I held my men to Work as long as 1 dated. hoping to complete the traverse of the stream I Was survey- ing ; but. one night, when the thermom‘ eter stood at. twenty-five degrees below zero. it became clear that there was nothing for It but to start for the main line next. morning 3n order to get. food. This might. perhaps be found at. ALONE IN THE WOODS. sash and my Hudson Bay coat for an unfrozen surface to strike on, whilst the man stood by as if waiting for an execu- tion. W'hen the tiny flame blazed, they thrust bits of birch bark to it so eagerly that it Was almost put out. But one paper-like bit caught. and immediately the whole heap of birch bark was flam- ing, while we all broke out 12:10 snows or RELIEF. Well might we, for it was not impossible that we should all have perished had we been unlucky with that match, Early next morning I ordered the men to set out for the nearest cache on the main trail. It Was between ten and fifteen miles from where we stood. If thev round provwion there tley were to re- turn at once. Otherwise, they were to push on to my transit-man’s camp. I would wait t'ur them till the following day at noon, and it they failed to return would follow as best I might. That day 1 was engaged in keeping up my fire and writing up my notes. Though the men had not returned at night, I felt no great anxiety. The food they had left would last me for three days. It was true that I had no matches, but the weather had moderated.

With a. pole to steady me I ad- Vuuced. with my heart in my mouth, to the narrow space of frozen foam. It seemed houeycombed, but hard. The roar of the water just below me scared me, and the Sight of the chasm below the falls made me giddy. I felt my feet crushing the foamy mass; but 1 dared not My only hope was in gomg genuy, uuu submitting it to no such shock as I should give it by a jump. Then all was suddenly overâ€"the perilous place was passed in a few secondsâ€"I was safe! Now it seemed almost childish to have left that message on the tree. I would have given a. good deal to be able to blot it out, but cross again? No l Probably the penciling remains there unread to this day. In adjusting my snowshoe strings for the rest of my journey I missed my knife, but soou remembered thatI had put it in my satchel after luncheon. Turning out the contents of the satchel I found not only the knife, but t\Vo matches. I fairly screamed With joy. Now I could rest instead of tramping all night around some tree to keep myself warm. After a frugal sup- per I did rest well before a great fire of branches that I wrested from dead and living trees. To keep the tire smolder- ing till morning I hacked down a birch with my tomahawk, cut it into three long lengths and “niggered” these each into two by turning them on the Cords. Then I put them all on the tire and lay down. On awakening I found three inches of new snow on my blankets. But last night's embers still smoldered, and I soon Agam I breakfasned alone, and resum- ed my loudly way over fallen timber, hills and rocks. About eleven o’clock that morning I came to what looked like a river about fifty yards wide. When I had nearly crossed it the ice became "glare.” The water had apparently risen here over the first ice formed, and then run along the bank till it swept away the snow, had then been re-covered with ice. and had finally receded, leaving a slmll of ice. Here and there a. snug pro- LI uuct I. I did not think from appearance that“ there was deeu water under the shell“ and near It. Dutas 1 advanced 1 Rep» poking cautiously with my pole. When I was not more than five yards from shore my right snowshoe broke bodily throug- as if a great bubble or mere scale of ice had been just there. I had time to throw my weight on the other foot, but there I was stuck. My right snowshoe had turned and was held under the Ice. I tned every conceiv- able plan for extracting it, and all in vain. I dare not try to kick my foot loose from the snowshoe, for if I lost it in the current I could not travel further. 1 dated not lean back to loosen the strings, and so haul OR the shoe, for thus I Lruued on the left foot, amt plump uuwu through the hole.
