Dans le sable ormud de presque toutes les plages, il voit des traces d'ours, usallyeceux des ours noirs, mais maintenant et puis le puissant im-print - et les grandes marques de griffe montrent clairement - de l'agrizzli. Il y a aussi de grandes pistes de loups, pour ne pas dire celles de divers autres animaux.

. On the headwaters of Peace River : a narrative of a thousand-mile canoe trip to a little-known range of the Canadian Rockies . erely tried whenhe goes into these Canadian wilds. In the sand ormud of nearly every beach he sees bear tracks, usuallythose of black bears, but now and then the mighty im-print—and the great claw marks show plainly—of agrizzly. There are big wolf tracks, also, to say nothingof those of various other animals. The tenderfoot, ofcourse, remembers the stories of his youth, which gen-erally represent bears and wolves as continually on theprowl, seeking human beings to devour. Little wonder, then, that as the camp-fire dies down, as he listens tothe distant hoot of the great owls or the indescribablehowl of the coyotes, he shivers in his blanket and pullsit over his head ! Really the danger from wild animals to which thecamper is exposed is infinitesimal. In the depth of win-ter in a wolf country a hungry pack might pounce upona sleeping man who had permitted his fire to die down, but this is almost the only conceivable danger.

Bears now and then comeinto camp in search of something to eat, or they mayblunder in by mistake, but they do not come in to beginhostilities with the occupants. Down somewhere in the Fraser country Joe;, LavoIeonce had an adventure that startled him a bit, but lefthim laughing after it was over.
