I therefore sent M'Leay forward, with orders to unload the pack animals as soon as he should make the river, and send them back to help the teams.
The sky was clear again when the Hannah drew in to the wharf at Moose Head to unload freight, but the mud in the unpaved street leading to the business section of the little frontier town was instep deep.
