St. Clair McClary, a miner, buried deep in a snow-slide, at
Seward, Alaska, owed his life to the keen scent of his dog. The
snow-slide swept down the mountain. Four men at work on the
property were caught without warning and buried under several
feet of snow and débris. Two escaped without serious injury. So
deep was the slide, however, that difficulty was experienced in
reaching the others. The dog led the rescuers to a place several
yards distant, where, after hard digging, they came on the men,
who had been buried eight hours. Thomas Coales was dead under
the icy weight. McClary was barely alive when taken out.--_The
