7 Men Start Hazardous Climb To Rescue Marooned Hunting Dogs

Darrington, Mar. 21:

A seven-fman rescue team today began a harzardous climb in un effort to reach three hunting dogs marconed on a narrow ledge high on a storm-swept 7,150-foot mountain near here. The dogs, without food and plagued by a flock of angry eagles, became stranded when they chased a cougar up a steep slope 15 days ago.
