STORY OF FATE
TRAGIC NOTE IN DIARY BROTHERS IN WILDERNESS (Received March 2(>, 11.15 p.m.) QUEBEC, March 25 Scrawled on a diary beside the frozen bodies of two young brothers, hunters in the northern wilderness, was the story of their death from cold and starvation. One cut his leg and could not walk but the other died first.
The survivor, in a note to his parents in the diary, said: "The Blessed Virgin has taken my brother. I am lonely, hungry and cold and I hope She will take me soon. 1 do not fear. We have gone through too much not to be saved. 1 am saying my rosary."
