Hunting American Big Game 



A nasty time getting down the mountain. 



and fell down a gap in the crown rock. 

 We could not get the other down, so I took 

 charge of my horse and skins, and made the 

 rest of the descent in safety, though it 

 looked squally for a bit when the old ras- 

 cal's feet slid out from under him, knock- 

 ing me down in the snow, and he on top; 

 and I could feel that even with the fleecy 

 covering the rocks were still very hard.
