Our present skelcli will embody a true an

ccr, by the name of Carrafol, who in tin
winter of 1812, wis buried alone, under a
frightful snow storm, and nearly pciish

in cmnanv with a body of hunters, who
were only venturing out for a few days.
seeking to mako what is tcrmcd'a surround,
This may be understood, il is presumed
without explanation. The burners, on finding
game spread themselves into a circlc& close
in upon the animals they wish to kill. After
nday or two, a successful surround was made
meat obtained, and the whole company
encamped, upon a water course, known as
'Haw Hide Creek,' which glides from llu
Northern Hills, and rolls into the north
foik 01 the l'latte. Snow came down upon
them doling the night, with heavy and in
?r-ftTjug violence, so that it was found im
possible In move ramp in the morning, and
the hunters did not start for their return to
ihe Fort mini the next day.
Here Carrafel was left to pursue his deso.
f ato jiurnry alone; anil off he set, well sup
plied wuh Iresh meal, reaching L'cait qui
Court, or 'Running Water;' in lime lo
rook supper and cache him comfortably for
the night. The snnvr continued, beat
ing down every I hut faster and thicker,
find swelling now fivo feet deep far around
the solidary and trackless wilderness. The
poor fellow found it impossible to proceed.
and remained here two dayp, until, on the
third, finding ihe meat swiftly diminishing
nnii ihe storm growing worse, insiead of ex
liib'niug any indication of a change, he re
solved, desperately, to risk the uhauces;and
attempt to get forward. He was lucky
e otih to Mircrd in reaching a -water o mif e
called 'Hat Ureek,' the same day, the snow
heaiily and steadily increasing; and, start
ing ni'ain tjie next, morning, he finally grew
weak and sick, from long enduranro and
scant provisions, until he dropped in the
snow, anil buriowed for a resting place.
'The storm had now continued eight sue
tessive days, and Carrafel.afier a long sleep,
found strength the next day, lo gel up and
daringly push oti. Not a ihi ig had crossed
him siuce ha left too hunters, and his wild
eye how raved in vain around the white
waste, in seareh of some sign of game.
Another night in the snow, and Cairafcl
awoke in the morning with the liouible
pangs of frost bitten feel I
In this fiightfnl extremity, knowing the
necessity of rousing himself to the utmost,
lo escape ceitrin and speedy death, he fell
to nork beating himself furiously all ovet
the body with his rifle, and striking his
-tortured feet, too, until he roared and sctcaui
ed again in the bleak wild like a famished
dijena. This brave, determined and ex
Inordinary art of presence of mind, beyond
all ilouhl, saved Ihe life of poor Carrafel.as,
liad he j ieldeii to ihe pleasant stupor that
'had already eoinmenced stealing througl
'htm, soothing the sharp affliction in his feet
lie would, ineilibl , have sunk into his
last sleep in Ihe mow. Uul this enabled
tiimlo struggle forwaid still, as ho did,
staggering with weakness, ami half blind
with the perpetual glare of thenow. For a
few hours he sustained himself in motion in
lhi manner, falling repeatedly, and some
limes crawling, until the last moment ol
human endurance seemed to hav arrived
when he; foilunaiely, reached a spot favor
able for the construction of a little ahanl
of boughs, .which he soon contrived, am
ihef&lay 'for lluee days, quiie powerless,
and che-irrg llm-ereas" leather that he
wore which, with the snow around him
foimcd his only sustenance.
On the rooming of the (fourth 'day, as the
.miserable express messenger siill lay on his
back in his tittle shelter, his sinking spirit
was aroused by tie unlocked and goy.lold batihelor of.five and-forty, is plocinp
jui apparition ol au oiu, worn down bull;
wandering, (blind perhaps,) within a few
paces of tho hut. Carrafcl rolled to hissi'Jo
and his rifle was levelled over the surfaco of .

deadly aim thai tho starving, dying man.
pill upon the hupc bitile, and the gamo was
down on the spot, panting and melting the
snow with its hoi blood. Tho sight was
new life to Outrafel, who dragged himself
from his shitnly & rut into the flesh of the
hull ere ycl tho enormous head had ceased
to roll, the eyes lo glare, or tho limbs to
ramble. Raw! he tore, gnawed, and suck
ed the meat raw, unco ninro reviving his
Ureogth in some measure, with this savage
ustenanrn, but not sufticienily to enable
ilm to butcher the luiigh old bull, and, drag
ing wiih him only pari of a 'fleece,' lie
rgained the shanty, replenished his fire, re
loaded his rifle, and rolled, exhausted, into
Ins liulTilu robe.
Subsisting on this providential supply of
neat for three davi.thu poor mountaineer
ini strength In cis wl,and,after drying some
of the jeiked llesh, he turned and started
li'imeward; making a desperato effort to
reach the Furl. Struggling against his en
feebled and miserable condition, Carrafel
made two miles thai day, and fortunately,
w hen worn down to the last gasp; found a
pot of timber fit for encamping ir. Uut the
exert on had been too mucli for him, and the
next morning he was unable to rise. In
this state the wretched man remained forty
one. days; just managing to fire from his
bed upon such gamo as came near, and so
obtaining food. In the depth of winter:
throughout its most bitter portion, and in
the heart of iho willderness; an unhappy
invalid; prostrate and alone, foity-onu days
in the snow!
Ho once killed a bull so near him during
die night thit the leg ions of wolves immedi
ilely bese tting the carcmg;assailed himself;
so, and he only escaped destruction by
Living them oack file w'nh brands- In the
morning he was glad to serine the marrow
hones, and such meal from the mangled boll
s the voracious dogs of the praiiie had left
him, and drying the flesh, he once more
tempted his way to the Fort. He made
some distance, and reached a creek, which
rose upon him during the night. On the
flood he saw a drowned buffalo calf floating
town; but was too enfeebled to mako an
ffori in securing it: Hut in tho moinine
he eagerly followed the bank of ihe stream
ud had tl-c unhoped for lurk of findine
the calf lodged among drift' wood not fn
from where it had passed him. From ill in
most fortunate chance new supply of pro
vision fell into his hand, as if sent to the
poor staiveling from heaven, for at this time
he had but three rifle charges of ammuni
tion left!
Again, better fortune attended him as he
lowly and wearily made his way bark In
wards his friend, fur iwn elk crossed him,
nil, with two well managed shots, lie killed
them boih, leaving himself now, for the
rest of his deasnlale journey , to depend upon
what meal he could dry and drag with him,
and the last solitary charge in his rifle.
For nino days longer, he resolutely worked
onward, and the poor fellow was saved I
Or.o morning a sudden cry ran through
Fort Platte of 'a bcarl a bear!' and a half a
dozen hunters were out immediately;
making toward tho spot where, from the
walls of Ihe fort they had seen eome living
thing moving through ihe snow. It was
poor Carrafel! crawling feeble homeward
on his hands and knees, gasping with joy

Ono day longer, and iho unhappy wan

had crawled: literally dragged 'limsrlf.thr

orlurcd with the pangs of frozen feet, a
starving and debilitated body, and progress

o four miles a day. This is ono case of,per
haps, as keen prolonged suffering as was
ever known among rnonutains.
