MORNING cam. I looked to the terrifyingTielghts above; I looked to
'the terrifying depths below. I wanted to curl up again in ray bag and
remain on the lede. I started ' out.' I intended to go down, but the
nearest tree . I could get to withtfuj breaking my neck was still higher ip.
From that I went to a still higher onei I seemgd to be developing moun

tain goat propensities,
The formation of the summit of the
ridge had long since convinced me of
the folly of attempting : to progress
along it. I had to get down somehow. I
struck a backward course and fotfnd
some brush which 1 could cling to in my
downward slide. Soon I struck an elk
trail down the steep slope and going
was easier. About half way down I was
startled by a reverberatioA that swept
down the river and echoed again from
cliff to cliff. . ,
; ; A G US SHOT '
A gunshot! The trail crew has com
menced to look for me, I thought. I
whipped out my revolver and fired two
thin, answering shots. I hastened down
the slope. . I reached the bottom and .the
ashes of my fire of the day before. I
would cook me a big breakfast, my
smoke would help the party looking for
me, and there I would wait until -they
came. I started a fire. Another rever
beration swept over the mountains. - This
time it had a suspicious -sound. It was
too big a volume for a gun. It must -be
thunder, although the clouds did not
seem heavy enough to produce this
natural phenomena. But 1 cooked my
breakfast. I would wait until 1 o'clock
for someone to come and then I would
do something. I cooked, I ate, I washed
my dishes, my watch hands, rolled
around, the embers of my fire dfcd down
and turned black as did my hopes. - I
packed up. X would go down the river,
back to my last camping place, to the
place I , had seen the last fresh blaze.
I plodded down the river. I was very
tired. The sky had clouded completely
over. A cold wind was sweeping down
the canyon. a ,

') It was Friday afternoon. I had seen
no human being since Monday morning.
I struck the bed of the river where it de
volved itself into a flat formation. I
headed a course to the north of that
which I had taken coming up the creek.
Then in the center" of the creek on a
gravel bar I found a camp. There was
h bough bed, there was a tin can in
" which corn had been not long since. The
camp and a homelike look. Here would I
Bt op. . There were no fresh blazes any
where around, it but someone had been
there. - It was only Z o'clock. I should
not linger. I should go on and hunt the
trail. But the camp held me. The' wind
blew colder, the clouds swept, lower, the
creek flowed with an ominous sound and
even as I looked across its cold, black
waters, a huge black bear emerged from
the opposite side and started down a big
'white log to the creek directly toward
me. 1 :I .watched it in astounded. Stupe
faction, wondering, how close It would
come to me, when, as It reached the
water's edge. It spied me , and changed
its course off into the bushes. i '
STIIANGE 80U5D8 '
Tea, the Olympics were wild that day.
I was extremely weary.- I started a fire
and tried to keep warm, ' but while , I
baked in front I shivered In the rear.
Strange Sounds produced by the wind
and the waterfalls swept up and down
. the canyon. There were shouts, ; there
were w ild songs, there was laughter and
shrieks that ended in groans. There
were sighs and moans, there were weird,
uncanny voices and vivil hallucinations
of all sorts. I grew more tired and cold,
and finally crawled into my bag, cover
ing lit over with the fresh boughs so
that I might be warm overhead as well
as comfortable beneath. I slept soundly
and did not even feel the rain that
beat down that night.
In the morning the sun was 'shining
and the world looked brighter. I cooked
a little of my -rapidly diminishing food
and crossed the creek. " After a while I
found the trail and succeeded in ; fol
lowing it without difficulty until after
It had again crossed the stream.
WET AND TIRED
The trass and bushes were extremely
wet that morning and in many places I
waded through them to my neck. My
. knees were extremely weak and I must
rest often. I munched sweet chocolate
almost continually. Then ; my ety trail
again grew dim. Suddenly out of the
dim: silences of the heavy forest came
a sound the sound of an ax striking
a tree. I listened. It came again and
again. Was It real or only another hal
lucination? Again and again rhytha.
. raically and regularly It came and- then
a crashing as of some heavy tree falling
" to earth. It must be" so. , I had never
heard .?- of ; animals felling ; trees. I
hastened toward the sound. The brush
t grew ever denser. V came to a deep ra
vine, into which I could see no trail.
'ever mind. li men were near I needed
,.o trail. . I ploughed through the bushes
'and swung myself down Into the ravine
-by their branches. At the bottom I
stopped. There was no ! trail leading
out on the other side, Why waste time
looking for one. : I fired two shots.
There was no-answer. The striking of

the ax against the tree continued una
bated. It; was as the gunshot of the
day before. I climbed up the opposite
bank. I would at least see what It was.
I waded and sweated through tangled
bushes toward the sound of the ax and
came to the edge of a precipice directly
over the river. I could see nothing but
a giant waterfall. . I again : fired two
shots. No response. Tls but some, tree
trunk lodged in the waterfall n a way
that It pounds against the rocks, was
the conclusion I reached. I followed
the river and came to a Jagged canyon
leading into It. I could find no way
to. cross. 1 I followed it up, fighting my
way every: step in the thick brush, but
there seemed no solution that way. Per
haps the ' ravine I crossed led gently
down to the creek and there would be
a passage ; way directly under the pre
cipice. I worked down the ravine until
It came to the dropping off place and
then had to climb painfully back up. I
was growing almost exhausted. Then
the sound j of the .ax suddenly ceased.
That was1 trange. .. Were it a log in
the waterfall, why would t cease? I
drew my revolver and again fired. A
pause and then through the air came
a shout. I, let out a regular war whoop
In answer. It was true then someone
was nearj But I waited before they
came. They had to eat their lunch
first and discuss what that sound was
they had heard ; had any of the boys
brought a! gHin or had someone hit a
rock. And the shout that I shouted
they mistook for aa echo of their own.
1 Finally they came three much be
whiskered f men stamping through the
bushes. Never was I so clad to see
human beings. One tok my pack the
ether two Tielped me through the brush
and down over the cliff, swlnsinir down
by the tree branches in the manner of
ur ancesters. They took me across the
river, up over another hill to the rad
of the trail where they were felling trees
and blasting rocks to make hiking easier

j Was I hungry? For the first Aav tfcw
had consumed all their lunch, the 10 of!

little chunk of beef left. The men went
back to work. II drank the tea, I ate
the beef. There was a pfece of suet left
I looked at the Just, saw ng one was
watching me and devoured the suet. I
felt better.; The men told me camn wan
two miles farther over a rood trail thv
had just completed. They would bring

gravel bed far below, where I had snent
f the night. ' I descended the onnosita Mt

V.as woife, wife of the foreman of the
trail crewi who had assumed the re
sponsibility of cooking for the 10 hungry
men while, they were putting the trail
inrougn. ? j ; ;
HESrAXD FOOD .
!That cook; tent was paradise to me
that afternoon, as I lounged on the bunk
and rested while smelling all the good
things that Mrs. Wolfe was cooking for
Mrs. Wolfe was a good cook. Twelve
loaves of bread she baked, and rak K
siaea all the" dehydrated vegetables one
could think of and meat. And when
evening came and the men returned from
work, how, they; did tall to ! And by no
means the least of the appetites In siae
was my own. j I ate until'' I was per
fectly happy, until the limpness went
out of my knees and the pep came back
inw my system. - ,
It was Saturday night, and the men
all shaved to show they hadn't forgot
ten howi even though they had been In
m wuaemess ror two months. They
talked that night of how the-v wantnl
to fbe out what they would do were they
in ; the city what show they ' would go
to.; or what dance, or how they would
work In the garden, or gather the fresh
fruit that their wives wrote them was
ripening in tne backyard.
TTo think." sighed one. "of all those
fresh vegetables and fruit I am miiwinr?
This money is all tin to me now. I want
to- back where I won't have to live on
dehydrated foods. I haven't seen ' my
wife for three, months, and It's the first
time we. have been separated since we
were married. If it wasn't for being

reputation for trail building i and, in
spite of the fact that an eapert who ex
amined the region last year. . said . it
would ; require at least two years to

completed In three months.
After fighting one's way through the
mountains and forests without a i trail,
one can appreciate the easyj pathway
prepared by the forest service workers.

OVER THE ICE
On Sunday morning after filling up'on
flapjacks and beefsteak. I left the trail
camp, accompanied by Tom Chisler, one
of the hardest workers at the camp, who
carried my pack several miles for me
over the hardest grades in the trail. Up
to the top Of the ridge we climbed to a
point where the trail winds over as sheet
of sloping glare ice, a single misstep
on which would start one hurling to
ward a wall of huge rocki several hun
dred feet below. We went pretty gin
gerly over this stretch of tfce trail. Ridge

either side spread the grand panorama

Below us roamed the elk herds and the

hawks. Hundreds of curious I eyes
watched us as we wended our way along

RANGER'S CRIES TXHEARD -
That night I camped on theshorb. of
Reflection Uake, - and was j sound asleep
when Ranger David Tartsuck came
through, shooting his gun and shouting.
His cries awoke the elk and the cougar
along ' both sides of the ; river, but did
not disturb me -in the least. ., Thus he
passed within a short distance ofj my
camp and went all the way A the trail
camp. . ' t ' . " - t '
The 'following; morning jl started! for
Kin ley lookout, where I! expected ,- to
communicate .with the outside
world) the
trail (was
reason, for my delay.. The
easily followed, but (about III
somehow got off the mai.n
trail and
followed t a side one down
into the
meadows adjacent to Three lalfces. In all
the meadows the Olymplo, trails cfoss,
there is difficulty picking up
the route
on the opposite side, since
there (are
instances,
' direction
no tracks and only Un rare
skes. "Take a jgeherall
across" had been my - instructions, and
this I did. I could not find any trail
leading out of these meadows, however.
I decended clear to erhree Lakes' pic
turesque lily-padded bodies of wateri set
in the greenest of : meadow grass. I At
one of these lakes lounged a huaetelk
Lwith enormous antlers., He looked csuri-
oysiy at me as I approached on the
OPAi
posite side. Finally he arose to his
and looked some mdre. f AA I walked
around one side of the lake, he walked
around the other. . keeping close to 1 the
water whichTeflected his image. More
than at any time during my) entire trip
I longed for my camera, rendered use
less from falling in the water. The ani
mal showed not the slightest i eigne1 of
fear, only curiosity and a little timidity.
AST ABANDONED CAMP f F ? j
The afternoon was advancing, so I
climbed the ridge : again and found j an
abandoned trail camp.' .. Herje I decided
to spend the night and reach the lock
out early In the morning. Black dauds
began rolling up over1! the mountains and
the ocean fogs began filling
up the
yons. I made; a fire and
cooked
ate tire Jast. of my nrpvisiohs. I would
breakfast at the lookout.
Fearlrik it
would rain, I looked; about
for shelter.
Instead of sleeping on top it the camp
bunk, I decided there waa Just -. room
enough beneath where I would be shel
tered from any raini ; It! was quite) an
art to jget my sleeping bag under the
bunk and still more" so to get myself all
adjusted within the bag undr the bunk.
I finally did, early In the evening, jbut
thinking to rest and be- traveling f by
daylight in the morning. My fire was
still - going. ; Then, Justr as ? was snug
gled up ready for sleep I, was disturbed
by a shout. I crawled about and freed
my head , and shoulders f rom; Its chrysalis
of coverings.." Ranger Hartsuck came
downp worn and haggard looking, swing
ing his gun. : It waa some little time
before I could realize the trouble that
had been taken In locating me.o Hei In
vited me to accompany ,him on to Jthe
lookout that night, but I told him I was
all comfortably fixed and -would meet
him there earlx in the morning. j
BA5GER TAKES JCHABGB '.
y Then the fearless forest! ranger be
came peremptory.". "I won't have you
alone in these wilds any longer," he de
clared. ,"Yeu'd probably get- to wander

Queen's basin, and then we never would
find you.- : -) . '.. i . ;

vln the morning we descended to the
Quinault river, the forest ranger, despite
his ' condition, insisting, upon carrying
the heavier pack. . On the opposite bank
of the river waited Mrs. Hartsuck and
the two children- with . an- automobile.
The- man who owns the canoe was not
at home. The canoe was padlocked. .
ACROSS QUINAULT RIVER
We stood on one bank -of the wide
river. The-family stood upon, the Oppo
site bank, the children yelling "Daddy."
and running frantically up and down the
beach. Then it was the ranger displayed
those qualities of supreme fortitude and.
endurance that are often so necessary in
the life of a forest ranger. .. He insisted
that he would.f ord the river -with me -on
his back, Jn addition to all the pack
which he'wascarryingi It was prepos

been wading-, rivers long enough to be
used to thepa -and that I would do my

when I had to travel in the clothes

the family yelled from the opposite bank.
The ranger had his way.; Ha hot "only
carried my. 120 pounds, my" huge pack,

Attention, Boy Scouts! '
The' privileges of Camp Brockway,
the week-end camp of Boy Scouts,
located on the Columbia River high
way, where it croses the Sandy river,
i .i
a distance of 15 miles from Port land,
are now open to' all Scouts whether
or not they are accompanied by their
Scoutmasters. Hitherto only Scouts
were privileged to go who were ac
companied by their Scoutmasters,"
but the absence of so many of the
latter from the city has. made a
chAige In plans necessary. J. A.
Read, a prominent Scoutmaster, who
devotes much of his time to the -work,
is at the camp every Saturday -afternoon
and Sunday to look after "
the boys. The only requirement for
camp privileges is previous regis
tration at the Scout headquarters, op
posite Central library. " tm
The camp, which comprises a 40 aero
track improved with a commodious club
house, was the gift a few years aco to
the Scouts, from William F. Ilpmati and
every year since an averace of 2iw)rt
Scoftts have shared its hospitality. Be
fore turning the property ove to (he
Scouts Mr. Lipman stipulated that it
was . to be called Camp Brockway, in
honor ot James K. Brockway, Portland's

has labored successfully in the Interests
of Portland's boyhood through the Scout
movement.
