There were some calves in tfhe shipment, too and a separate pen was built in the corner of the car to keep the calves from being trampled underfoot. Young Baker learned merely that the cows were being snipped to Sioux Falls, "away out west." He elicted the sympathy of one fthe loaders and was given permission to huddle Into the little pen, among the calves.

Thus he kept himself warm during the rather slow and cheerless pourney westward. And "Grandma" supplied biw with milk.

The north wind came with a rush along towards evening and lifted huge waves in the river, waves that lapped four and five feet high on the bridge iplers. Four or five men tackled Che trip in a skill and made it safely, bailing all tbe while as the waves broke over the gunwale and drenched tbe.ni to the skin. Capt.

But it didn't return. Nobody cared to tacklo tbe rough sea, and It was believed the three men left behind would go ap on the bottom to a farm house for the niht.
