covered with il. During the nigh, heard
one Of the ,ncn, WIN Ind got his feet wet
in attempting TO cross the river, imploring
some oi his companions to let him get into
the wagon with them. The night was ter
ribly cold. and ! feared that all our animals
would be frozen to death before mornings
Al length morning came; but when look.
ed out, the snow was drifting nlong in dense
clouds of hard, icy. particles, that few
along with extreme velocity. As the sun
began to appear, the storm censcd; and
il was most fortunate for Us that il did
cease. now forced my way out Of the

We now searched about and found the

Of the snow, caused by the movements Of
tho restless sIeepers. Covered by the
heavy mantle Of snow, they hsd kept ex.
iremely warm, and now tho chill air felt
