I . then rolled them up again in the robe, extinguished the fire, and set of after dark to the house, went into the store and ransacked every hole and corner, . -and at last found plenty of fish scat- ' tered alinut. I gathered, hid and Flung upon my hack as much as 1 could carry and returned again before ' dawn of day to my children. "They were nearly frozen and weak With hunger. I made a fire and iwarmed them, and then we shared the first food we had tasted for the last three days. Xoxt night I went back Benin and carried off another load; tout when these efforts were over,' I sank under the sense of my afflictions and was for three days unable to fnovo and without hope. 'On recovering a little, however, T Niparked all up. loaded my horse, and putting my children on top of the load. Ret out again on foot, leading the horse by the halter as before. In thi.4said and hopeless condition J travelled through deep snow among the woods, rocks, and rugged paths lor nine days, till I and the horse Could travel no more. y" r ' The Long Vigil i t'Here I selected a lonely spot at ' ; the foot of a rocky precipice in th- Blue mountains, intending there to fcass the remainder of the winter. I j killed my horse and hung up the flesh ' on a. tree for my winter food. I built a small hut with pine branches, long grass and- moss, and packed it all a round with snow to keeup us warn-,: and' this was r. difficult task, for I had no axe, but only a knife to cut wood. "In this solitary dwelling I passed "63 lonely days. I then left my hut and set out with my children to cross the mountains: but I became snow blind tho second day and had to re main three days without advancing a. step; and this was unfortunate, as our provisions were almost exhausted. Having recovered my sight a little, I . set nut again and got clear off the mountains and dawn to the plains on tho fifteenth day after leaving ray winter encampment; but for six days we had scarcely anything to eat, and ; for the last two days not a mouthful, i "Soon after we had reached the i, plains I perceived a smoke at. a dis l tance: but being unable to carry my children further, I wrapped them up' ft in my robe, left them concealed, andi I set out alone I nhopes of reaching the f. Indian camp, where I had seen the smoke; but I was so weak that I could hardly crawl and had to sleep on the, way. Next day at noon I got to camp. It proved to be the Walla Wallas, and I was kindly treated by them. Im- Led Caldwell Riding Long Tom.

The following fragmentary account of the Uorion story is given by Gab riel Franchere, a French Canadian, who was a clerk- of the expedition which John Jacob Astor sent to the Columbia. It is reprinted from his, "Narrative of a Voyage to the North west Coast of America."
