Our outfit co:elated of two horses and 5,0)0 lbs. ,; of p Trielons, there being six of an in the party, end we took six sleds, tbre sleds to th: horse. We took pomp by the ',teenier ambolt, t forSkagway, whete we seethed on he 23rd of March. On the,12 th we started o travel in the White Pass r il. The first eifficulty we had wee going th ough the caryon, it being about, two and.a half Miles 1 g and rocks in all forms. Ioounted abou 1 fifteen dead horses that had lost their foo ing and had to succumb. W arrived at :he - sum- mit, where we had t • atop over fie a day on account of the t rrible etorm. 4 It was the coldest day on th trip. 1 , We then proceeded on onr wa on the lakes. The trail was good till !we reached the White Horse rapi s, where' it took us about three hours to go a ( quart r of a mile. It was ve y da ,gerou . Two of us came very early1 goini under. After going over wha t ey- all La e Barge, we came to Thirty M le Riv r, w ioh was partly open for about three zii1ee. We had to peek our stuff ab ut th ee tnles over mountains in order to get to the ri er again where it was frozen. Then the rail was good for about 50 mil s, wh ri we f • und, to our sorrow, an open s ot again, nd that there was no other w y buti to sack our stuff abut a quarter f a ni1e, ading in water above our knee.. It as pre ty early in the morning, and reezin a li tle, and when we got through our pats a. d boots were frozen so we ha to build a fire to thaw them before we could get hem o Boys, it was no fun ! After this we had a gond trail till ve reached a creek calle Little Salmo i , whe e we came to another o en spot, wheh w s 12 feet wide and 3 fe t deep, and w: had o get into the water an. lift our sleds one t a time, acrossitbe et earn, nd thin ta e our horses around th bank I of th: rivek', atter which w had fifteen minutes ecess o fine all the w y thro gh, but the . un w s I change again.

However, that was t e last we tried in that way, simply because we were all buried up- side down when we ot to the botto. .
