140 II, X | can pass the rest of the winter.”~“Poor Fort Hope!” exclaimed
141 II, X | made his men assume their winter garments, the linen vests
142 II, X | at the beginning of the winter before. Perhaps, however,
143 II, X | acclimatised.~Certainly the winter did not set in so abruptly
144 II, X | hunted. Should the dark winter be prolonged, the colonists
