NSSho 1SOs A4So aSllSo oC4iiSooSi left Point Agassiz, where she teach es school, to walk to Thomas Bay. leisurely jaunt of few hours, both places being near Petersburg. She loitered in the words to pick and eat blueberries. The weather was warm. She removed her coat and laid it, together with two sandwiches she had brought with her, on the ground. She was lured from bush to bush by luscious fruit. Finally her appetite was appeased. She felt the chill of the declining day.
 ] My coat" she thought to her. self. And I must hasten along" Lest Her Bearings l She could not find the garment. She had lost her bearings. She hurried to get out of the woods before dark. But she was over taken by night. She entered a den where bear had passed the winter. The habitation was dry, her light pongee waist could not keep her from shivering from cold.
 Through the underbrush Of the woods and in rain, she tramped the next day.
 She walked the third day to no purpose and climbed ledge of rocks in an effort to peer about the forest and determine her sur roundings. Then night fell; she stayed in the lee of the rocks.
 Strength Wanes Fourth Day
 As the fourth day spent itself, her strength waned. In the late J afternoon, she heard rifle shots of searchers that had put out 1 from Petersburg, but she was too weak to go toward them or to make her shouts heard. She spent that night-her fourth in the woods-in the shelter of a large :, log. In the forenoon of the fifth day, l she was found there. Her irregu- l larly circuitous trail had been fol- lowed by her reseuers until they came near enough to her to hear her faint shout.
 Wet, hungry and almost exhaust ed, she was helped to Peters burg. She was restored completely after few days of rest and hearty meals
 Net Afraid Of Animals
 T never once was afraid of wild animals" she said Saturday night after disembarking from the steam ship Admiral Watson Evans, which had brought her from Petersburg to Juneau for a visit. T didn't see any. All the time was lost I felt sure that I either would be able to make my way out of the woods O. found by somebody. When I heard the rifle shots late in the afternoon of the fourth day, l was confident the searchers would reach me the next morning. q should not care to go through the experience ag-i. but I am not so sorry I had it"
