Excerpt from The Story of the Canadian Pacific Railway Rom a deep canyon in the heart of a range F Of Canadian mountains there emerged on a September day a group of unkempt and weather-scarred men. They continued their stumbling march over a ground covered by masses of rock, fallen trees, long rank ferns, and poisonous devil's club. At mid-day they halted, wearied and hungry, and each man ate his perilously meagre rations. Then one Of the party, a tall, bearded man with a commanding presence and distinguished appearance, despite the raggedness Of his attire, turned to a younger man beside him and gave him a few words Of instructions. The younger man fired two rifle shots in rapid succession. All the men then listened intently. The report of a gun shot was heard in reply. The rifle emitted another three shots, and again a gun Shot was heard - once - twice - three times. Thank God! We have established our con nections! The tall, bearded man, evidently the leader, exclaimed. The longed-for supplies were there as arranged. All anxiety for the future was over. The party hurried forward, eagerly and excitedly overcoming the Obstacles underfoot. After a little time they halted to rest, and the young man again pilled the trigger Of his loaded rifle. Two shots, more distinct from their closer proximity, were heard. The men again advanced, elation marked on every countenance. Going straight in the direction of the sound, they strove to follow it. Soon they were out of the green woods and before them lay the waters of the Columbia. On the opposite shore, about a mile distant, they Observed the smoke of a camp. A series of hurrahs broke from the men - their friends from Kamloops were there at the appointed meeting-place.
