John Denton was leftwith a good fire, and when last seen was reclining smoking, on a bed offreshly gathered pine boughs. He looked so comfortable that the littletimid boy James begged hard to be allowed to remain with him. Mrs. Reedhad hard work to coax him to come. Among other things, she promised thatwhen he reached California he should have a horse "all for himself, " andthat he should never have to walk any more. This promise was literallyfulfilled. James F. Reed, Jr. , since reaching Calif...ornia, has alwayshad a horse of his own. No matter what vicissitudes of fortune haveovertaken him, he has always kept a saddle horse. Sad scenes were occurring at the cabin at Donner Lake and the tentsat Alder Creek. Starvation was fast claiming its victims. The poorsufferers tried to be brave and trust God, but sometimes hope well-nighdisappeared. The evening prayers were always read in Patrick Breen'scabin, and all the inmates knelt and joined in the responses. Once whenthey were thus praying, they heard the cries of wild geese flying overthe cabin.
