Finest of the St. Helens glaciers, north side, with Black Butte on left. It is proposed to call thisForsyth glacier, in honor of C. E. Forsyth, leader in a memorable rescue. It was day when camp was reached. In an improvised hospital, a youngsurgeon, aided by a trained nurse, both Mazamas, quickly set the brokenbones. Then they sent their patient comfortably away to the railroad and aPortland hospital. Before the wagon started, Anderson, who had uttered nogroan in his two days of agony, struggled to a sitting posture, and searchedthe faces of all in the crowd about him.
