trip lo t'.e headwaters of the
razlina, where they went to re
ro- r the body of Fred Greenough
and bring it to Valdez or to -give

tiny ui:ido Into that country last
fall, crossing the Shoup glacier,
iSvonding the high divides which
t'.parate the Tazlina glacier from
t'u Shoup glacier and then cross
ing it to tho foot, continuing three
aiii< 3 below to where the last
mi) of Greenough was found.
Investigation showed that the
pre* nit ions taken by Lightenberg
to prevent wild animals from mol
e ting tho body had been success
ful and still buried under brush
and logs in the snow the body was
recovered and buried on a bluff
overlooking the Tazlina river and
l i«e and marked with a rude cross,
upon which were cut the name, of
the dead man and his age and the
date of his death.
.No effort was made to bring the
boity'to tiie coast, as the conditions
en the glacier were bad, some of
tiie crevasses having opened and
il e snow was soft. It required five
to make the trip iti but com
i' our th" two mushers waited for
a crust and pushed across in IS
hours from the camp on the Tazlina
to the camp on Shoup glacier.
I pon the return of the two men
to town they were presented with
a puree made up during their ab
sent*® by business men, who wish
ed to defray the expense of the
outfit and contribute something
to...nds the hard work done by the
>"o n.ir.ers.
The watch and nugget, chain
it iu;d on the body of Greenough
was brought to town and turned
over to L". s. Commissioner George

lake after an illnoss of 20 days
and .u ttie time of his death he
: .id his p-irtuer were almost out of
;> revisions. First waiting to protect
tiio body of his dead partner from
- lis lis, Lightenberg then started
inr the coast, which he reached
after a trip lasting 23 days. Fac
ing bli.:z; :d after blizzard, exhaust
ed, Marly frozen and almost starv
ed to death, he staggered along,
linally reaching the camp of some
