 even by those experienced in outdoor
 life in Alaska were forcibly brought
 to mind this week by the story
 brought from Dikeman by Bob Cock
 burn, says the Iditarod Pioneer. That he story had no tragic sequel is iue to one of those f rtuitous cil
 cumstances that frequently occur in
 he rugged lives of the pr-spectors l md trappers of the North.

 for Dikeman with a load of furs, intending to return with provisions After being out some three or four lays he became confused and lost the trail. which is the one used

 around in the Reindeer range for
 several days. Running out If grub, he left his tent and sled and start l cd out III all attempt lO IcaSH Dih'-

 seven days when he was discovered nv Mir. Cockburn. who was out on a hunting expedition. When found he | vas almost exhausted, and was sui fering from frostbite. He was cared for by MT. Cockburn, who then went | 70 Bakers camp, some IA miles dis tant, and returned with the outfit. The following day Baker was so far
