Here the Indians had fastened a hand-rope which each was glad enough to clutch as he wormed his way along to safer ground.

"Now take it slow and be sure of one foot before you move the next," said Foster Portney, warning them again. "Dig as deeply into the ice and snow as you can. And abo... Views: 241
