"Do you know the chosen water where the ouananiche is waiting?"
Dick and I travelled in a fifteen-foot wooden canoe, with grub, duffel, tent, and Deuce, the black-and-white setter dog. As a consequence we were pretty well down toward the water-line, for we had not realized that a wooden canoe would carry so little weight for its length in comparison with a birch-bark. A good heavy sea we could ride--with proper management and a little baling; but sloppy1 waves kept us busy.
Deuce did not like it at all. He was a dog old in the wisdom of experience. It had taken him just twenty minutes to learn all about canoes. After a single tentative trial he jumped lightly to the very centre of his place, with the lithe2 caution of a cat. Then if the water happened to be smooth, he would sit gravely on his haunches, or would rest his chin on the gunwale to contemplate3 the passing landscape. But in rough weather he crouched4 directly over the keel, his nose between his paws, and tried not to dodge5 when the cold water dashed in on him. Deuce was a true woodsman in that respect. Discomfort6 he always bore with equanimity7, and he must often have been very cold and very cramped8.
For just over a week we had been travelling in open water, and the elements had not been kind to us at all. We had crept up under rock-cliff points; had weathered the rips of white water to shelter on the other side; had struggled across open spaces where each wave was singly a problem to fail in whose solution meant instant swamping; had baled, and schemed, and figured, and carried, and sworn, and tried again, and succeeded with about two cupfuls to spare, until we as well as Deuce had grown a little tired of it. For the lust9 of travel was on us.
The lust of travel is a very real disease. It usually takes you when you have made up your mind that there is no hurry. Its predisposing cause is a chart or map, and its main symptom is the feverish10 delight with which you check off the landmarks11 of your journey. A fair wind of some force is absolutely fatal. With that at your back you cannot stop. Good fishing, fine scenery, interesting bays, reputed game, even camps where friends might be visited--all pass swiftly astern. Hardly do you pause for lunch at noon. The mad joy of putting country behind you eats all other interests. You recover only when you have come to your journey's end a week too early, and must then search out new voyages to fill in the time.
All this morning we had been bucking14 a strong north wind. Fortunately, the shelter of a string of islands had given us smooth water enough, but the heavy gusts15 sometimes stopped us as effectively as though we had butted16 solid land. Now about noon we came to the last island, and looked out on a five-mile stretch of tumbling seas. We landed the canoe and mounted a high rock.
"Can't make it like this," said I. "I'll take the outfit17 over and land it, and come back for you and the dog. Let's see that chart."
We hid behind the rock and spread out the map.
"Four miles," measured Dick. "It's going to be a terror."
We looked at each other vaguely18, suddenly tired.
"We can't camp here--at this time of day," objected Dick, to our unspoken thoughts.
And then the map gave him an inspiration. "Here's a little river," ruminated19 Dick, "that goes to a little lake, and then there's another little river that flows from the lake and comes out about ten miles above here."
"It's a good thirty miles," I objected.
"What of it?" asked Dick calmly.
So the fever-lust of travel broke. We turned to the right behind the last island, searched out the reed-grown opening to the stream, and paddled serenely20 and philosophically21 against the current. Deuce sat up and yawned with a mighty22 satisfaction.
We had been bending our heads to the demon23 of wind; our ears had been filled with his shoutings, our eyes blinded with tears, our breath caught away from us, our muscles strung to the fiercest endeavour. Suddenly we found ourselves between the ranks of tall forest trees, bathed in a warm sunlight, gliding24 like a feather from one grassy25 bend to another of the laziest little stream that ever hesitated as to which way the grasses of its bed should float. As for the wind, it was lost somewhere away up high, where we could hear it muttering to itself about something.
The woods leaned over the fringe of bushes cool and green and silent. Occasionally through tiny openings we caught instant impressions of straight column trunks and transparent26 shadows. Miniature grass marshes28 jutted29 out from the bends of the little river. We idled along as with a homely30 rustic31 companion through the aloofness32 of patrician33 multitudes.
Every bend offered us charming surprises. Sometimes a muskrat34 swam hastily in a pointed35 furrow36 of ripple37; vanishing wings, barely sensed in the flash, left us staring; stealthy withdrawals38 of creatures, whose presence we realized only in the fact of those withdrawals, snared39 our eager interest; porcupines40 rattled41 and rustled42 importantly and regally from the water's edge to the woods; herons, ravens43, an occasional duck, croaked44 away at our approach; thrice we surprised eagles, once a tassel-eared Canada lynx. Or, if all else lacked, we still experienced the little thrill of pleased novelty over the disclosure of a group of silvery birches on a knoll45; a magnificent white pine towering over the beech46 and maple47 forest; the unexpected aisle48 of a long, straight stretch of the little river.
Deuce approved thoroughly49. He stretched himself and yawned and shook off the water, and glanced at me open-mouthed with doggy good-nature, and set himself to acquiring a conscientious50 olfactory51 knowledge of both banks of the river. I do not doubt he knew a great deal more about it than we did. Porcupines aroused his special enthusiasm. Incidentally, two days later he returned to camp after an expedition of his own, bristling52 as to the face with that animal's barbed weapons. Thenceforward his interest waned53.
We ascended54 the charming little river two or three miles. At a sharp bend to the east a huge sheet of rock sloped from a round grass knoll sparsely55 planted with birches directly down into a pool. Two or three tree trunks jammed directly opposite had formed a sort of half dam under which the water lay dark. A tiny grass meadow forty feet in diameter narrowed the stream to half its width.
We landed. Dick seated himself on the shelving rock. I put my fish-rod together. Deuce disappeared.
Deuce always disappeared whenever we landed. With nose down, hind12 quarters well tucked under him, ears flying, he quartered the forest at high speed, investigating every nook and cranny of it for the radius56 of a quarter of a mile. When he has quite satisfied himself that we were safe for the moment, he would return to the fire, where he would lie, six inches of pink tongue vibrating with breathlessness, beautiful in the consciousness of virtue57. Dick generally sat on a rock and thought. I generally fished.
After a time Deuce returned. I gave up flies, spoons, phantom58 minnows, artificial frogs, and crayfish. As Dick continued to sit on the rock and think, we both joined him. The sun was very warm and grateful, and I am sure we both acquired an added respect for Dick's judgment59.
Just when it happened neither of us was afterwards able to decide. Perhaps Deuce knew. But suddenly, as often a figure appears in a cinematograph, the diminutive60 meadow thirty feet away contained two deer. They stood knee-deep in the grass, wagging their little tails in impatience61 of the flies.
"Look a' there!" stammered62 Dick aloud.
Deuce sat up on his haunches.
I started for my camera.
The deer did not seem to be in the slightest degree alarmed. They pointed four big ears in our direction, ate a few leisurely63 mouthfuls of grass, sauntered to the stream for a drink of water, wagged their little tails some more, and quietly faded into the cool shadows of the forest.
An hour later we ran out into reeds, and so to the lake. It was a pretty lake, forest-girt. Across the distance we made out a moving object which shortly resolved itself into a birch canoe. The canoe proved to contain an Indian, an Indian boy of about ten years, a black dog, and a bundle. When within a few rods of each other we ceased paddling, and drifted by with the momentum64. The Indian was a fine-looking man of about forty, his hair bound with a red fillet, his feet incased in silk-worked moccasins, but otherwise dressed in white men's garments. He smoked a short pipe, and contemplated65 us gravely.
"Bo' jou', bo' jou'," we called in the usual double-barrelled North Country salutation.
"Bo' jou', bo' jou," he replied.
"Kee-gons?" we inquired as to the fishing in the lake.
We drifted by each other without further speech. When the decent distance of etiquette67 separated us we resumed our paddles.
I produced a young cable terminated by a tremendous spoon and a solid brass68 snell as thick as a telegraph wire. We had laid in this formidable implement69 in hopes of a big muscallunge. It had been trailed for days at a time. We had become used to its vibration70, which actually seemed to communicate itself to every fibre of the light canoe. Every once in a while we would stop with a jerk that would nearly snap our heads off. Then we would know we had hooked the American continent. We had become used to that also. It generally happened when we attempted a little burst of speed. So when the canoe brought up so violently that all our tinware rolled on Deuce, Dick was merely disgusted.
"There she goes again," he grumbled71. "You've hooked Canada."
Canada held quiescent72 for about three seconds. Then it started due south.
"Suffering serpents!" shrieked73 Dick.
"Paddle, you sulphurated idiot!" yelled I.
It was most interesting. All I had to do was to hang on and try to stay in the boat. Dick paddled and fumed74 and splashed water and got more excited. Canada dragged us bodily backward.
Then Canada changed his mind and started in our direction. I was plenty busy taking in slack, so I did not notice Dick. Dick was absolutely demented. His mind automatically reacted in the direction of paddling. He paddled, blindly, frantically76. Canada came surging in, his mouth open, his wicked eyes flaming, a tremendous indistinct body lashing77 foam78. Dick glanced once over his shoulder, and let out a frantic75 howl.
"You've got the sea-serpent!" he shrieked.
I turned to fumble79 for the pistol. We were headed directly for a log stranded80 on shore, and about ten feet from it.
"Dick!" I yelled in warning.
He thrust his paddle out forward just in time. The stout81 maple bent82 and cracked. The canoe hit with a bump that threw us forward. I returned to the young cable. It came in limp and slack.
We looked at each other sadly.
"No use," sighed Dick at last. "They've never invented the words, and we'd upset if we kicked the dog."
I had the end of the line in my hands.
"Look here!" I cried. That thick brass wire had been as cleanly bitten through as though it had been cut with clippers. "He must have caught sight of you," said I.
Dick lifted up his voice in lamentation83. "You had four feet of him out of water," he wailed84, "and there was a lot more."
"If you had kept cool," said I severely85, "we shouldn't have lost him. You don't want to get rattled in an emergency; there's no sense in it."
"What were you going to do with that?" asked Dick, pointing to where I had laid the pistol.
"I was going to shoot him in the head," I replied with dignity. "It's the best way to land them."
Dick laughed disagreeably. I looked down. At my side lay our largest iron spoon.
We skirted the left-hand side of the lake in silence. Far out from shore the water was ruffled86 where the wind swept down, but with us it was as still and calm as the forest trees that looked over into it. After a time we turned short to the left through a very narrow passage between two marshy87 shores, and so, after a sharp bend of but a few hundred feet, came into the other river.
This was a wide stream, smoothly88 hurrying, without rapids or tumult89. The forest had drawn90 to either side to let us pass. Here were the wilder reaches after the intimacies91 of the little river. Across stretches of marsh27 we could see an occasional great blue heron standing92 mid-leg deep. Long strings93 of ducks struggled quacking94 from invisible pools. The faint marsh odour saluted95 our nostrils96 from the point where the lily-pads flashed broadly, ruffling97 in the wind. We dropped out the smaller spoon and masterfully landed a five-pound pickerel. Even Deuce brightened. He cared nothing for raw fish, but he knew their possibilities. Towards evening we entered the hilly country, and so at the last turned to the left into a sand cove13 where grew maples98 and birches in beautiful park order under a hill. There we pitched camp, and, as the flies lacked, built a friendship-fire about which to forgather when the day was done.
Dick still vocally99 regretted the muscallunge told him of my big bear.
One day, late in the summer, I was engaged in packing some supplies along an old fur trail north of Lake Superior. I had accomplished100 one back-load, and with empty straps101 was returning to the cache for another. The trail at one point emerged into and crossed an open park some hundreds of feet in diameter, in which the grass grew to the height of the knee. When I was about halfway102 across, a black bear arose to his hind legs not ten feet from me, and remarked _Woof!_ in a loud tone of voice. Now, if a man were to say _woof_ to you unexpectedly, even in the formality of an Italian garden or the accustomedness of a city street, you would be somewhat startled. So I went to camp. There I told them about the bear. I tried to be conservative in my description, because I did not wish to be accused of exaggeration. My impression of the animal was that he and a spruce tree that grew near enough for ready comparison were approximately of the same stature103. We returned to the grass park. After some difficulty we found a clear footprint. It was a little larger than that made by a good-sized coon.
"So, you see," I admonished104 didactically, "that lunge probably was not quite so large as you thought."
"It may have been a Chinese bear," said Dick dreamily--"a Chinese lady bear of high degree."
I gave him up.
