seem possible to descend that precipitous 
mountain side in the half-light remaining, 
let there was nothing to do but try; so, 
in desperation, 1 started on the descent, 
and it was the most terrible experience 
of my life. Once started I could not stop. 
The undergrowth was too shallow-rooted 
to support me and several times I found 
myself sliding down pell-mell, as it 
seemed to death, clutching at every bush 
and projection of rock as I passed in that 
wild descent. My hands were soon ter- 
ribly lascerated and I was constantly 
pelted by the stones I had dislodged in 
passing. 
Almost unnerved; with bleeding hands 
and bruised body, I finally came to where 
it was less precipitous and then to where 
trees were growing. After that it was 
safe going but was fast getting too dark 
to see. I soon found three fir trees grow- 
ing so close together that the space be- 
tween afforded secure footing and some 
shelter. Here I spent the second night 
and it required the exercise of consider- 
able will power to keep up the necessary 
exercise to prevent perishing from the 
cold rain that chilled me to the bone. 
As soon as it was light enough to see, 
the weary tramp was again resumed and 
about 8 o’clock I came to the spot where 
I had killed the elk. 
We had been nearly a month in the 
mountains and my shoes were in shreds, 
the last slide had finished them; when 
1 reached the elk, I was practically bare- 
footed. I decided the elk should furnish 
me a pair of boots: I cut the hind hoofs 
off at the pastern joint, and cutting around 
the leg above the lioch, or gambrel, peeled 
off two good boots, the hair inside; the 
curve of the gambrel making the heel; 
the hair enabled me to slip them on 
easily; the open end at the toe was drawn 
together and fastened back with a thong 
to prevent stubbing; I found I had as 
comfortable a boot as I had ever worn, 
for it soon adapted itself to the shape of 
my foot, and when it had become dry it 
retained its shape. 
With a glance to see that the head-skin 
was undisturbed, I ))ushed on and late in 
the afternoon reached camp which I 
found deserted. They were in the hills 
hunting for me. I had ceased to be 
hungry and had only one sensation — that 
of exhaustion. Crawling into bed I drew 
the blankets about me and went to sleep. 
At supper the boys awoke me. I took some 
food and went to sleep again. At break- 
fast I was again aroused, took some 
nourishment and returned to bed, sleep- 
ing unljl noon. After a bath in the hot 
sulphur spring, and a good dinner, I felt 
as good as new, except for the bruises and 
lacerated hands, although I had lost 
seventeen pounds in weight. 
The following morning, with Mr. D. C. 
Coyner, to help pack, we started back for 
the antlers, to secure which I had under- 
gone so much exposure. The head was 
found undisturbed. After a hasty lunch 
we started for camp, Coyner carrying the 
horns and I the cape. They made a heavy 
load and the steep mountain sides being 
covered with pine-needles, making the
