He complained of cold and Mr.Hood offered to share his buffalo robe with him at night.

I gave him one of two shirts which I wore whilst Hepburn in the warmth of his heart exclaimed "How I shall love this man if I find that he does not tell lies like the others." Our meals being finished we arranged that the greatest part of the things should be carried to the pines the next day and, after reading the evening service, retired to bed full of hope.
Early in the morning Hepburn, Michel, and myself, carried the ammunition and most of the other heavy articles to the pines.

Michel was our guide and it did not occur to us at the time that his conducting us perfectly straight was incompatible with his story of having mistaken his road in coming to us.

He now informed us that he had on his way to the tent left on the hill above the pines a gun and forty-eight balls which Perrault had given to him when with the rest of Mr.Franklin's party he took leave of him.

It will be seen on a reference to Mr.Franklin's journal that Perrault carried his gun and ammunition with him when they parted from Michel and Belanger.
