Eveleth, Mimi, Nov. 6.-For three days and
two nights James w. and Edward Falk of this

OF Bowstring lake, and for most of that time
they fully expected they would never live thru
the experience. ... L. &4,= u .l.-l.,-, -.
I'VE never expected to come out of the swamp
alive, said James Falk. After few hours
of wearisome tramping thru cold water up to
our knees, we concluded that our fate had been
sealed No man who has not been lost in the
woods can realize the hopeless fear that takes
possession of the heart and deadens the brain
There we were with an immense swamp stretch

climbing tree and viewing the surrounding
country. 1t was dreary swamp. Our position
was hopeless The sky was, obscured by clouds

''My brother and I talked the matter over
and concluded that we must die in the swamp.
We had food, but we could not eat. There
was water on every hand, but we could not
drink. 1t was impossible to rest and useless
to travel, as we discovered in the first twenty
four hours that we were going in circle. For
myself, wondered If 1t were possible that
our bodies would ever be found and the mystery
OF our fate settled. In our frenzed condition

we were able to reach Bowstring lake. Never
before have experienced the fearful sensations
incident to being lost in the woods, particularly
in swamp. 1t is fearful, man is not him
