31 CHAPTER IV.
SETTLED AND AT WORK.
The great flood of 1826 passed over, and the colonists at once returned to their farms on the Red River, and settled down to the regular routine of work. The real purpose of these papers can now be fairly entered upon, for it was only after this flood that the settlers were able to cease from the running fight for life and take up in some steady way the business of colonizing and the purpose of living. To write on the life they were to lead till the advent of... new conditions changed it, to write on this life as seen from the inner side, is to make an effort at reproducing on paper scenes long since van- ished, and no more to be reproduced in actuality on the globe. There is no spot left upon our continent, at least, where, for well-nigh half a 32 THE SELKIRK SETTLERS century, a colony could remain practically un- touched by the rest of the world, unvexed by its artificial troubles, and unspoiled by its mad racing after material greatness. Speaking to his class one day as to the way in which men find that some one has preceded them every- where, a keenly humorous professor, for illus- tration, said that, " thanks to the enterprise of the modern advertiser, the legends of the patent medicine man now haunted us in the deepest solitudes of nature;" and that is but one way of saying that in our time we cannot, if we would, isolate ourselves from a telephoning, telegraph- ing, railway and steamship travelling humanity.
