The eventful journey was safely accomplished, and he found all things as he had left them.

A rich harvest of golden ears was waving in his corn-field; and his comfortable cabin, in all respects as comfortable as the one he had left, was ready to receive its inmates.
He soon gathered in his harvest, and was thus amply supplied with bread for the winter.

Fuel, directly at his hand, was abundant, and thus, as we may say, his coal-bin was full.

Game of every kind, excepting buffaloes, was ranging the woods, which required no shelter or food at his expense, and from which he could, at pleasure, select any variety of the most delicious animal food he might desire.

Thus his larder was full to repletion.
