Films were taken of the entire trip
and these will have a run of about
six weeks with the Fox News ser

film representative.
At the top of the pass they were
met by an intense blast of wind
from the west against which it was
almost impossible to make Roadway
and they could only proceed by
short spurts against the storm until
the wind becaome less intense.
The breaking of the trail through
the timber down Lake creek was
one of the most exhaustive parts of
the trip, and but for the endurance
of Celeste Roal, the guide. who
broke the way most of the time,
the difficulty in reaching their
goal would have been much greater.
Abandon Heavy Equipment
The last day of the trip they
abandoned their tent and some OF
their other equipment in order to
make the best possible time to
N~ordquist's which they knew was
only a few miles distant. Much OF
the time they could not see any
landmarks but they followed along
the creek which they knew would
eventually bring them to safety il
they could but hold out.
Over the Lake creek district they
traversed the same territory which
was passed over by George Osten in
a, summer trip In 1924 and his rec
ignition of several familiar points
along the route assisted materially
in keeping the party headed in the
right direction.

took an accounting and found that,
since they were three days behind

running out Of food. They immed-

slices of bacon, a piece of cheese
and a cup of coffee for breakfast.
They ate a light lunch at noon and
at night they "flopped" without
any supper. That was easy to do

to eat.

her hunger by chewing them for
