Randy unlashed the poles from the fore deck of his canoe, and joined them together. This was a clever invention of Ned's. Each pole was in two parts, and could be put together like the joints of a fishing rod.
He could follow the panting efforts of the climber quite easily. He knew when the weapon was unlashed from the limb to which it was bound, and when the descent was begun.

The gale, in fact, was so fierce that they could scarce hold their feet against it, and had they released their hold of the komatik even for an instant, it is doubtful if they could have found it again. The deerskin sleeping bags were unlashed and the sledge turned upon its side. In the lee of this the bags were stretched upon the ice and with their skin clothes on they crawled into them.
