniature mountains of blocks on the chain of bars across the arm, until at iast the tide spent ita force and began to carrying back all the not jammed fast on the shallows. [eft on the largest bar about half a mile out was a huge, ir- regular heap of big cakes, most ef them fully three feet thick, which cov- ered about two acrea and was nearly forty feet high On the smaller bars beyond, with open channels between were several other mounds not so | large, and in the broad channel be tween the shore and the big mound was an uneven field of tightly packed fee. As they could not get any far ther at present, camp was made to wait for the tide of the next morning, in the hope that by then the jam would be broken But in the morning it was found that the tide which had come in dur ing the night, Instead of breaking the | barrier, had only added more ice to | it and somewhat changed its shape. | It was not safe to attempt to run the | narrow channels now; the only thing | to do was to wait until the insetting | current should clear a passage for | them. Perhaps the next tide would | do this. i At about nine o'clock Hardman, tak- ing his camera, left camp alone to get a closer view of the mounds. Go ing along the shores about a mile, he same to the portion of the floes stuck fn the wide channel. It made a per fectly safe bridge clear across to the main bar, and over this he made his way to the base of the great white pile of jagged blocks. After taking two or three photo graphs at favorable points, he was seized with a desire to get a view from the summit. Climbing up by way of the front slope, which was a long and quite easy ascent, he was third of the distance to the top when he reached a giant cake, broken in two at the econter. ‘The lower half lay at an angle of forty-five degrees, the upper of the vovagers F their they shore were close no recede, ce at not more the two was thirty. three than a crack feet several feet deep Resting for a moment at the upper edge of the under cake, Hardman ped upon noticing step the one above, n how insecure was his position in ] and he fell into the crack between.

Then the breadth of his shoulders refused to let him go farther. As he struggled vainly, a sullen roar far down the arm heralded the coming of the tide. It was now or never! With a sudden inspiration Hardman drop. ped back, pulled off his thick outer coat, and then with amost superhu- man strength forced himself slowly upward out of the viselike grip of the narrow opening. He rose to his feet, free of an ley tomb at last; but he found there was no time to cross to the shore before the iceladen wave of ths bore would strike.

The In dian and other hunters are already feretelling the disappearance of the caribou from this part of the country, where they are at present very abund ant. There is a theory that the instinct of the caribou tells them that an invasion nf thelr feeding grounds by the deer is aue to the pursuit of the latter by the wolves and that it is the horror of these pests which leads them to for. sake any territory to which they seem to know that their distasteful neigh tors are fleeing for refuge. not wanting careful observers among Canadian woodamen who attribute to jealousy of the little Virginia deer, at the approach of the mating season, the petion of the caribou in flasing with its mate from the company and the coun try of his gay little rival.
