HAROSHlPS OF A LONG
TRIP IN THE NORTHWGST 7

Dawson, Yukon Territory, Dec. "a
How the standard bearers of the
church keep ever in the vanguard of
civilization, Drawing wilderness and
sea and Arctic night in the fight TO
plant the cross on the outposts of the
world, was given emphasis here today
by the return of Bishop l. o. Strin-
ger. Yukon diocese. Church OF Eng
land from Fort MACPHERSON at the
mouth Of the Mackenzie river
The bishop almost had been given
up for lost by his friends He and
Charles +. Johnson, a missionary,
left the fort September /, hoping To
cross TO the head of the Porcupine
river IN time to reach the Yukon river
last fall with a canoe. Their plans did
not develop as they had anticipated
and as a result they encountered
hardships as great as those told by
Arctic explorers. Each man lost 90
pounds in weight
Owing 10 frozen rivers they had to
walk back TO Fort MACPHERSON from
the head of the Bell river. They had
little food and were unpTepared in 9th
er ways for the trip. For % days they
walked in binding fog and storm and
by the cold. Their supplies finally
gave out altogether and for many
days the food was doled out at the
rate of a handful day, just enough
to keep energy alive Toward the last
of the terrible journey they were com"
PEELED to take of their moccasins and
'mucklocks" and eat them Each day
they were able to walk less and when
they stumbled into an Indian camp
they had almost given up.
AT The camp the friendly Indians
supplied them with rationS and they
started out again. They reached Fort
MACPHERSON in safety
Johnson remained here. After tho
rivers were frozen solid the bishop
with TWO Indians started out again for
Dawson and came through without
more than ordinary difficulty.
