[ Next morning we found that everything was covered with a heavy blanket of snow ][ The bear circled a little in order to descend. Presently it left the shadow ][ Going to the stage, he took down his five-foot snowshoes ][ As the wolf dashed away, the bounding clog sent the snow flying ][ "There's the York Factory packet from Hudson Bay to Winnipeg" ][ "It was on my father's hunting grounds, and late one afternoon" ][ Oo-koo-hoo could even hear the strange clicking sound ][ After half of May had passed away, and when the spring hunt was over ][ The departure of the Fur Brigade was the one great event of the year ]INTRODUCTION
