Perhaps he has already warned the mast-cutters, so they may be waiting for you." "Well, let them wait. We'll have that bunch with us from the Washademoak, an' you know what devils they are to fight." "When do you expect to meet them?" "To-morrow sometime. Then at night we'll drop in to see our friends, the mast-cutters, an' settle up an old score once an' fer all."
"I was afraid the slashers might overtake us," Dane replied. "Have you told the men about them?" "Oh, no, I forgot all about them."

Owing to the severity of the storm all the mast-cutters of Big Lake camp suspended work, and sought refuge within their log cabins. The latter were poor affairs, inhabited as a rule by two or three men. One, however, contained twelve cutters, and here, while the tempest raged outside, they were cosy and contented. Some sat before the bright open fire, smoking and talking.
