VI. 



HAD but a bare speak- 

 ing acquaintance with 

 the grim silent moun- 

 taineer who was cook 

 to our party. Two days 

 after he had appeared 

 like an angel of heaven on our gloomy 

 path I had an opportunity of knowing 

 him better. I quote from my journal: 



Camp Jim, Shoshone Range, Septem- 

 ber 23 : They left me alone in camp to- 

 day. No, the cook was there.
