the saw skyline of the low lying hell.

10:25

He watched him go daily, passed over the

10:27

crest and disappear. Then

10:29

he turned his gaze and slowly took in the

10:31

circle of the world that remained him. By.

10:34

The bill was. Near.

10:38

The horizon. the sun was smoldering

Somewhere beyond those bleak kills lay the

And it's forbidding way across the Canadian

11:24

11:29

Stream and which he stood as a

11:31

feeder to the copper mine river. Which.

11:33

In turn, flowed north and emptied

11:35

into Coronation Go. And the

11:38

Arctic Ocean. He.

Never been there. But. He had seen

12:47

shoulder. So. As to take a portion

12:49

of it's away from off the injured ankle. Then.

He proceeded slowly and carefully, wincing with

The desperation that was madness. On.

13:03

Mindful of the pain, He

Which is Conrad had disappeared. More.

13:11

Grotesque and comical by far than

The. Sky was gray. There.

Was no son nor and of. The.

21:13

Had no idea of north. And. He

21:15

had forgotten the way he had come to the spot

21:17

the night before. But.

21:20

He was not lost. The. New that. Sony.

21:24

Or gum the land of the little steaks. He

21:27

felt that it lay off the last somewhere. Now

21:30

far. Possibly just over

21:32

the next Lodo. He

21:36

went back to put his back into shape

21:38

or traveling. They. Himself

of the existence of his three separate

21:43

parcels of matter. Though. He

21:45

did not start to counter. But.

21:48

He did linger. Debating. Over

21:51

a Scott most I'd say. There

21:54

was no large. They. Can hide

21:56

it under his two hands. He.

21:59

Knew that away. The pounds. As

22:01

much as all the rest of the back. And

22:03

it worried of. He.

22:08

Finally started to one side and proceeded to

22:11

roll back. A pause.

22:13

The Gays, the Scott move sides. Depicted.

22:17

Of hastily with a different glance about

22:20

him. As. Though the Desolation

22:22

were trying to rob another. How.

22:24

Many rows do is feed to stagger into the

22:26

day. There. Was included in the back

22:29

on his back. A

22:34

now and he must go. Bears. His

22:37

ankle and stephen. This lamp

22:39

was more pronounced. The

22:41

pain of it was as nothing compared with the

22:44

pain of is. The.

22:46

hunger bangs or sharp. They. Nod,

22:48

nod until he can. I keep his

22:50

mind study on the chorus you must pursue

22:53

to gain the land of little stacks.

22:56

The. Most gag barriers did allay this

22:58

night. While I made his

23:01

tongue and the roof of his mouth sore

23:03

with the irritating by. He.

23:07

Came upon a valley where the rock

23:09

ptarmigan rose on worrying wings from the

23:11

ledges and musk. Ox. Car.

23:15

Car. Car was the guy they may.

23:19

He threw stones at them but couldn't either.

23:22

He placed his back on the ground and start

23:24

them as a cast knocks a sparrow. The

23:28

sharp rocks cut through this pant legs

23:30

to his knees left a trail of

23:32

blood. But. There was lost

in the heard of his hunger. Be.

23:38

Squirmed over the web months saturating his

23:41

clothes and chilling his body. But.

23:43

He was not aware of it. So gray

23:45

it was his fever for food. And.

23:49

Always Ptarmigan roads. worrying.

23:51

Before him. Filler. Kercher

23:54

became a mock time.

23:57

And a curse down and cried aloud at them. With.

23:59

Their own. Once.

24:03

He crawled up on one. There must have been asleep.

24:06

He did not see a toilet shot up in

24:08

his face from it's rocky knock. A

24:12

medical or just startled as was the rise

24:14

of the Ptarmigan. And. There

24:16

remained in his hand three tail feathers.

24:20

As he was display. He hated it.

24:23

As though I had done him some terrible wrong.

24:26

Then. He returned and shouldered as bad. As

24:31

the Day War along. A game

24:33

in the valleys and Swales were game

24:35

was more plentiful. A

24:37

band of Caribou pass by. Twenty

an odd animals tantalizingly within

24:42

rifle range. He.

24:45

Felt a while desire to run after them.

24:48

A certitude that good Run them down.

24:52

A Black Sox game door him. Carrying.

24:55

A term again in his mouth. The.

24:58

Man shouted. There

25:00

was a fearful crude. But. The

25:02

fox sleeping away and fry Do not

25:04

drop the diarrhea. Late.

25:09

In the afternoon he followed a

25:11

stream milky with lime which ran

25:13

through sparse patches of rush grass.

25:16

Grasping. These russia's firmly near the

25:18

roof. He pulled up or

25:21

resembled a young onions brow no larger

25:23

than a single now. There.

25:26

Was tender and his teeth sank into

25:28

it with a crunch that promise deliciously

25:30

of food. But.

25:32

It's five or sorta. There.

25:34

Was composers stringy filaments saturated with

25:37

water like the berries and devoid

25:39

of nourishment. It

25:42

throughout his back and went into the rush

25:44

grass on hands and knees. Crunching,

25:46

And munching. Like. Some bovine

25:48

creature. Is

25:51

very weary than often wished. arrest.

25:54

To lie down and silly. But.

25:56

He was continually driven on. Not.

25:59

So much by. The desire to gain the land

26:01

of the little sticks as by his hunger. The

26:05

search little pawns for frogs and dug up

26:08

the earth with his nails for worms. Though.

26:11

He knew and spy the neither frogs

26:13

nor worms existed so far north. He

26:18

looked into every pool of water vainly. Until.

26:21

As the long twilight came on. He

26:24

discovered a solitary fish. The. Size

26:26

of a minnow and such a pool. He

26:31

plunges arm enough to the shoulder. But.

26:33

Eluded him. A

26:35

reach for with both hands and stirred up

26:38

the milky nine at the bottom. And.

26:41

As exam and he fell in. Wedding.

26:44

Himself to the waste. Then

26:47

the water was to money to admit of is

26:49

seeing the fish. And he was

26:51

compelled to wait until the sediment and subtle. The.

26:56

Pursue as are new. To. The

26:58

water was again money. But

27:01

He could no way. He

27:03

and strap the tin bucket. And. Began

27:05

to bail the poor. A

27:09

bail wildly a first. Splashing,

27:11

Himself and flinging the water so short

27:13

distance that it ran back into the

27:15

pool. They

27:20

worked more carefully. Striving. To

27:22

be cool. Those. Are was pounding

27:24

against his chest and his hands are trembling.

27:29

At the end of have an hour the pool

27:31

was nearly dry. And a

27:33

couple of water remain. And

27:35

there was no fish. He

27:38

found a has in Kravis among the stones.

27:40

Throw. It at as. To. The

27:42

adjoining and larger pool. A

27:45

pool which she could not empty and in a in

27:47

a day. Had.

27:50

He known of the crevice. He could

27:52

have closer with Iraq at the beginning. And.

27:54

The fish would have been is. Does.

27:58

He does. When. Crumpled up. Then

28:00

sank down upon the water. The

28:04

first, he cried softly to himself. Then.

28:06

He cried loudly to the pitiless desolation

28:09

that ring them around. Than

28:11

for a long time after he was shaken

28:13

by great songs. He

28:17

built the fire. been warned himself by

28:20

drinking courts of hot water. They.

28:22

Make camp on Iraq. He led in the

28:24

same fashion he had the night before. The.

28:28

Last thing you did was to see that

28:30

as matches were dry. And the wind

28:32

is watch. The. Blankets

28:34

were wearing clammy. His

28:37

ankle pas today. But.

28:40

He knew only that he was hungry. Been.

28:42

Through his restlessly. He

28:44

dreamed of feast and banquets and of food

28:46

served and spread and all. Imagine a boy.

28:51

He awoke children sick. There.

28:53

Was no sir. The. Grave,

28:56

earth and sky and begun

28:58

A supply of mass feel. This.

Was a signal for him to strap on his

took know he to the course he pursued.

30:00

So long as that course led him through

the watery must gag berries. And.

30:09

Went by feel as he pulled up the rush
