a big splash. Mr. Hasselborg was in the canoe alone and shot a beaver and just grazed his back bone so that he was paralyzed for the time being. He paddled up and grabbed him by the tail and just then the beaver came to and the trouble began. Hasselborg held on and hauled for dear life but the beaver was a big one and soon capsized the canoe. Hasselborg saw the camera was floating around and so let go of the beaver and grabbed it before it went down. We saw a deer in the morning and got within 50 feet of it and tried to get a photo but it got wind of us and bolted into the brush. -May 26- We went up to the head of the lake this morning and had to break the ice for the last mile to get thru. We found a fine series of beaver dams and Littlejohn shot twice at a deer but didn't get it. We had only a few prunes and a little pea soup for breakfast so was about starved and we couldn't find any trout.
