"IN MEMORY" Up in the mountains, about two miles northwest of Moose Lake, was a hole which old Mother Nature had carelessly left there, and afterwards thoughtfully filled with water.

The water was blue--probably in imitation of the near-by sky--so the place was called Blue Lake.
At Moose Lake there was a cabin and a canoe, as you may remember, and to Injun and Whitey that had seemed too civilized for a pioneer hunting trip.

So they had fished the canoe out of the lake, and had made a portage with it.

The canoe was light, and a boy could carry it over his head for quite a distance before he got tired or fell over a rock.
Blue Lake was an ideal place for a wild camp.

It was almost circular and nearly a mile in diameter.
