Paul Lyman Commentary Finally, the company had a day without deaths. Eliza Chapman Gadd, age 40, had gone snow blind on the 23rd in the blizzard over Rocky Ridge.

There were so many dead and dying that it was decided to lie by for the day. In the forenoon I was appointed to go round the camp and collect the dead. I took with me two young men to assist me in the sad task, and we collected together, of all ages and both sexes, thirteen corpses, all stiffly frozen.
