I)During many years of out-door life of toil, watchfulness and peril, the mountain trapper had acquired the habit, like the Indians, that when he had a
journey to perform, or was going onl express business, he would take a dog-trot, and travel all day ili
that gate.
On this occasion, the six escaping from a deadly
enemy for life, ran all night, and found no water for
seventy miles —when, ultimately, they came to a clear
mountain stream, their thankfulness equalled their
necessity-" for," says Anderson, "thirst is the greatest suffering I ever experienced. It is far wvorse
than hunger or pain."
They remained here, rested and renewed their ex
hausted energies, and went on without hindrance,
until they arrived at camp, in that beautiful spot iil
the Rocky Mountains, now called South Par,k;;nd
here we leave them, glad to know that, after their remarkable escape with their lives and hardships, the)are safely in this agreeably romantic spot in the
mountains.
