"A see at all. It was yell, and lush and yell! I soon lost the trail and found my sledge repeatedly in bare ground where it took about all I had in me to move it.
At last I saw the two locomotives with dogs partly buried by the drifting snow but no drivers. As I came down over the banks there were four legs sticking out of two holes. The men were burrowing making a dug out. I crawled to help them and soon we had a cavity about 10 ft long and 4 ft wide.
We decided to have tea and get in our sleeping bags. I drove my team up to the door. One dog ran in and three jumped on top. The two did both came in on E side all that through the snow, annihilating the whole thing which we had been so fatuously building.
