The old-timer on Sulphur Creek had told him about it the previous fall, and now he was appredating the advice. Already all sensation had gone
out of his feet. To build the fire he had been forced to remove his mittens, and the fingers had quickly gone numb. His pace of four miles an
hour had kept his heart pumping blood to the surface of his body and to all the extremities. But the instant he stopped, the action of the pump
eased down. The cold of space smote the unprotected tip of the planet, and he, being on that unprotected tip, received the full force of the blow.
The blood of his body recoiled before it The blood was alive, like the dog and like the dog it wanted to hide away and cover itself up from the
fearful cold. So long as he walked four miles an hour, he pumped that blood, willy-tilly, to the surface, but now it ebbed away and sank down
Into the recesses of his body. The extremities were the first to feel its absence. His wet feet froze the faster, and his exposed fingers numbed the
faster, though they had not yet begun to freeze. Nose and cheeks were already freezing while the skin of all his body chilled as it lost its blood.
