Chapter II: Letter V: Never had such a hard time—Camping out in the 35

Rockies—Horses decamp—Left in the lurch—A terrible
fright—Crossing a torrent—"Old Jim" taking a roll—Pack
smashed—"Old Jim" in a snow-drift—Woke up by a grizzly—What
the newspapers said of it—Cutting fencing poles in the
snow—Christmas Day—Pickles and plum pudding—The
consequences—A dance—Cowboys and farmers' daughters—"Shall I
turn tail?"—A profitable old cow—The nicest little ranche in
Montana—Start on a sheep drive 300 miles—"The healthiest
place I ever struck"
