We-cat dry logs along the bank, skid
them into the creek and foat them
down into the Yukon Our hay we
will have to pack down, as it will be
impossible to get boat up the creek.
1t will probably be four or five weeks
before we get back to Dawson. as the
other two boys are going up the creek
prospecting for week or ten days.

mouth of the creek and will be alone,

been working here this summer are
