When the descent began, the drivers most of them having removed their snowshoes that their feet might sink deeper into the snow seized their trail-lines, and, acting as anchors behind the sleds, allowed themselves to be hauled stiff-legged through the deep snow in their effort to keep the sleds from over-running the dogs.
