The fiying survey that the engineer
?f the Grand Trunk Pacific railwa
made through the unexplored forest
^ and mountains of Canada was atteni
ed by all maimer of hardships an
adventures. It is remarkable that s
~m few men lost their lives, for the worl
which was pushed forward winter an
summer, was always filled with dai
gers. An experience related in Mr. I
A. Talbot's book, "The Making of
Great Canadian Railway," affords
.graphic Idea of the pains und per
altles that many surveyors endure
x In that silent, unpopulated country:
In the depths of winter x was ei
with one of the surveyors on an ei
ploratlon trip. We had four dogs an
a couple of sleighs not heavily ladei
-Somehow or other, owing to tt
[blinding snow, wje were delayed an
-lost our way. The dogs had to q
without food and we ourselves did n<
itaite a bite tor three days; nor dl
we catcfc sight of the smallest sgec

~ thrown off tfrg sfelghs to gjy
the plight pf the dogs, ^o'wn so thl
from want of food that their rll
showed through their skins. Only oi
aloeplng bags were retained. Throug
the day we stumbled along on o\
jnowshoes, constantly falling over ol
stacles and bruising ourselves again
the trees. At night we lay down t
our camp fire, utterly exhausted ar
falnt'from hunger and cold.
It was on the third morning that
descried the faint footprints ot
Jack rabbit. It was the first sign <
game that we had seen for three day
