The ship had lain becalmed in tronicaI

solved to wait no longer. He piped up all

to also come forward. Il must ask ali of

meal of yeal-which followed very
closely on the tirst-his plan was COM
plete. He thinks he devoted about "a
hours to refreshments. During that
time he kept the leg in wet bandages,
greatly reducing the swelling.
1t was work of time to cut down the
low-branched willow with his Jack
knife and 10 fashion cane from
the stoutest portion. From smaller
branches he made number of spIints.
and these he bound about the broken
leg by rawhide thongs cut from the
calfskin and well soaked in the pool
The contraction of the rawhide in dry
ing made very strong and rigid sup
port extending from the foot to the
knee, and upon this, with the helm of
the cane, he would walk. 1t was NOT
springing, it was slow and painful mo-
ton, but by contrast with the three
miles achieved in three DAYS on hands
and knees it seemed both rapid and |
easy. He covered the distance TO tbe
ranch in one day and night, coming
in just when the foreman was calling.
Roll out"
The first thing he asked, after the
boys had put him in bed and cut off the
rawhide, was for somebody to shave
him
He had hard enough time for several
weeks, but the doctor did not amputate
the leg as he at first threatened TO do
We never convinced this savboree
though we showed him the rawbide
5plint, of the fact that the man walked
II miles on broken leg.
