He was as strong as a giant.

It was awfully solemn to see an old man like that wandering bareheaded in the snow at night, so far from any human being.

I was forced to leave him, for the engine came clearing the track.

I got some men to come after him with me, but he was gone, and we never saw him again.

I stayed on there ten days, trying to hear something of him, and after that I came here to try my hand at lumbering.
