Excerpt from The 'Adventurers of England' on Hudson Bay: A Chronicle of the Fur Trade in the North Behind at a sort of dog-trot came Won clothed in skirts and shawls made of red green blankets; papooses in moss bags their mothers' backs, their little heads wobb' under the fur flaps and capotes. Then, the dog teams sped from a trot to a ga with whoops and jingling of bells, tl Whipped past a long, low, t'oboggan-sha sleigh with the fastest dogs and the fi] robes - the equipage of the chief factor trader. Before the spectator could take any more of the scene, dogs and slei; runners and women, had swept inside gate.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The ''Adventurers of England'' on Hudson Bay: Large Print By Agnes C. Laut It was a yellowish sea under a sky blue as turquoise; and it may be that Hudson recalled sailor yarns of China's seas, lying yellow under skies blue as a robin's egg. At any rate he continued to steer south in spite of the old mate's mutterings. Men in unwilling service at a few shillings a month do not court death for the sake of glory. The shore line of rocks and pine turned westward. So did Hudson, sounding the ship's line as he crept forward one sail up, the others rattling against the bare masts in the autumn wind--doleful music to the thoughts of the coward crew. The shore line at the south end of Hudson Bay, as the world now knows, is cut sharply by a ridge of swampy land that shoals to muddy flats in what is known as Hannah Bay.
