132 | "In the beginning of January 1800 Captain McPherson set out with [four] attendants to stalk for deer among the mountains that skirt the parish to the south [they] took provisions with them sufficient to serve from Monday to Friday, on which day [they] intended to return. They were lodged in a house in the valley of Gaick, generally habited by herdsmen, but then unoccupied. It was built of stone, with the couples driven to the ground for greater stability. It stood on a rising ground at the foot of one of the [?]ffy mountains which nearly surround the valley, fronting the north west. The first two days the sojourn of the hunters there were calm and frosty. On Wednesday evening [the]re came on a dreadful storm of wind and snow from the southeast, which [in]creased to a hurricane during the night. This continued till Friday forenoon, when weather became settled. As Captain McPherson and his party did not return on Friday [e]vening, fears began to be entertained for their safety, and a messenger was dispatched [on] Saturday to ascertain the cause of their delay. On approaching the place where the house had stood, he was surprised to find that it had entirely disappeared, and that the whole place was covered with an immence depth of snow. Having discovered a hat and a powder flask, he naturally [?]headed that the Captain and his companions had perished. Having communicated these facts [on] his return, a party of about twelve men set out for the spot early on Sabbath morning. On approaching the spot, the ruins of the house were discovered among the Snow, in some instances [s]cattered to a distance of two or three hundred yards. After a long laborious search they discovered the only remaing vestige of the house under a depth of snow at least six feet. |
