During Monday night, when the blizzard was at Its height, they were compelled te shovel and plunge their way through snow drifts from six te ten leet deep, and the continual use of whip and goading sticks, was necessary te keep the exhausted animals walking. The elllcera say at times ihe blizzard actually hid the mules from view, but ler the animals' In stinct they would have been lrozen te death. Oiica they passed an Indian camp, but the savages retused thorn shelter, as thelr expe rience taught them that this would be fatal te them. The ambulance top was blown away.
