Pack-horses waded knee-deep in mud; wagons were dragged through mire up to their hubs; even empty vehicles sometimes became so embedded that they had to be abandoned, the drivers being glad to get off with their horses alive. Many times a quartermaster, taking advantage of a frost, would send off a convoy of provisions, only to hear of its being swamped by a thaw before reaching its destination.
Close at hand, to landward, great hills, bare and green, shut off the sky; and here and there the land came tumbling down into the sea in great, jagged, craggy rocks, knee-deep in swirling foam, and all black with wet.

Van Horn stirred in his saddle, then shook his shoulders as though freeing them from a weight. "Now you have it, you Broadalbin men," he said, grimly. "Go to the forts while there's time." In the darkness around us children began to whimper; a woman broke down, sobbing.
