THE location of our properties is

the international line, and operate the
mines on both sides from the same

Darkness found them staggering on,

farther, and Bait. who had once made
the trip. took his place. while the 9TH
ers dragged the poor creature along at
the cost of their precious strength.
They had long since lost all track OF
time and place. trusting blindly to a
downward course. The hurricane
still harried them with undated fury,
when all at once they came to another
bluff where the ground fell away
abruptly Without waiting to inyesti-

Of the rushing wind above.
1t was well nigh an hour before Bait
and Emerson succeeded in starting
fire, for 1t was desperate work cropping
for dry branches. and they themselves
were on the verge of collapse before
the timid blaze finally showed the
two more unfortunate ones huddled to-
gether.
Cherry had given Emerson a flask
of LIQUOR before starting. and this he
now divided between Fraser and the
guide, having wisely refused it to
them until shelter was secured. Then
he melted snow in Bats tin cup and
poured pints of hot water into the pair
until the adventurer began to rally.

The day was well spent when they
struggled into Katmai and plodded up
to a half rotted log store. A globular
quarter breed Russian trader took them
in and administered to their most cry

AS soon as Emerson was able to
talk he inquired concerning the mail
