hour, despite the frequent firing Of his rife
Frost's companion was unable to locate him
Working his way back to Fifth Pond, the
companion rowed across and, hurrying to
Benson Mines, gave the alarm.

town were rather difident about joining
in q search for Frost until it was firmly
established that he had lost his way. the
impression being that he was playing a
Joke on his companion and would appear

and a half, when they oame upon the object
OF their search. Seated against tree they
found young Frost, holding q bottle OF
huckleberries In ono hand, while in the
other was bottle OF water. His gun lay
at his feet. Frost greeted his Indian res
cuers with expressions Of gratitude, and
made known his desire to start for camp, a
distance Of nine miles. Despite the suf-
ferings which subsistence for six days

water entailed, Frost appeared in a COM
paratively good state Of health, and kept
up with his resouers as they retrsoed their
steps toward Benson Mines, where they
