He should not have built the fire under the spruce tree. He
should have built it in the open. But it had been easier to
pull the twigs from the brush and drop them directly on the
fire. Now the tree under which he had done this carried a
weight of snow on its boughs No wind had blown for
weeks, and each bough was fully freighted. Each time he
had pulled on a twig he had communicated a slight
agitation to the tree-an imperceptible agitation, so far as
he was concerned, but an agitation sufficient to bring about
the disaster. High up in the tree one bough capsized its
load of snow. This fell on the boughs beneath, capsizing
them. This process continued, spreading out and involving
the whole tree. It grew like an avalanche, and it descended
without warning upon the man and the fire, and the fire was
blotted out!
