One of Roswell's first objects was to transport most of the eatables from the wreck; for he foresaw the need there would be for everything of the sort.
"Isn't it strange," said Boston, as he tasted the contents of the can, "that this stuff should keep so long?" "Not at all. It was cooked thoroughly by the heat, and then frozen. If your barrels haven't burst from the expansion of the brine under the heat or cold, you'll find the meat just as good." "But rather salty, if I'm a judge of salt-horse.

In trying to pole this across the swift current, Washington was thrown into the water and was nearly drowned, but he managed to get on the raft again and they reached an island, where they spent the night. It was so intensely cold that Gist's hands and feet were frozen. The next morning, they got ashore on the chunks of ice and by suppertime were in the warm house of a trader named Frazier.
