stopped. Haler reminded him Of hi
family and urged him to try and holC
out for their sake. Reused by this ap
, peal TO his tenderest affections, the un
fortunate man moved forward, but
feebly, and soon began to fall behind.
On further appeal he promised 10
follow, and to oVertake them at eyen>

Haler, Scott, Hubbard, and Martin
now agreed that if any one of them
should give out, the others were not
to wait for him to die, but to push on,
and try and save themselves. Soon
this mOurnful covenant had to bekept.
But let me not anticipate events
Sufficient for each day is the sorrow
thereof.
AT night Kern's party encamped a
few hundred yards from Haler's, with
the intention, according to Taplin, to
remain where they were until the re-
lief should come, and in the mean
time to live upon those who had died, |
and upon the weaker one as they i
should die. With this party were
the three brothers Kearne, Captain
Cathcart, Mike, Andrews, Stopper
teldt, and Taplin. lido not know that

Ferguson and Beadle had remained
together behind. In the evening Rob.
rer came up and remained in Kerne's
party. Haler learnt afterwards from
some Of the party that Rohrer and
Andrews wandered of the next morn
ing and died. Theysay they saw their
bodies.
Haler's party continued on. After
a few hours Hubbard gave out. Ac-
cording to the agreement he was left
to die, but with such comfort as could
be given him. They built him a fire
and gathered him some wood, and then
left him. without turning their heads,
as Haler says, to look at him as they
went off. -
