FROM nLAcxwooD’s MAGAZINE.
TERRITORY. t
After residing nearly a year in one ofthe most
distant posts of the Northwest Company, and
forward to my return to Montreal. I waited with
the greatest impatience for the arrival of the pe-
riod which was to terminate my banishment, and t
restore me to society. I was nearly three thou-
sand miles distant from any settlement, and my
only companions were two young men, clerks of
the establishment, whose characters, and limited 1
acquirements, réndered them very uninteresting I
associates. My situation was one ofconsider-able
responsibility. A great number of Canadians, in
the service of the company, resided at the post,
and were under my control; but I found it a very-
difficult. matter to keep them in a state of due sub-
ordination, and to prevent them from quarrelling
and fighting is-itlrthe detached parties oflndians I
that occasionally visited us lor the purpose oftra—
ding. Interest, and personal safety, alike, requir-
ed. that we should be on friendly terms with the
natives ; and I spent many anxious hours in endea-
voring to promote mutual peace and good humor.
Our post was situated upon the banks ofa small
lake, about sixteen miles broad. This lake dis-
charged itself by means ofa river, into another
of much greater dimensions, and thick forests co-
vered every part of theneighboring country.
One afternoon, I took my gun, and strolled out
in search of game. Though it was now the be-
ginning of spring the lake was still frozen com-
pletely across, the cold of the preceding winter
having been very intense. I soon fell in with a
flock of wild ducks, but before I could get a shot
at them, they began to fly towards the middle of
the lake ; however, I followed them fearlessly o-
ver the ice, in the expectation that they would
soon alight. The weather was mild, though ra-
ther blowy. Detached black clouds moved rap-
idly along the face of Heaven, in immense mas-
ses, and the sun blazed forth in unobscured splen-
dor at one moment, and was completely shroud
ed from the eye‘the next. I was so intent on the
pursuit of my game, that I hastened forward al-
most unconsciously, my progress being much fa-
cilitated by a tltin layer of snow which covered the
ice, and rendered the footing tolerably secure.
At last I fired at the ducks, and killed one and
wounded another. I immediately picked up the
first, but its companion’, having only been wing-
ed, began to leap away before I caught hold ofit.
I followed, but had not advanced more than 20
yards, when to my astonishment, I found that the
ice was in many places covered with water to the
depth of several inches. I stopped short full of
alarm, and irresolute what to do. It was evident
thata thaw had already commenced, and as I well
knew with what rapidity the ice broke up when,

the sky was very black and lgowering. Large
flakes of snow soon began to falllilanguitlly and
perpendicularly through the air {and alter alittle
time, these were accompanied by a thick shower
of sleety rain, which gradually became so dense,
that I could not discern the shore. I strained my
eyes to catch a glance of some living object, but
a dreai y and motionless expanse stretched around
me on every side, and the appalling silence that
prevailed was sometimes interrupted by the rece-
ding cries of the wounded bird. All nature seem.
ed to be awaiting some terrible event. I listened
in fearful suspense, though I ltiiew not what 1 ex.
pccted to hear. lsoon distinguished a distant
thundering noise. which gradually became stron-
ger, and appeared to approach the place wltere I
stood. Repeated explosions, and hollow mur-
murings of irregular loudness, were succeeded
by a tremendous sound, like that of rocks burst-
ing asunder. The ice trembled beneath my feet,
and the next moment it was dist-tnited by a vast
chasm, which opened itself within a few yards of
me. The water of the lake rushed upwards thro’
the gap with foaming fury, and began to flood

become affected, consttmption ensues, and death

by listening to some, and adopting the opinion of
others prevail ; thereby preventing a trial of such
medicines as might afford relief, under the idea
that no relief can be obtained. Scarce a case oc-

I found this to be impossible. I vainly endeav-

wildly along, involving every thing in obscurity,

me, and feeling as if I no longer hadthe least

The -yvipd, which was pretty strong, drove the
ice down the lake very fast. My alarms and aux-
ieties had gradually become less intense, and "I
was several tithes overcome by a sort of stupor,
during the continuance ofwhich, imagination and
reality combined their dlstractecfinfluettco. At
one time, I fancied that the snow still drifted as
violently as ever, and that I distinguished through
its hazy medium, a band of Indian chiefs walking
past me upon the surface of the lake. Their steps
were noiseless, and they went along with war: and
dejected looks and downcast eyes, and paid no at
tention to my exelamations and entreaties for re-
lief. At another, I thought I was floating in the
middle of the ocean, and that a blazing sun flamed
in the cloudless sky, and made the ice which sup-
ported me, melt so fast, that I heard streams of
water pouring from its sides, and felt myself eve‘-'
ry moment descending toward the surface of the
billows. A was usually wakened from such dream:
by some noise or violent concussion, but always
relapsed into them whenever the cause of distur-
bance ceased to operate.
The longest and last of these slumbers was bro-
ken by a terrible shock, which my ice island re-
ceived, and which threw me from my seat, and
nearly precipitated me into the lake. On regain-
ing my former position, and looking round, I per-
ceived, to my joy and astonishment, that I was in
a river. The water between me and the shore
was still frozen over, and was about thirty yards
I stood could not approach any nearer than this.
After a moment of irresolution, I leaped upon the
frozen surface, and began to run towards the bank
ofthe river. My feet seemed scarcely to touch
the ice, so great was my terror lost it should give
way beneath me ; but I reached the shore in safe-
ty, and dropped down completely exhausted by
fatigue and agitation.
It was now broad day light, but I neither saw
animals or human beings, nor any vestiges of
and bewildering my steps with malignant influ-
ence. '-' I sometimes fancied I saw the spot where
our post was situated, and even the trees and hou.
ses upon it ; but the next moment a gust of wind
would whirl away the fantastic shaped fogs that
had produced the agreeable illusion, and reduce
me to actionless despair. I fired my gun repeat.
edly, in the hope that the report would bring
some one to my assistance ; however, the shores
alone acknowledged, by feeble echoes, that the
sound had reached them. ,
The storm increased in violence, and at inter-
vals the sound of the ice breaking up, rolled upon
my ear likedistant thunder, and seemed to mot.
ter appalling‘ threats. Alarm and fatigue made
me dizzy, and I threw down my gun and rushed
