 "On the night previous to the day of the fatal slide. the young couple stopped for the night with Col, Sol Ripinsky, whose store was at the upper end of Dyea, where the trail began.
 "A large party left Dyea on the morning of April 2, 1898. The day, was clear and pleasant; pos sibly the warm sunshine started the avalanche. The bride was mounted in the side-saddle on the pinto pony and the groom walked beside her. They were among
