The fish-line was coiled on the ground and then attached to an arrow, the bow bent zip the arrow picked up the line, coil after coil, and trans-fixed the muskrat. Splash! and the animal was gone under the ice. But the cord was in the hands of the hunter; a little gentle pulling and the rat came to view, to be despatched with a stick and secured. Had he shot it with a gun, it had surely been lost.
