S. A. King, in case I should fail, and
telling him how I had tried so hard to help him. I was so glad to
see this letter, and remembered how he did speak of me this summer,
and was so always pleased of my work. And further, to see here
what he has written about me, even to his very last.
Then I knew his letter would help if the people would not believe
me in what I said.
They fixed Mr. Hubbard's body the best way they could and returned
to Mr. Wallace. Going up they found Mr. Wallace 1 mile above from
where we got the flour from, where Wallace and I parted. They came
on to his trail first. Then they followed him up. He has crossed
the river on the ice to the south shore, just near where they came
to him along the river, where some caribou had been going across.
He had a little fire, but was unable to make a start or to travel
any more. Allan Goudy says he right away gave Wallace some bread
and butter, and after he ate that he did want some more: "But we
would not give him more. We were afraid to give him too much, for
fear he would eat too much. He then got a hold of some raw salt
pork and was going to eat it raw, that we had just to take it from
him.
