As they walked back to the canoes, Etsi noticed Peter rubbing his hand.
"What happened?" she asked.
"I guess I scraped myself when I slid down the hill," said Peter. "It doesn't
really hurt."
Etsi came over and looked at the cut. "Just to be sure, let's put some spruce
gum on it."
They walked over to a nearby spruce tree. Etsi took out her knife and carefully
peeled some soft gum off its trunk. "Here. Put this on your cut. It will heal
quickly."
They met the others by the canoes and headed off once again. The past few days
had been hot and sunny but now the weather was changing. The wind was stronger
and John noticed Etseh watching some large, dark clouds to the west.
"This weather isn't looking good. I think we should camp on that island by the
point. We can wait there and see what happens." The canoes changed direction and
headed towards the island.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew across the lake.
The waves rose and water splashed into the canoe. John stopped paddling. He grabbed
the sides of the canoe.
"Pick up your paddle John!" yelled Etseh. "We need everyone
to paddle hard!"
