About the same time an Indian who had also been missing returned to the fort.

Although his dress was very thin, and he had slept on the snow without a fire, he had not suffered the slightest inconvenience.

We have indeed observed that these Indians support the rigors of the season in a way which we had hitherto thought impossible.
A more pleasing reflection occurred at seeing the warm interest which the situation of these two persons had excited in the village.

The boy had been a prisoner, and adopted from charity; yet the distress of the father proved that he felt for him the tenderest affection.

The man was a person of no distinction, yet the whole village was full of anxiety for his safety; and, when they came to us, borrowed a sleigh to bring them home with ease if they had survived, or to carry their bodies if they had perished.
