The kijw lodge that our fcl'ow men were and exposed to other filled our souls with a longing, di sire to save them at any risk. It was then time to act so few words were said. We got toettner what few provisions, wo had and were soon traveling a- - "o (ould to rescue Hie, unloitunate emigrants After traveling 90 miles we found the party at a place call- ed Cedar Pass northeast of Malad valley When we came to them the scene that took place cannot tie described.
