mans yearning for food, says
one Of our exchanges Yet upon
mouse Edward Doull subsisted
for seven days while lost during
storm in the Carriboo noun
tains. During this week his suf-
ferings were terrible Not only
was he compelled to endure the
pangs OF hunger, but the anguish
of exposure to the intense cold
of the winter-clad mountains.
When found. DouIl was In a
pitiful coudition. His feet were
frozen badly and he was so weak
from continued exposure that he
could not have survived another
night. On November 21st Doull,
who is an employee of the Am
erican Placer company, left
Gray's to return over the Car
riboo mountains to the company's
ground on the northeast side of
the range. He proceeded rapid
ly and in safety until he reached
the summit of the mountain

gan Doull lost his way. When
the storm ended the snow had
changed the contour of the
mountains so that Doun was un-
able TO tell his Whereabouts

most stationary at Is degrees
below zero while Dou1 was wan
dering hopelessly among the
hills. On the third day he found
a deserted cabin and IN it he
captured a mouse, almost as
hungry and cold as himself. 1t
furnished the only meal Doull
had during his week of wander
ing. The head and toes he did
not eat, because, as he said, ne
feared the claws would scratch
him while being swallowed, and
the head might interfer with his
digestion. Afterward he regret
ted leaving these morsels behind.
On November 9th he was found
by James Sibbet, a citizen of
Gray's and taken TO the latter's
home, where for a time he lay In
a critical condition. He is now
beginning to slowly recover.
