Dangers of Travelling by Sledge In
Siberia In Winter.
Travelling by sledge in Siberia in
winter has its perils, as the experience
of Mr.. Robert Z. Jefferson and his
friends goes to illustrate The incidents
is told in 9 Roughing It In Siberia -
We had chartered six sorry looking
horses to drag us on to the next stage.
It was night when we started The driy-
.er, maudlin drunk, had to be helped
to his seat. and we set Off along the
narrow roadway at the usual galIop,
which, however, soon dwindled into a
mere shuttle through the snow. We had
gone to sleep, and some hours after our
departure Gaskell woke me and said be
thought something was wrong.
81 The sledge was at stands.ill, and
our shouts to the yemshik brought no
response. Black darkness prevailed. I
bundled outof the sledge, so benumbed
that could scarcely move. felt along
the sledge, sinking to my knees in the
snow,
. TIE drivers perch was empty, and
{ just then stumbled over one Of the
horses, which was lying buried up to
its neck. 1t was clear that the driver
hi';i fallen from his seat, and that the
/ horses had wandered from the track.
The poor beasts were stuck fast, and a
closer inspection showed one of them
to be dead, literally frozen to death It
we would save ourselves from the same
fate, prompt action was necessary.
The other horses were nearly sue
cumbing. They lay fiat On their stom-
achs and nibbled at the snow We cut
the dead animal adrift, and, using the
spare rope as whips, we stood on either
side of the living and dashed them till
our arms ached. At length they moved.
and by pushing and pulling we got the
sledge turned. Then, step by step, with
much foundering and many falls, we
began to retrace our way.
All this in pitch darkness in raw,
cold wind and in momentary expecta-
tion of one or all of the horses dropping
dead -.~-7 r..
It was a terrible experience, but we
regained the road and finally reached
the. village.

judgment and tact Of General Otis, in
command Of the United States forces in
the Philip thequcstion whether our
