This being at quite a high elevation we could see the foot as well as the top, of the great snow mountain, and had a general good view of the country.
This proved to be the easiest day's march we had experienced, and the women complained less than on any other night since our departure.

Their path had been comparatively smooth, and with the new moccasins their feet had been well protected, they had come through pretty nicely.

We told them they looked better, and if they would only keep up good courage they would succeed and come out all right to the land where there was plenty of bread and water, and when safely out, they might make good resolutions never to get in such a trap again.

Mrs.Bennett said such a trip could never be done over again, and but for the fact that Rogers and I had been over the road, and that she believed all we had said about it; she never would have had the courage to come thus far.

Now, for the children's sake, she wished to live, and would put forth any effort to come through all right.
The next day we had a long canon to go down, and in it passed the dead body of the beautiful white mare Rogers had taken such a fancy to.
