known hunter and miner, nearly came

superhuman efforts managed to reach
civilization before collapsing, and
after days rest at Atlin is now quite
well Mr.. Sen undertook to drive
some cattle over the two-mile port
age to Atlin Lake On arriving at
Scotia Bay, Atlin Lake, the cattle had
a run in the water and'on coming out
stampeded and took to the woods,
with Sen in pursuit. He tracked them
until dark, when he found that he was
lost without a rife or food of any
description. For four days he drag
ged out an existence on unripe ber-
ries, and on the third day caught a
moose calf, but was too weak to hold
It. By pure luck he wandered in the
night direction and was picked up
