Without mercy the sun trailed them. Heavily loaded wagons were abandoned, some mired in ihe seemingly bottomless salt sinks. Discord arose. Instead of . common suffering uniting them, it heightened each day with fragments of the party growing further; and further apart. Oct. 20 came before the party of doomed ones reached the base of the Sierra Nevada. Here they received their first relief brought in by Charles T. Stanton from Sutter's Fort, where he had gone earlier for help. Instead of moving faster than ever after relief came, the party rested for five days before attempting to get up the Truckee River valley to the pass. Though a few pushed on ahead they lost the trail, for snow had begun and the deep covering on the ground turned them back to a camp by the lake. More snow came and storm followed storm. Drifts rose to could- - enormous depths. Now they n't reach the pass. They were caught In the mountains and it . was November. Stanton, the heroic one, made an effort to push through with the strongest of the group.

These men parties made up chiefly of Donwith the connected in no way ner Party crossed over the pass from the west, each carrying at times as much as 75 pounds of food, and brought back to Sutter's a few each time, often carrying children all the way back. One man of each relief broke trail until he became exhausted. Then he fell to the rear and the second man led. Before the last survivor was taken out of the two camps, the Donner camp at Alder Creek and the other camp at the lake, conditions had become With all ''their food gone, they boiled to a pulp "the hides and bones of animals eaten long be fore and ate the mess.

Men of the group thought they might find Tamsen Donner, one of the last few left there, still alive as she had appeared' in good strength when the fourth relief left her at a caVnp with her dying husband. Yet they found no one at . , either camp. ' . At the cabin where Louis Kese: berg had been, there was a litter of filth and remains of butchered corpses. At Alder Creek the relief found Donner property scattered all over.. They saw a kettle full of- - pieces of the body of George Donner. When they started back, they came upon old Kesetoerg, the last survivor, lying down amid human bones. Suspicious of the man they roped him and learned from the crazed fellow his story.
