When I awoke the darkness was as complete as ever, though supposing it was still night, I once more went to sleep.  The next time I opened my eyes it was still dark as before.  I felt warmer than I had expected, but I was desperately hungry.  From this I fancied that another day must have begun.  In a short time my companions awoke.  Hugh said the pain in his instep had gone, but that he would give much for something to eat. Red Squirrel did not suffer as much as we did, for Indians are able to endure hunger and pain a much longer time than can white people.
