"He will freeze to death!" Addison cried. "We must put him on his sled and get him home!" Thereupon we picked him up like a log of wood, and laid him on his horse-sled. "But he will freeze before we can get this old lame horse home with him!" exclaimed Thomas. "Better take him to our camp over there." Addison thought so, too, and seizing the reins and whip, started for the shore.
"We can all go up together. You and Josey can be loading the horse-sled, while I load the ox-sled, and then we can drive them down, and so get two loads down, instead of one." "Well," said Oliver, "I mean to ask my father." "Or perhaps," continued Jonas, "you can be teamster for the oxen, and Josey can drive the horse, and so I remain up in the woods, cutting and splitting."
We made signs to them to camp in the valley, and we ourselves turned our tired horses towards the west, determined at all hazards to reach the fort that night. The Frenchman led the way riding, the Hudson Bay officer followed in a horse-sled, I brought up the rear on horseback.
Addison and I then set to work with two of our new ice-saws, and hauled out the cakes with the ice-tongs, while Halstead and the old Squire loaded them on the long horse-sled, sixteen cakes to the load, drew the ice home, and packed it away in the new ice-house.
