Young Lion of the Woods

CHAPTER III
35/36

It was situated on the bank of a small stream running down to the river, and about two hundred yards from the camp.

The grave looked like the newly made nest of some huge bird.

It was cleanly dug and neatly lined with evergreens.

In this grave the body of old Mag was placed as the sun was sinking below the horizon.

It was conveyed to its last resting place by Paul, Margaret and her son Charlie; the four younger children forming the procession.
None of the Indians of the tribes of the St.John were present at the burial, as Paul had not circulated the news of his mother's death.
Mrs.Godfrey read, from the old service book, the Church of England burial service, the most beautiful of all burial services, that of the Masonic brethren perhaps excepted.
Mrs.Godfrey and Charlie filled in the grave.
