The %usual method was to knock down ,their train carts and convert them 'into a raft, andreassemble on the "other side. Unfortunately they had picked up what they could get at iQu Appelle when the snow gave out, `which were only. abandoned iron- bound carts. They couldn't be used as rafts and the only timber available was green poplar. Rafts of these were built, but they failed of .buoy-' ancy so the good ship sank so low that the crew were submerged nearly to their armpits in a strong current. During their labors under these handicaps they would get swept down a half-mile below their objective on ' the opposite, shore and by the arm- strong method have to tow the barsre back and repeat the unwelcome sport. By this means it took four days to transfer, the outfit in the freezing swift current. On each up- tow the men had to drag themselves through quicksand, too. On the way back they managed the transfer in two days---' they had become current `strategists and lightened their -load They saw no birds or game of any sort in that territory.

The trainhad got -well along when he learned -the river `was in flood , and. they would have to make another crossing of the Qu Appelle. He set ` oil to direct the train. Alittle piec`e along, his horse tripped, fell and rolled over on him, nearly twisting one leg of, it seemed. However, , he got to the next Hudson's Bay post where he bought a buckboard and harness, borrowed some pillows to coax his injured limb to be quiet, and set off for the end of the railroad near the city now known as Brandon. In the distance he sighted a demo- crat. He thought" it might be rail- road officials, and drove toward it. He soon learned it contained Mr. Van Horne. ` I can't get out to talk, sorry to. say, _Mr. Van Horne, said Mr. Mo- berly, Pm crippled. u`r'....'..n- nn+ nu! {tn tall: tn vou_ .%ExplLo%its.~o~f Men Abound in Romance of Canada .9 1razlsl Deny, "1 In cuppxcu.
