Late in 1910, the "BX" fulfilled a heroic role. The "Chilco" had been on its way up from Quesnel to Fort George in late November with Fort George's winter food supply when it met with an accident just above the Cottonwood Canyon and the food had to be transported back to Quesnel. When news of this reached Fort George, pioneers Al Johnson and Russell Peden snow-shoed down to Quesnel to petition Captain Browne to make one last run with the "BX" with the necessary supplies. By then ice had begun to form along the river, but Captain Browne consented and brought the "BX" to Fort George, without as much as a scratch on her paint.
