into the water at the same moment, by a a huge stretch of ice giving way.
When we got there, the open water was again covered with a thin coating of ice, but silk handkerchiefs, mooseskin gloves, hats, drowned dogs etc etc. covered the surrounding ice.
There were 23 Indians, male and female and two white people, all going to a dance. All were saved except two, the white people, W. Frank Camsell, who was riding in his sleigh, and his little daughter who was riding in his arms.
They were still clasped together when the bodies were located.
