Above the rapids we discovered a small bay, towards which Uncle Donald's voice summoned us.  As we landed he grasped my hand, showing his joy at my escape.  It was some time before Pierre arrived.  Hugh came in his canoe, while the rest of the men had arrived over land with the luggage which had been saved, as also with our rifles, which, having been slung under the thwarts, had fortunately not slipped out.
