 12   10|     tossed my axe back on to the ice, but, as if some evil genius
 13   10|     curiosity, I lay down on the ice and looked through the hole,

 32   14|           though an inch more of ice had formed, as I could see
 33   14|       like an Indian summer, the ice was not now transparent,

 35   14|  occupied with regard to the new ice, I broke out a cake containing

 46   16|      their cabins high above the ice, though none could be seen

 49   17|         snow, and then a foot of ice, and open a window under
 50   17|          the narrow holes in the ice, which were four or five
 51   17|         a foot or more above the ice, and tied a dry oak leaf

 57   17|         thus discovered that the ice over a small space was two
 58   17|      pushing me out on a cake of ice to see it. It was a small

 60   17|          level cannot be used on ice. At one rod from the shore
 61   17|         a graduated staff on the ice, was three quarters of an
 62   17|  quarters of an inch, though the ice appeared firmly attached
 63   17|       shore and the third on the ice, and the sights were directed
 64   17|    latter, a rise or fall of the ice of an almost infinitesimal
 65   17|      four inches of water on the ice under a deep snow which
 66   17|     streams, which wore away the ice on every side, and contributed

 74   17|         every day to get out the ice. They divided it into cakes

 82   17|          blue color of water and ice is due to the light and
 83   17|       transparent is the bluest. Ice is an interesting subject
 84   18|       wears away the surrounding ice. But such was not the effect
 85   18|         to melt or wear away the ice. I never knew it to open
 86   18|          in shallow water, under ice a foot thick, at 36'. This
 87   18|          sooner than Walden. The ice in the shallowest part was
 88   18|         been the warmest and the ice thinnest there. So, also,
 89   18|          its heat passes through ice a foot or more thick, and
 90   18|      melts the under side of the ice, at the same time that it

 92   18|          near to the surface the ice over it is much thinner,
 93   18|        winter melts off the snow ice from Walden, and leaves
 94   18|         hard dark or transparent ice on the middle, there will
 95   18|      rotten though thicker white ice, a rod or more wide, about
 96   18|    bubbles themselves within the ice operate as burning-glasses
 97   18|      burning-glasses to melt the ice beneath.~ ~
 98   18|      cracking and booming of the ice indicate a change of temperature.

104   18|        part with a firm field of ice. It was a warm day, and
105   18|        to see so great a body of ice remaining. Not seeing any
106   18|         side, to await them. The ice was melted for three or
