Their departure, therefore, was not lamented, and the natives were glad to get rid of them. We ourselves boarded the steamer for Fort McMurray on the 11th, but, owing to bad weather, did not get off till midday, and even then the lake was so rough that we had to anchor for a while in the lee of an island.
When Narphim grew to be eleven years old he became a hunter, and first traded his catch at Island Lake; then as the years went by, at Oxford House; then at Norway House, then at Fort Chepewyan, and then at Fort McMurray. After that he went to Lesser Slave Lake, then on to the Peace River at Dunvegan, then he showed up at Fort St. John, next at Battle River, and finally at Vermilion.
Somewhat to the surprise of the younger members of the party, Mr. Zept had joined them. The corners of the stateroom and the near-by vestibule of the car were crammed with the personal belongings of those headed for Fort McMurray.
"Oh," broke in Colonel Howell, "then you'd rather have some one else try out your glass cage and electric stoves." "But it's a long way from home," went on Norman, growing red in the face. "No farther for you than for me," explained the colonel, still laughing. "And we'll all go to Fort McMurray on the flatboats. If you can't fly back you can at least do what I have done twice walk."
"It'll be a great, smooth roadway and a lot of people waitin' now to get back to civilization will make it a path for snowshoes and dog sleds." "Some trip up here from Fort McMurray," suggested Norman. "You said it," exclaimed Roy. "But the colonel won't have to make it on foot this winter not with the old Gitchie Manitou, and this ice road to guide us."
McMurray says funny things and makes me laugh. But I love my darling Seer Marcous best. And here is one for Seer Marcous from his How can I refuse? But I wish she were here. 31st October. I did not sleep last night. I have done no work to-day. The Renaissance has receded into a Glacial Epoch wherein, as far as its humanity is concerned, I have not a tittle of interest. I sought refuge in the club.
McMurray possessed the colour-sense, and I trembled. I tried to explain gently to Carlotta the undesirability of such a costume for outdoor wear in London; but with tastes there is no disputing, and I saw that she was but half-convinced. She will require training in aesthetics. She is very submissive. I said, "Run away now to Antoinette," and she went with the cheerfulness of a child.
Their only hope was that McMurray or some one of the neighbors would come to their relief. The rain lasted only one hour, and the sun soon made its appearance. This was after six o'clock, as the prisoners judged from the shadows cast over the ruins of the cabin. The shades of evening fell and at last utter darkness; still no one came.
Antoinette stood in a corner gazing at the spoil with a smile of beatific idiocy. I strode through the cardboard boxes which crackled like bracken, and remained dumb as a fish before these mysteries. Carlotta tried on hats. She shewed me patent leather shoes. She exhibited blouses and petticoats until my eyes ached. She brandished something in her hand. "Mrs. McMurray says all ladies do.
From there he took the new line of rail to Athabasca Landing; it was September when he arrived at Fort McMurray and found Pierre Gravois, a half-breed, who was to accompany him by canoe up to Fort MacPherson. Before leaving this final outpost, whence the real journey into the North began, Philip sent a long letter to Josephine.
