invalid and some women were In the
party. The rest presumably able

’ of the Yukon that had to traveled, it
was well to provide against the possi
1 billty of accident, especially as the
telegraph stations below Nulato were

closed and the boat was out of cor
munication.
As was expected, the party has bet
found to be perfectly safe and tt

were prepared for emergencies at
there was no suffering. Such tr!|
are commonplace and only morbid
sensational could see in them occ
