Wm, Sargent tell me that a man having charge of the Middle 
Dam camp found three Loans alive in the ice on Richardson Lake 
about the 1st. of January. They seemed to be in perfectly healthy 
condition but were easily caught for they could not rise from the 
ice although they "flopped" along over its surface nearly as fafct 
as tile men could run. He put two of them in a space of open water 
just above the dam where they passed the greater part of the winter 
but both finally disappeared. The third bird fought so savagely 
that it had to be killed.
