Covered Wagon Days
Even then we were not allowed to ride. Instead, we walked alongside at a safe distance, and I could see cracks in the ice radiating in all directions. By the time the last wagon came along, the ice was so weakened that it broke through just as it reached the edge, but the teams were on the bank and pulled it through.
即便冰层变厚了也不准我们坐车,我们只能跟在车旁步行,保持一段安全的距离.我看得见冰上的裂缝正向四方伸展.等到最后一辆车子走过,冰层已经十分脆弱,车子刚到达岸边,冰就轰然破裂,好在车队已在岸上,将它拉了上去.
