            When they got to the Elkhorn River they found two large comp a nies on the bank of the river.

Canute Peterson and Ira Sabe volunteered to swim across and rea ch th e ferry. When they got about a third of the way across, Ira began t o giv e out. Canute knew he had to reach the ferry so he exerted himsel f to th e utmost to reach the ferry, which he did. He pulled Ira after h e got th ere. They got the ferry boat in operation and before evening ha d quit e a number of the wagons across.
