himself to be a very remarkable man, on that occasion. Whilst in the water, he, first of all, figured out how long he could stay afloat in that ice cold water, with oil skins and rubber boots dragging him down.
He then watched Mr. Russell and I shipping the canoe and told us afterwards exactly where we gained a few seconds and where we lost time.
His mind was quite clear till the very last moment.
The remainder of our trip was uneventful but we were all glad to get to Resolution, have a few good feeds and forget the rough life of the last six weeks.
