Another time when a gang advancing horses
In individual bargcs as was often done an odd thing
happened. The barges were craft that would hold
one horse only. The animal would he forced into
it, made fast and then the gang would take hold
sometimes To the number of thirty hauSer. and
haul the beast not only against ten mile currents but
through shadows choked with Ice and Slush, through
dense mud and stretches OF sand with very
little water it.
Two big brothers from Seattle longs oremen they
had been, in this gang, and when the horse
they hauling partly broke loose The elder of
the two made his way out TO the barge TO read]ust
the GaStenngS 1t touched the tip 4 sandy
spot The horse In his struggles dealt the man a kick
with his fore leg that stretched him unconscious in
Il precariousy balanced position across the bow OF
the barge,
Now the barge swung out where at any moment the
horse might dislodgc the and drop him 10 his
death, Shouting to the other To haul for all they

barge he still had strength enough TO deal the horse
blow that took all the fight and struggle out of It,
and then raising his brother to safety he stuck to the
barge until it drawn through to safety.
