Excerpt from Sporting Adventures in the New World, or Days and Nights of Moose-Hunting in the Pine Forests of Acadia, Vol. 2 of 2
The occasional bark of a prowling fox, the loud, booming noise made by the night-hawk in swooping downwards from a great eleva tion on his prey; or the hollow plunge of a musk-rat, or mink, diving into the water, caught my ear at intervals. Standing still, however, in the night air, soon made me feel inclined to return to the crackling fire, the light of which, illuminating the outlines of the camp and adjacent trees, shewed a picture strongly contrasting with the one I had just gazed on.
We were all cold enough when, at the very peep of day, first, Frederic's arousing saluta tion, and then, the notes of birds, caused us unwillingly to open our eyes.
