rain fell upon my face, and then I under
stood that a great thaw had set in and
was reducing the snow around me- II
was three days more, however, before
got daylight through the window and
could force my way out Of the door.
1t had been raining for three days and
nights, and the creek below me was a mad
torrent. The snow on the trail was yet
very deep, and was compelled to wait
two days more before l could get away.
Then the weather changed to colder. and
got down to Virginia City. II was
nearly n month later before we could get
at the bodies knew were under the snow.
The hermit had been caught in the edge
Of the rush and killed by being dashed
against the rocks. His body was carried
across the frozen creek to the edge of a
thicket. and such clothing as still clung
TO it was in shreds and tatters. They
had known of the avalanche both above
and below. and had given me up for lost.
As near rs the men could judge the snow

had any idea that the cabin had been
