When we reached the Post we learned that Minnetaki and two sledges had gone to Kenegami House and at once concluded that those snow-shoe trails were made by Kenegami people sent out to meet her.

But they were not! They were made by Woongas! "One of the guides, who escaped with a severe wound, brought the news to us last night, and the doctor at the Post says that his hurt is fatal and that he will not live another day.

Everything depends on you.

You and the dying guide are the only two who know where to find the place where the attack was made.

It has been thawing for two days and the trail may be obliterated.
