Even went on his hunts with him, an 'they slept beside the same campfire. Jameson loved bears, an' he'd never kill one." Langdon was silent. After a moment he said: "And I'm beginning to love them, Bruce. I don't know just why, but there's something about bears that makes you love them. I'm not going to shoot many more perhaps none after we get this dog-killer we're after.
The third and fourth days Bruce and the Indian explored the valley west of the range and convinced themselves finally that the "colours" they found were only a part of the flood-drifts, and would not lead to fortune.

All our majors and captains have been killed, and with our reduced numbers these two will fill their places, as best they can; and that they can do so most worthily we all know.

Now I am here in this hospital, dying! "Serves me right for killing that poor girl! Yes, I'm to blame that Oswald Langdon and Alice Webster were drowned!
