It was on a bleak January day. He left Calumet Camp to go up to Paul Creek.

He was a strong young man; he had big bones and big muscles.
-
He tried to eat a biscuit but couldn’t finish it because his fingers began to get cold.
-
He traveled up the creek.
-
He broke through the ice, plummeting into the freezing cold water.
-
He was fighting nature for his life.
-
He attempts to build a fire.
-
He attempts to build a fire again.
-
He set his sights on some twigs and went to them struggling because his hands were so cold and useless.
-
He finally arrives at the camp on Cherry Creek.
