for aid.

"Say, this is tough!" exclaimed Andy, as he reached the spot. "What can
we do to help him?"

"We've got to pry up that tree somehow," answered Jack.

"Come on; let us see if we can't lift it!" exclaimed Randy, and took
hold of one of the numerous branches.

The others did the same, and all pulled upon the tree with their utmost
strength. Yet, it was too heavy for them and could scarcely be budged.

"We've got to get some kind of pry and pry it up," announced Jack. "I
wish we had brought a hatchet along. I meant to bring one, so that we
could make firewood, but I forgot it."

"Help me! Help me!" moaned the man. "Don't leave me here pinned down
like this;" and then he seemed to faint.

Alarmed by the condition of the sufferer, the boys ran around the spot
looking for something which might aid them in releasing the man. They
found several flat stones, and then discovered a sapling which they
succeeded in pulling up by the roots. Piling up the flat stones close to
the fallen tree, they placed the sapling upon them, using it as a lever,
and by this means Jack and the twins managed to raise the fallen pine
just high enough to allow Fred to haul the hurt man from under it. Then
they let the pine slip back to its original position.

"Looks to me as if he might have his two legs broken, and maybe his
arm," announced Jack, after they had placed the man on his back with his
head raised on some pine boughs stripped from the trees. The sufferer's
eyes were closed, and he breathed heavily.

"We ought to get a doctor for him just as soon as possible," said Randy.
"But where to go for one, excepting back to Haven Point, I don't know."

While the young hunters were wondering what they had better do, the man
slowly opened his eyes and gave a gasp.

"Help me! Please help me!" he cried feebly.

"Don't excite yourself, you're all right now," answered Jack kindly.
"Take it easy. We'll do what we can for you."

The man had closed his eyes again, but now he opened them and tried to
look around him.

"You got me clear of the fallen tree, did you?" he murmured. "Good! I
was afraid I'd have to stay there until I froze to death."

"How about it? Can you use your left arm?" questioned Jack.

"I don't know. I guess so," answered the man, and then tried to raise
the arm in question. He held it up for a few seconds, but then let it
drop heavily by his side.

"It's pretty well lamed I reckon," he said. "You see, I had it
