FIHEEN YEARS
II THE WILDS
<>u t:ie train from Whltehorse !
-t uifht there was a woman with I
• • sin;. 11 children—all glrlfl—the
eldest ot whom is not apparently
iu>re than 12 years of age anil the!
youngest probably 4, whose life'
• >r the past 15 years has been passed
in the wilds of Southern Yukon,
where she and her husband have
had born to them 9 children—4
toys and 5 girls—7 ot whom are
-till living.
In l^i'i' Mrs. E. C. Breaden, for!
ihat is the name of this hardy
>>rthlaud pioneer, in company with
her husband, who a: various times
i bee i Dominion telegraph opera
tor, steamboat man and miner,
-- 1 through Skagway enroute to
it teira incognito of solitude and
■' and magnificent distances
« ii-h stretches from the southern
• ud ot' Lake Bennett north to the
shores if the Arctic ocean.
They took up their abode on the I
fig Salmon river and in all the i
> that have since passed Mrs.;
>:i h;is wandered no further;
ler home than to traverse the
>rt distance between there and
rt Selkirk, on the Yukon river |
i ne.ir the mouta of the Pelly.
ere all of her children first
te light of day and there two
"i:i f.raves that are flecked with
gold
Where the mighty Yukon rolls.
Are sleeping in the Klondike
rale tonight."
The ; rrival in Whltehorse the
er il y was a revelation to these
''!e girls who had never seen a
ro;<j train nor but few of the
dern appliances, and what we
consider the necessities, of civiliza
tion. When they get outside to
the city of Vancouver, B. C., where
their mother Is taking them to
place them in school, it is hard
to predict to what lengths their
amazement will reach at the many
wonderful things they will see.
Although, as was to be expected,
Mrs. Breaden has encountered many
hardships during her long and un
interrupted residence in the North,
she loves the land of her adoption
and is sorry to leave it to re-enter
a world to which she has become
almost a stranger. God willing,
she expects, however, to return
some day and resume her life where
she is now leaving off.
Her two sons are still on the In
side, oue of them, the eldest, hav
in„ attained to almost the stature
of manhood, although but a boy in
years.
Mrs. Breaden and her five little
girls, Audrey, Eileen, Hazel, Ger
trude and JRena will sail south on
the Princess Sophia tomorrow night.
