     18237starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0006 THE GREEN CARPET OF THE HILLS BEGAN TO APPEAR HERE AND THERE 
     18238starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0007 WHERE THE SNOW HAD MELTED A FEW MIGRATORY BIRDS FROM THE SOUTH 
     18239starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0008 SUCH AS SWANS BALD HEADED EAGLES ETC PASSED THROUGH THE WARMER AIR 
     18240starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0009 THE POPLARS BIRCHES AND WILLOWS BEGAN TO BUD 
     18241starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0010 AND THE REDHEADED DUCKS OF WHICH THERE ARE SO MANY SPECIES IN NORTH AMERICA 
     18242starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0011 TO SKIM THE SURFACE OF THE NUMEROUS POOLS 
     18243starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0012 FORMED BY THE MELTED SNOW GUILLEMOTS PUFFINS AND EIDER DUCKS 
     18244starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0013 SOUGHT COLDER LATITUDES AND LITTLE SHREWS NO BIGGER THAN A HAZEL NUT 
     18245starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0014 VENTURED FROM THEIR HOLES TRACING STRANGE FIGURES ON THE GROUND WITH THEIR TINY POINTED TAILS 
     18246starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0015 IT WAS INTOXICATING ONCE MORE TO BREATHE THE FRESH AIR OF SPRING 
     18247starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0016 AND TO BASK IN THE SUNBEAMS 
     18248starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0017 NATURE AWOKE ONCE MORE FROM HER HEAVY SLEEP IN THE LONG WINTER NIGHT 
     18249starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0018 AND SMILED AS SHE OPENED HER EYES THE RENOVATION OF CREATION IN SPRING 
     18250starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0019 IS PERHAPS MORE IMPRESSIVE IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS 
     18251starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0020 THAN IN ANY OTHER PORTION OF THE GLOBE 
     18252starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0021 ON ACCOUNT OF THE GREATER CONTRAST WITH WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE 
     18253starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0022 THE THAW WAS NOT HOWEVER COMPLETE 
     18254starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0023 THE THERMOMETER IT IS TRUE MARKED FORTY ONE DEGREES FAHRENHEIT ABOVE ZERO 
     18255starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0024 BUT THE MEAN TEMPERATURE OF THE NIGHTS KEPT THE SURFACE OF THE SNOWY PLAINS SOLID 
     18256starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0025 A GOOD THING FOR THE PASSAGE OF SLEDGES OF WHICH 
     18257starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0026 JASPAR HOBSON MEANT TO AVAIL HIMSELF BEFORE THE THAW BECAME COMPLETE 
     18258starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0027 THE ICE OF THE LAKE WAS STILL UNBROKEN 
     18259starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0028 DURING THE LAST MONTH SEVERAL SUCCESSFUL HUNTING EXPEDITIONS

     18262starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0031 MRS BARNETT WAS ASTONISHED AT THE SKILL WITH WHICH THE MEN 
     18263starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0032 USED THEIR SNOW SHOES SCUDDING ALONG AT THE PACE OF A HORSE IN FULL GALLOP 
     18264starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0033 FOLLOWING CAPTAIN CRAVENTY'S ADVICE THE LADY HERSELF PRACTISED WALKING IN THESE CONTRIVANCES 
     18265starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0034 AND SHE SOON BECAME VERY EXPERT IN SLIDING OVER THE SNOW 
     18266starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0035 DURING THE LAST FEW DAYS SEVERAL BANDS OF INDIANS HAD ARRIVED AT THE FORT 
     18267starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0036 TO EXCHANGE THE SPOILS OF THE WINTER CHASE FOR MANUFACTURED GOODS

     18269starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0038 BUT THE FURS OF BEAVERS OTTERS LYNXES ERMINES AND FOXES WERE SCARCE 
     18270starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0039 IT WAS THEREFORE A WISE STEP FOR THE COMPANY TO ENDEAVOUR TO EXPLORE A NEW COUNTRY 
     18271starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0040 WHERE THE WILD ANIMALS HAD HITHERTO ESCAPED THE RAPACITY OF MAN

     18280starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0049 BY TRAVELLING AT THE RATE OF FIFTEEN MILES A DAY 
     18281starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0050 THE LIEUTENANT HOPED TO HALT THERE ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF MAY 
     18282starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0051 FROM THIS POINT THE EXPEDITION WAS TO TAKE THE SHORTEST ROUTE TO CAPE BATHURST 
     18283starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0052 ON THE NORTH AMERICAN COAST IT WAS AGREED THAT IN A YEAR CAPTAIN CRAVENTY

     18288starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0057 THIS PLAN WAS A GUARANTEE AGAINST ANY ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES 
     18289starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0058 AND LEFT A MEANS OF COMMUNICATION WITH THEIR FELLOW CREATURES 
     18290starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0059 OPEN TO THE LIEUTENANT AND HIS VOLUNTARY COMPANIONS IN EXILE

     18294starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0063 AND SAID A FEW KIND WORDS TO THEM 
     18295starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0064 HE URGED THEM ABOVE ALL THINGS TO STAND BY ONE ANOTHER 
     18296starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0065 IN THE PERILS THEY MIGHT BE CALLED UPON TO MEET 
     18297starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0066 REMINDED THEM THAT THE ENTERPRISE UPON WHICH THEY WERE ABOUT TO ENTER

     18308starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0077 FROM THE PRECEDING SLEDGE SO AS TO AVOID ALL CONFUSION 
     18309starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0078 A NECESSARY PRECAUTION AS A COLLISION BETWEEN TWO SLEDGES GOING AT FULL SPEED 
     18310starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0079 MIGHT HAVE HAD DISASTROUS RESULTS 
     18311starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0080 ON LEAVING FORT RELIANCE JASPAR HOBSON AT ONCE DIRECTED HIS COURSE 
     18312starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0081 TOWARDS THE NORTH WEST 
     18313starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0082 THE FIRST THING TO BE DONE WAS TO CROSS THE LARGE RIVER CONNECTING 
     18314starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0083 LAKES SLAVE AND WOLMSLEY WHICH WAS HOWEVER STILL FROZEN SO HARD 
     18315starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0084 AS TO BE UNDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE VAST WHITE PLAINS AROUND 
     18316starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0085 A UNIFORM CARPET OF SNOW COVERED THE WHOLE COUNTRY 
     18317starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0086 AND THE SLEDGES DRAWN BY THEIR SWIFT TEAMS 
     18318starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0087 SPED RAPIDLY OVER THE FIRM SMOOTH SURFACE 
     18319starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0088 THE WEATHER WAS FINE BUT STILL VERY COLD THE SUN

     18322starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0091 FORTUNATELY NOT A BREATH OF AIR STIRRED 
     18323starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0092 AND THIS LESSENED THE SEVERITY OF THE COLD 
     18324starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0093 ALTHOUGH THE RAPID PACE OF THE SLEDGES THROUGH THE KEEN ATMOSPHERE MUST 
     18325starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0094 HAVE BEEN TRYING TO ANY ONE NOT INURED TO THE RIGOUR OF A POLAR CLIMATE

     18347starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0116 AND MRS BARNETT AND MADGE ALSO EXCHANGED A FEW SENTENCES

     18349starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0118 GAZED IN ASTONISHMENT UPON THE RUGGED SCENERY AROUND THEM 
     18350starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0119 AND AT THE WHITE OUTLINES OF THE HUGE GLACIERS STANDING OUT AGAINST THE HORIZON 
     18351starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0120 THEY HAD ALREADY LEFT BEHIND THEM THE HILLS OF THE NORTHERN BANKS OF THE SLAVE LAKE

     18466starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0235 BUT CORPORAL JOLIFFE WAS EVIDENTLY NOT YET ENOUGH OF AN ESQUIMAUX 
     18467starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0236 TO BE ABLE TO MANAGE THE WHIP WITH ITS THONG FOUR FEET LONGER THAN THE SLEDGE

     18470starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0239 SENDING HIS FUR CAP INTO THE AIR 
     18471starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0240 PERHAPS WITH ONE OF HIS EARS IN IT

     18474starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0243 FORTUNATELY IT WAS THICK AND SOFT SO THAT THEY ESCAPED UNHURT 
     18475starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0244 BUT WHAT A DISGRACE FOR THE CORPORAL 
     18476starlite-20070613-fur5/mfc/fur0245 HOW REPROACHFULLY HIS LITTLE WIFE LOOKED AT HIM
