They are used as a protection from the cold, wet, and mosquitoes, and are entered as we should get into our beds, were the blankets nailed to the top, bottom, and one side of the bedstead. A dozen fires are nightly kindled in the camp; and these, being replenished from time to time by the men who are awakened by the cold, are kept burning until daylight.
And for this we have the testimony of Don John Derada, one of the chief magistrates of the kingdom of Navarre, who, studying at Paris, saw the letter sent from Father Xavier, admired the apostolical charity with which it was replenished, and took a copy of it, as did also many divines, to whom it was directed.
At first Will could not endure its cold water more than five minutes, but at the end of ten days he was able to splash and swim in it as long as he liked. Their days were not all passed in idleness, as they replenished their stores by jerking the meat of both bear and deer.

It was not more than four feet deep, beautifully carpeted with sand, and secluded by rocks on all sides.

In his first sane moment he had made Holt promise that Madeleine should not see him, and she had sent word that she would wait until he sent for her.
