Lives Almost Lost.

On the return trip of DR.. Leith
and his party it was found i'm
possible to obtain a boat and the
canoes were not able to live in the
rough waters of the Hudson bay. DIR.
Leith and his brother decided to make
the Journey overland to the next
post. When about half way they
came to an impossible stream and in
attempting to wade and swim across
Dr. Leith lost his pack with all his
money and clothing. The weather
was cold and they almost persisted
but managed to get back to the post
and afterwards completed the trip
successfully.
On one occasion their boat was
rocked and their implements, food
supplies and other property were
placed on three posts to keep them
away from wild animals. Strange to
sly the pack that went into Hudson
bay was recovered with all the money,
and the property on the posts was
found by the Indians the next year
and returned. After weeks of priva-
ton, after travelling long distances on
foot and after their friends had given
them up for lost they returned to civil
Iization. 1t was a thrilling narrative
and held the filled pavilion in rapt
attention. Many Prairie du Sac
friends came for the address.
A vote of thanks was rendered the
speaker and the people of Prairie du
Sac for their assistance in making the
day a success.
