on their way to Dawson to see the
Indian doctor, but failing to make
connections, they spent the night
in this city, and the next morning
one of the men of the party was
detailed to go on to Dawson and
get treatment for the crowd, all
of whom were more or less ailing,
while the remainder of the party
returned to Ty Ty.
