And we shall own 'twas good to wait: No blessing ever came too late." This was written on the 4th of June; on the 8th their fishing-net was torn to pieces by blocks of drifting ice. On the 28th Badcock died, begging his comrades to sing a hymn to him in his last moments.

Jock Binning came upon his crutches from the bench by the stream where he made a fishing-net. "A tempest's daundering up!" Elspeth rose. "I must go home I must get home before it comes!" "If ye'll bide, lassie, it may go by." "No, I cannot." She had brought to Mother Binning a basket heaped with bloomy plums. She took it up and set it on the table. "I'll get the basket when next I come.
