Six-Day Trek Through Snow-Laden Trails By Seven Men Who Wished To Tender a Dead Comrade a Christian Burial.

WINNIPEG, Dec. iL-Annals of the Northla-ndb heroic men had another page added to them last week. The folk of the Northern trails today are tolling of a six-day trek through snow-laden trails by seven men who wished to tender a dead comrade a Christian burial.

As the men hauled a toboggan on which reposed the body of Ingrad Gurlev, victim of the sub-Arctic cold. their mission of mercy included the finding of another barren-land brother, with two legs frozen. The trapper with his limbs useless was placed upon the toboggan and the rescuers trudged along through deep snow, over huge boulders and tlec stumps, to Great Falls, a muscle- stralning journey of 56 miles. Grcdt ‘Falls is a little town in far North- eastern Manitoba.

Came Upon Gurley In Dyinl Con- dltion

Micky Gilieran, patrolman of the ltinnitolaa Power Company. mushing his way over the trails. came upon Gurlov in a dying condition, half- way between Great Falls and Man- itoba Genital Mines. Punter-an, i’ veteran of the North. summoned as- sistance. Constable D. '1‘. Cook of the Provincial police and six, other men rushed to the scene with a to- boggan as the trails prevented the uce of dog teams. Gurlev was dead when they arrived.

Walking ahead of the party, haul- ing the toboggan. the constable broke trail with the death cortcge following in silence over the bar- rens. A few miles travel and the trapper with frozen limbs was dis- covered. A short halt was made while the man was placed on c. to- boggan and the march to the little settlement continued. ?

Before he died on the snow-cover- ed ground, Guriev, who planned to marry shortly and honeymoon to Denmark asked to have one last look at the picture of his fiancee. The

ket and the man died as his eyes scanned the picture.
