Yukon Territoryt-he lower country We decided tothis on to toe foot of the mountainourselves to enable the dog driver toget to it more readily
The mountains were very steep wherewe were some rising almost perpendicular Time ravines were fllled with driftedsrow some to a depth that afterwardproved surprising It being so early inthe season thought there was littledanger of a snowslide So we pulledthe caribou to the mountain crest and
down the mountain side througha ravine
We watched the caribou until it reached the bottom Then thinking of nodanger we started on a camenear our last George was thefirst to start Sitting on his snowshoesne followed the trail of the cariboureached the bottom in safety I waiteduntil George was nearly down so asnot to run into him Thensnowshoes under me I followed thecourse of my companion I had gotnicely started when I saw George runohms for ne side of the As heran he said Ira we are gone Henearly made time edge of the slidewhen he was hurled Sown and passedfrom my sight almost instantly
At the same moment great seamsopened up above and below me and tonsand tops of snow broke away with aroar I never forget As it toredown the side with a forceirresistible carrying with it its two human occupants for passengers I expected moment to be my last and svennew I wonder what power me tokeep on top of that heaving tumblingma s of snow
Just before the slide stopped sometance to my left I saw George In hisstruggle for life extend arms abovetime snow so that I knew that he stilllived As the slide suddenly stopped Iclimbed over great cakes of snow thathad piled up near me anti made my wayas quickly as possible to where I lastsaw George As I did I saw him riseslowly to his feet
As he stood there bareheaded on thatcold day half exhausted and suffocatedwith his struggle between life and deathhis first words were Ira we are luckyto get out of this timing alive I neverexpected to see you again
Time will undoubtedly erase frommemory a good many of the adventuresI have experienced in this land of snowand ice But t am under the impressionthat it will be sonic time before I entirely forget the incident that came sonear being fatal on October 2S 1301
