tor Virgil Lowry and John Bevins of

two men were en- route from Dawson
to the Koyukuk diggings. They left
Dawson October 10. The fifth day
after being lost their food became ex-
hausted. The men were in desper-
ate straits. They had no gun with
which to shoot game, and not living
soul nor a place of refuge was known
to be within hundreds of miles.
In their desperation they could not
parley over the proprieties of nicely.
Lowry's faithful dog. his companion
for three years, was the only available
source of food. The dog was killed
and eaten. But the flesh from the
animal did not last long. The two
enervated men travelled two days more
without mouthful of food, when
they came upon young porcupine.
This they ran down and dubbed to
death and devoured partly roasted.
Twenty days after they had started
out the men wandered into wood
choppers camp on the Yukon, almost
dead. After few days they were
nourished sufficiently to travel.

four acres OF beets, but this patch
has been nearly destroyed by the

lost their entire crops through the

practically financial wrecks.
