Nor was there any trail, in general or particular. It was true that the moose had passed that way, leaving their great footprints in the dying grass. They had chosen the easiest pathway over the hills, and Bill was enough of a woodsman to follow where they led. Traversing the Clearwater was simply a matter of knowing the country and going in a general direction.
Jasper knew everybody within fifty miles up and down the C. P. R. Line, and at least as far across the prairie, while they all had a good word for him. So when he heard the story he drove us over to Clearwater, where an elevator had been built beside the track, only to find that the agent in charge of it had already a sufficient staff.
The two subsequent climbing parties have followed precisely in their footsteps up as far as the Grand Basin at sixteen thousand feet, and it is the merest justice that such acknowledgment be made. At our camp the Clearwater ran parallel with the range, which rose like a great wall before us.
And together the sewing ladies hurried down to the kitchen. Alice dashed into the house with a flurry of good spirits. "Oh, mother," she exclaimed, "the girls say that the violets are out and we do want to have a wild flower hunting picnic up Clearwater! May we? And may I go?" Mrs. Merrill dropped her work and looked up at her big girl in surprise. "A picnic up Clearwater!" she said.
Then, by twos and threes, small trout strayed in, and found the new region a good place to inhabit. When, in the following spring, the fishermen came back to the Clearwater, they reported the pool swarming with pan-fish, hardly big enough to make it worth while throwing a fly.
None of the men could give certain information of his whereabouts, though Clearwater Lake was mentioned again. He had not been in to the post for four months; and there was a handful of letters waiting for him. Garth was referred to the breeds across the river for better news. It was clearly intimated that all self-respecting white men had cast Mabyn off.
Lounsbury opened his mouth several times. The same number of times he shut it again. "I see," he said at last, clearly. "Good. And here's some clothes of mine. They're not handsome, and they'll not fit, but they'll keep you dry." He dumped the larger portion of his own waterproofs on the ground at Lounsbury's feet. In the two days that followed, the pack train crossed the divide into Clearwater.
Clearwater Bay lay far below us, glistening in the sunlight, and beyond, over the point that forms the bay, the lake and its numberless islands extended for miles. As we descended, we met the packers returning for another load, coming at a light, easy run, one after the other, in Indian file, their straps hanging loosely over one arm. Mr.
Now he had two hundred and fifty warriors also four hundred and fifty women and children, two thousand horses, as many cattle, and much lodge baggage. In all the history of wars, no general carried a greater burden. On July 11 he turned at the banks of the south Clearwater, in northern Idaho, to give battle again.
I want you to tell these understrappers of yours to take that squaw and clear out of Clearwater. Tell 'em to take her back where she belongs to Buckshot Dan. He'll take her in, all right. I've been working in Miss Tremont's interests until now now I'm working in my own. This happens to be my trapping country.
