The soft condition of the ground prevented the drlyer being injured and other teamsters got him out. The horse, however, sank deeper and deeper and would soon have suffocated but for prompt action being taken. Lumber was secured and a derrick built.

A rope was passed around the horse's limbs and with a block and tackle, inch by inch it was lifted out of the mire one end at a time, until a rope could be placed around the body. As rapidly as the animal was lifted by some of the men, others would put flakes of baled straw under It so that all advantage gained could be held.
