text: You hold onto your blanket, despite Mrs Jackson’s pleas. The deaths continue: the next to go is Margaret Eddy, the absent William Eddy’s infant daughter. She died one night in the arms of her mother Eleanor and her mother is inconsolable. Margaret’s death means that apart from you there are just forty other people remaining in the camps at Truckee Lake and less than half that at Alder Creek.
  
  
  Patrick Breen and Louis Keseberg want to make sure the Donner group at Alder Ceek are ok and being too weak themselves ask you to travel down to their camp.
  
  
  What do you do?
  
  
   
  > You sunday 7 February 1847: Truckee Lake, California
  You refuse to make the difficult journey and a few nights later a pair of deaths shake the camp. Harriet McCutchen, an infant both of whose parents have left the Donner Party and who was being looked after by the Graves family dies. The infant had spent most of her waking hours crying and death must have been a release for it. Eleanor Eddy dies too: since her husband left with the Snowshoe Party she has been looked after by the Murphy family. Since her daughter Margaret died she lost the will to live, those she does leave a son James who is a toddler. Their deaths make the mood even more grim, that night as the wind whistles around the huddled cabins you are struck by an urge to go out and find something to shoot and eat.
  
  
  What do you do?
  
  
   
  > You go outside
  You set out on your journey but do not return: losing sight of the camp you are hurled to the ground by the freezing blizzard and do not get up again.
