"We are in luck again!" Hector exclaimed joyfully.

"Tired as I am, I don't think that I could have slept in these wet clothes, if one can call them wet--at present they are frozen stiff.

These sacks are the very thing.

We can strip now and wring out our clothes thoroughly.

There are enough sacks here to lay under us and cover us too.
