They. the Indians, went too fast. They
had TO go fast, and they knew it, but
they promised 10 send rescue back if We

the love of life. With finger nails frozen
off, with toe nails frozen off; rubbing our
frozen faces with snow, we staggered on,
and by and by reached a shack. There

too great a proportion of the horse feed
