As progress by boat was now imprac- ticable, we were forced to send back to have our horses brought overland. In the meantime the oxen pulled for- ward. Their party had been recruited on the way by parties who had run shert of provisions, and went along with the oxen for a “grubstake.” Their objective point was now Sylvesters Landing on the Dease River, a distance as it has since proved, of 500 miles, the path lying through the newly christ- SKTE SAY THEM START OUT IN A RLINDING BLIZ % BQ? ened “Laurier Pass.” The trail was re- ported as not open, but this was now an old story, besides they were pre- pared to cut trail if necessary. ~We saw them as they stumbled their way down the hill and waded the oreek, stopping midstream to drink.

At Deadwood Lake we found their men wading in the ice cold marsh above their knees cutting the frost-bitten - grass, with which they hoped to keep their stock alive until spring. They were anxious to gather 100 tons, but were doubtful if they would get more than forty toas. Of the fifty oxen with which they started only twenty-eight were left, and some of their horses had died dur- ing the long march. At this point, which is the summit of the divide between the two rivers, the snow deeply and the winter is long and severe. The men had then secured several moose, so they will not lack for food, but the stock is entirely de- pendent on the grass which was put C000000000NO0UO0000000000000000C0O00000COD000000000000000 By Rev.
