everything was in readiness for
lite rotary and engine to push on
to* Mile 80, where the tirst rotary
and engine is stalled for the lack*
of fuel, lint scarcely had" tlie'
start been made before the draw
bar on the rotary broke. Several
hours were consumed in making
I In- necessary repairs and then
lite engine went olf the track. By
reason of the inclement weather
ami lack of facilities at hand most,
of the day was consumed in get
ling the eirgine back to her place.
I Hiring .the past 21 hours the
winds ha<e not been so bad. Af
ter the lir.*»l rotary is reached and
oil supplied it is expected that thei
worst will have been over and that [
il will then be only a day or two;
before Chitina is reaehed. After
llial a train will be dispatched to
