We have got to pull out as soon as possible.

Did you get any information from the Hudson Bay man ?" "I learned something about our route through the timber belt, and the kind of camp outfit we'll want; the temperature's often fifty below in winter.

"I'm afraid so, but we can't run the risk of freezing to death; and we may have to spend all winter in the wilds." "That's true; I don't go back until I find the gum."

Harding had entered the paint factory when a very young man, and had studied chemistry in his scanty spare time, with the object of understanding his business better.
