over Tho holes the ice sagged, the water
spoutiug up to the body of the ma

To add TO the peril, the front wheels
began to skid 1t was impossible TO

would mean death. so giving his Cadll'
lac more gas Hopkins took the only
chance left and the sinking car finally
spilrted over in safety.
There were many other dangerous
spots and in some places II was neces-
sary to almost hurdle pack ice. In
doing so the ear nearly turned turtle.
On the return trip Hopkins was en-.
abled TO avoid most of these perils by
taking the other side Of che river.
