Most adventures that explorers rne<?t with result from a lack of fore- thought. In hia book, "Trailing and Camping in Alaska," Mr. A. M. Powell, a government surveyor, tells how one of his party very likely Mr. Powell hims-elf-was led into a most hazardous predicament. We landed on a grassy nook at the foot of a precipitous mountain spur. After supper, one of the trio tried to climb a ledge of white spar \hat could be plainly seen from the can:p. After'an hour's hard work, ho reached the place, but it proved disappointing. He then saw that he could m>t d-escond without eyes in his toes. If he- could ascend a few hundred feet, he might lower himself down a draw by the help of scattering alder bnish. He pent another hour in getting to that place, only to discover a precipice in the path he had expected to de- scend. There was another chanoe left ; he might climb to the top of the spur, far above. No living man oould have clung to the face of that precipice a minute if it had not been for the moss that was rooted in the small crevices. He continued climbing until about ten o'clock, when he paused to look down on the camp-fire and rested on tho edge, while the other half hung in space without a foot- hold. It seemed impossible to mov from that^ position until he saw uji alder stem, an inch in diameter, that had grown on the little flat bench apparently for the purpose) of! giving help on this occasion. Hei tried its strenftth. It enabled him; to pull himself up ftnd lie on the. narrow bed of moss, where he thought of childhood days, friends far away, and his own folly. There was but one way out, and that was along a six-inch shell about ono hundred feet to the west- ward that endixl on the sloping ridge. Along this a man could edge his bo<ly by holding on to the jag- ged places in the rock wall. He off his shoes and set off .the water, more than a thousand ome way the soil is most benefici- , f eet below him. He felt a sickness illy affected by it.
