"What we were most afraid of was that you would come quickly back to Fort Providence, never dreaming of danger." "Oh, I saw it all. Your repeated shots gave me the alarm. When you commenced firing I was beside the wreck of the Porpoise, but I climbed up a hummock, and discovered five bears close on your heels.
