They will go with me, and I suppose their families as well," added Colonel Howell with a grimace, "directly to Athabasca Landing, and in a week from now there is no reason why we should not be drifting down the big river again."
An agreement having been thus entered into, we proceeded immediately to land everything necessary for preparing the buildings and clearing the ground.

"Yes, but it seems to me that is so much the more reason why we should be merry when we do meet." "Yes, I am merry," said Gorenflot, with a piteous look, "but still I must leave you." "At least, finish your supper."
A bargain was accordingly struck, perfectly satisfactory to both parties, by which it was arranged that, after making the necessary preparations, such as laying off the proper grounds, erecting a portion of the buildings, and doing some other work in which the whole of our crew would be required, the schooner should proceed on her route, leaving three of her men on the island to superintend the fulfilment of the project, and instruct the natives in drying the biche de mer.
