The youth uttered something in a low voice, that was heard only by Elizabeth, and turned to execute what she had suggested. As they were separating, Natty approached the females, and said: “You’ll remember the canister of powder, children. Them beavers must be had, and I and the pups be getting old; we want the best of ammunition“Come, Nattysaid Edwards, impatiently. “Coming, lad, coming.

We could discover no trace or sign, nothing whatever to give us any clue to their fate. "What can have become of them?" exclaimed Natty for the twentieth time as we stood examining the canoe.

They, of course, knew its strength, and the necessity for care.

Leo and Natty were far more idle, though they occasionally took their seats near the young ladies, and either read to them, or listened to their reading.
