"Dead?"
he
gasped.
"Who's
dead--where
are
you?
Thor?"
Then,
"Who
is
it?
Loo?
Margat?"
"Corney--Corney,"
came
feebly
from
the
bunk.
"They're
in
there.
They're
awful
sick.
We
have
nothing
to
eat."
"Oh,
what
a
fool
I
be!"
said
Corney
again
and
again.
"I
made
sure
ye'd
go
to
Ellerton's
and
get
all
ye
wanted."
"We
had
no
chance,
Corney;
we
were
all
three
brought
down
at
once,
right
after
you
left.
Then
the
Lynx
came
and
cleared
up
the
Hens,
and
all
in
the
house,
too."
"Well,
ye
got
even
with
her,"
and
Corney
pointed
to
the
trail
of
blood
across
the
mud
floor
and
out
under
the
logs.
Good
food,
nursing,
and
medicine
restored
them
all.
A
month
or
two
later,
when
the
women
wanted
a
new
leaching-barrel,
Thor
said:
"I
know
where
there
is
a
hollow
basswood
as
big
as
a
hogshead."
He
and
Corney
went
to
the
place,
and
when
they
cut
off
what
they
needed,
they
found
in
the
far
end
of
it
the
dried-up
bodies
of
two
little
Lynxes
with
that
of
the
mother,
and
in
the
side
of
the
old
one
was
the
head
of
a
fish-spear
broken
from
the
handle.
