Eagle Lake is really a part of Chamberlain Lake and is nearly fifteen miles long.
“I wonder why they gave the two parts of this lake different names,” Rex said.
“Oh, I suppose they had more names than lakes, although, goodness knows, there are more lakes around here than there are fleas on a dog,” Jack laughed.
“How many more carries have we got to make?” Rex asked.
“According to the map we haven’t any,” Bob replied. “How about it, Kernertok? Any more carries before we strike Allagash?”
“No more. We paddle um all way now,” the Indian told them.
“That’s certainly good news,” Rex declared. “About one more carry like that last one and I’m afraid you’d have to carry me out on a stretcher.”
“Look ahead there, Rex!” Jack cried a little later. “Isn’t he a beaut?”
“What is it?”
“A bull moose, and a big one.”
