for a position ou some boat of the

feeling unwell decided to return to
that place, crossing the lake to the
mouth of the Takini with a dog
team. When he reached the Takini
he walked aboard the launch which
was to convey him to Whitehorso
without assistance, but shortly
afterward became delirious and re
mained iii that condition, except at
intervals, until his death. Shortly
before he died regained con
sciousness long enough to give his
attendants inormatiou as to his
family and birthplace.

will reach here sometime '.his even
