Sergeant Harper started in pursuit oy Nov. 4, taking with him Con- "stable Stev mand a packer, Rich- ard Harringtop. They had a pack train and three saddle horses and a menth's provisions. After traveling for a week .they found it decessary to cache most of the provisions owing to the diflicul- Hal€ the pack train was left behind at this point, and the party began the ascent of Nose mcvntain, "which is about 2,000 feet hirh" and "is'very steep and difficult owing to smow, especially the last 560 feet. .

Horses could not follow this trail, 80 the party turned back "to the Porcupine flats and hit into the Smoky river over the Jaspar trail, which went over Porcupine moun- tain." Following this trail the pa- trol lost a pack horse "that tumbled off a cut bank in the mountains." They packed their saddle horses and walked. Pwo days later they ran out of all food except tea and sugar. They "had picked up a half-breed, who told of having a cacite of moose meat on the Porcupine. a How to Make Better Cough Syrup than You Can Buy A Family Supply, Saving #2 and Fully Guaranteed.

There was feed for the exhausted horses here, and Helper decided to leave them behind with Constable Stevenson. Going on for two more dys, the officer and packer crossed the Smoky river three times oh foot and reached Grand (Cache. 'The water took as about the waist, and then froze our clothes, and we 'were all in when we got there." Here there was fresh news of the fugitive. Con- stable Stevenson was sent for, and the party pushed on for the Muddy river on foot. - Found Girl Cooking Then they sighted the smoke -of Hunting's camp-fire. © Harper ap- proached through the bush and found 'the girl cooking in a tepee built of poles and spruce boughs. Hunting was visiting his traps. He was arrested on his return, and thed lung return journey began. Hunt- ing and the girl had lived on rabbits caught by the girl in snares. Traveling back to Nose Mountain, the party again ran out of feed for the horses and almost out of food for themselves. The horses were dlmost exhausted.

After three days of this they arrived at their cache and met a party sent in search of theny which had arrived only a few minutes before. 'Harper says in - his report: "I should like to note the loyal support given me by Constables Stevenson and Harrington, as there were times on the trip when things looked black."
