OF SHOOTING AND FISHING 87 
road afterwards and had an exciting run for our 
train, arriving at Corinne just as the scheduled 
time for departing was reached. As there was no 
conveyance to meet the boat, we staggered off to the 
station under heavy loads, in the intense heat. In 
the distance we could see the sympathetic agent 
watching as we hurried along. When we came 
closer we noticed that he smiled, and when he told 
us not to hurry as the train was fifteen hours late, 
we were awfully pleased. The hotel arrangements 
at Corinne are not what one would wish, but this 
delay gave us an opportunity of seeing the points 
of interest in the town. Corinne had, long years 
before, been the distributing point for places in 
Idaho and Montana, and had had quite a popula- 
tion, but there is little left of its greatness. Dur- 
ing the evening, we learned that a freight train 
would come in about 1:00 a. M. so we obtained per- 
mission to travel by it to Ogden, and when it left 
we were passengers in its caboose. About 4:00 
A. M. the conductor awoke us, and three very sleepy 
individuals crawled out. He then pointed pleas- 
antly to a bright reflection in the sky a long way off, 
and said that it was caused by the lights of Ogden, 
but that freight trains did not go any nearer. We 
tossed for it, and as a result, S. had to go off and 
get a carriage while Bascom and myself slumbered 
by the track.
