coming out of camp at Brassua Lake. Mr..
Allison left a friend, Mr.. Huntington, in
camp when he went out, with whom every
thing went well until he had the misfortune
to put his ankle ont of joint, This left him
in bad plight. He was on the shore of
Brassua Lake, miles from any human habi-
tation, and at place where no one was at all
likely to pass. By making great effort Mr..
Huntington pulled his ankle back into place
but he was then unable to step. He lay in
his camp until one week ago, when hunter
and guide, who was exploring around the
lake found Mr.. Huntington nearly ready to
give up all exertions to keep from starving
and freezing. He had 4 small amount of
food left, but he had broken up all his bench
| es and camp furniture for fuel The guide
relieved his wants and then went to Kineo
and obtained help and Mr.. Huntington was
hauled out to the above place on sled. Mr..
Huntington expects to recover in about six
weeks and he says that he shall then return
| to Brassua and go into camp again. He GER
| tainly has an unlimited amount of pluck
