ing. Tlio Mr. Walker is an old

that he has never experienced
such storms before in Alaska
j as iie and McLellan uncounted
on the Rohen Glacier on their
way in to Ghisana. Not only a
raging blizzard did they have to
contend with but a heavy fog be
sides, which made travelling im
possible and dangerous, so dig
ging a hole in the snow t' ey
laid down in it for forty hours
when the storm cleared and
they were able to continue on
in. Li only a few more Govern
ment officials would travel these
glacier trails, and under the
same conditions as Mr. Walker
did.an appropriation would soon
be authorized, even if it was on
ly for staking the trails out
over the crevices on these glac
iers for winter travel.
