Whanaver prospectors crossed he regaled them with horrible talea of tlm treadiery of tiie atream, ana the remorseleaa qnlokaaada whicb bad drawn to many man and moLsa to terrible deaths. In the night when ha ferried people ever he would caution tbem not to get too near the edge of the beat, as a fall overboard waa certain death. By letting the iSm tAd lan- tern go ont and making aiaw time be fre- quentiy impressed the passengers witb tbe idea that the sikeam waa half a ndle wide; For night tripe he oha|ged |6, bat if the wind was high and the weather bad be struck saognine prospectors for much larger anmi.

He went along in thia way for aeveral months, the men who rushed to the hills looking upon htm aa the benefaotor to hia race by this conquering of 'ao formidable an obstacle to'travel aa " Death'a Ford." Om day Charlie Stoddard, the promoter, ap- peared on the bank with a mule and leard- ed the flAtboat to cross. In the midst of the stresm, jnst when the ferryman was tolling how dangerous tbe place was, the inula grew restless and fell overboard. One leg caught on a lope and he got his head under water, and, uEabls to extricate him- self, was drowned.

We observed a sdl but could not attract their attention. We had ndther f jod nor water and began ta suffer awfully. Oi Thursday evening James MjDanald, who waa mor* thfaily dad than the rest and had been grad- nally growing weaker and wepiker trom hunger and expoaure, felt that he waa dy- ing, and looMngat the three oi us from the stem where he waa lying, add in a voise I shdl never forget, 'Good by 1 good by, matea I am dj^g." Theae were hia laat words. We kept his body, thinking the reat of us mirht yet beretoued. We kept en in. the di ee ion we thought the land lay, though every atroke was weaker than the last, and none knew at wliat moment one of aa would give up in despair. Oa Fdday, after James MoDjndd died, Angus McDonald said he was starving and thirsty, and that as he must have aometblog to eat and drink he was going VO PSIHK JIH's BL10D. He had no sooner uttered the worda than ha seized Us knife and out off dim's arm; sucking some of the blood and eating some of the flesh. Than looldn^ at me with his mouth smeared and with a piece of flesh in bis hand, he asked me if I would have some, remarki n g at the time that the blooi tasted like cream, I taated It, and at once apat it out, aaying if I waa to die witUn an hoar I would ndth- er eat the -flesh erdriak th» blood. In the dternoon Angus again turned to me and aaid:â€" ;*Iam going to out Jim's threat to get some mere blood.' I begged him net to do ao^ saying :â€" " Far God^i aake, whatever else yon do, don't cnt his throat. De wliat yon like, but don't do that." Li the morn- ing we foand he bal out the dead man's throat, and, not finding any blood there, bad dto out pieoaa of flesh nut of hia left thigh. His hunger and thirst not bdng then ap- peaaed, Anzna out another: pieoe of flesh eat of Jim'a right thigh and during.S ttnrday ATB SEVEKAL PIKCIS.' Mr. MoEMhem attempted to eat aoma, bnt oduld not. The tatto made hiin aick. On' Satardayntgit, "bavuig kept rowing, we met a quantity of drift ice aad we were tiion, I ahonid judge, sixty miles east aoutheaat of Guyen Island. By thia time Angua McDon* a d,tl notioed, waa beoomfaig crazy and going afttotry togetUmtolay down, he puked up an oar and atrueic me t#ice, bnt net hurt- ing ma much. Sometime afterward MoEa- ehemand myself lay dawn to sleep. At daylight we awoke, to find that Angus Mc- Dcndd had tilrewn dl the oars overboard.
