they started back with one sled. Green's feet were freezing so he could not ride. The dogs were going so fast he could not keep up with them. Twice P- tried to get away from him which would mean his death. He seized rifle from the sled and ordered P- to follow him. Looking back he saw he was not doing so but had turned to one side. He fired over his head first to warn him. He did not stop so Green shot him twice once in the body and once in the head splitting it open with a 22 H.P Savage. He carried body to uplo at Leafe Charles Hilliard and left it. It is there now lying on ground outside the door. We parked up at once as soon as we had fed him and started for home. We are now at the "Look-hoo- Jaro" about 12 miles down
