Strange man was he! 'Twas said he oft pursued
The sable bear, and slew him in his den,
That oft he howled through many a pathless wood
And many a tangled wild, and poisonous fen,
That ne'er was trod by other mortal men.

A wondrous wight! For o'er Siogee's ice
With brindled wolves all harnessed three and three,
High seated on a sledge made in a trice
On mount Agiocoohook [89] of hickory.
