It consisted of Macnab, who, with his wonted energy of nature, was leader and beater of the track; the sprightly Jessie in a cariole drawn by four dogs; Waboose's mother in a similar cariole, and the fair Waboose herself, on snow-shoes, for she preferred the mode of travelling to which she had been most accustomed. Two Indians dragging provision-sleds brought up the rear.
Squire Gerzson was elected the leader of this vast hunt, whose area extended over hundreds of square miles, by all the six counties concerned it was generally felt that this was but due to him for the neglect of his warnings and Mr. Gerzson proved on this occasion that if he was not a great strategist, at any rate he was a great beater up of game.

Jerry came yelling after him, brandishing a crude beater; and both of them reached the fire at once. It was a small circle, burning slowly. Madly Kurt rushed in to tear and stamp as if the little hissing flames were serpents. He burned his hands through his gloves and his feet through his boots.

"Is it a bear?" cried Bab, rushing after her, beater in hand, for a dancing bear was the delight of her heart. "Sancho's found! Sancho's found!" shouted Thorny, throwing up his hat like a lunatic. "Found, found, found!" echoed Betty, dancing wildly about as if she too had lost her little wits. "Where? how? when? who did it?" asked Mrs. Moss, clapping her dusty hands delightedly.
