I found many very distinct, but so mingled, I could come to no positive conclusion.

Some were near the sea, with the foot pointing to the shore; and amongst these Jack thought he could distinguish the boot-mark of Francis.

My wife wore very light boots also, which I had made for her; they rendered stockings unnecessary, and strengthened her ankles.

I could not find the trace of these; but I soon discovered that my poor Elizabeth had been here, from a piece torn from an apron she wore, made of her own cotton, and dyed red.

I had now not the least doubt that she was in the canoe with her son.
