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.
