But when I got near I found myself in exactly the same place I started at. So on I went to Mr. Hayes.

In a short time I met a government man who was looking for me. He drove me to Mr. Hayes' iou can imagine now mis. wenry ieu aoout. it.

"But there is a time when I did not get lost. It was my first retreat. We were staying at Jasper, Georgia. I had taken my wife around 80 miles to Dalonega and the top of the mountain from that point where I introduced her for the first time to C. D.

Hayes, the game protector, so she could wait at his place while I went directly over the mountain. "She drove me then to the top of Mount Oglethorpe and left me. I was accompanied by a small boy, Dick Little. It was 1 a three days' trip. At the end of three days Mrs.

Then we went to Ami- cacola Lodge where we spent the night. The next morning it was i pouring as I have never seen pour.

The rain increased so I could not wear my glasses and we were thoroughly soaked, the wet going all through my waterproof bag3. Water ran in rivulets, the fog was dense, and a gale sprang up as we made about the fourth mile. The great difficulty was that I could not use my Guide Book. The rain and hail went through everything. Without the book I was helpless as the trail is very difficult down there and there are few markers.

"We went in an outhouse, the only building not locked, on Frost mountain. We waited for an hour, but the gale and rain came on like a hurricane till I thought the shed would be tossed off the mountain. Still I waited and debated. At last we decided to retrace our way back to Amicalola Lodge. It was bitter tramping in the rain.

You could cut the fog with a knife We were soaked through our blankets and carrying a couple gallons of water. It was too wet to start a fire at the Lodge, so we went on and on through the rain. Eventually we found Tate Mc-Clure's place. He had a fire. We stripped and dried ourselves and remained for the night.

"After breakfast I caught a fellow some distance off who skidded me 29 miles to Eli.jay where I ran to the hotel to telephone my wife.
