other did not appear I began to fear at once that something had happened to Green. To our great surprise Green appeared driving Ree-al-wah-to's sledge. He was pale and looked very much worn and tired. His first words were 'Mac, this is what is left of your Southern division!' I said 'Good God, Green is Ree-al-wah- to dead?' He then went on to tell me the story how they were caught in an awful blizzard 15 miles & down to coast. They made a dug out and crawled in. It was soon covered to a depth of 15 feet, homathis dogs, everything was buried. Ree-al-wah-to preferred to proceed south when it partly cleared and said he was going home. Green's dog's were never seen again. They were left under the snow as well as the sledge.
