text: You refuse to go outside and remain in the cabin. The next day is Reed Teamster Milt Elliott’s last dawn. Lacking the strength to even get out of bed he lies muttering to himself and shaking all day before finally slipping away. The girls of the Reed family, some of whom were very fond of Elliott, bury him in the snow. That night Levinah Jackson approaches you and slips $100 into your hand. “I need meat so badly” she whispers to you. “Go and cut Milt’s hand off and the money is yours.”

  > You give Mrs Jackson's money back to her
  You refuse to desecrate the dead and give Mrs Jackson’s money back to her, she returns silently to her cabin. Almost stubbornly you continue to survive, holding yourself together and then, finally, a wonderful thing happens. A party of seven men, backpacks bulging with food, reach the camp at Truckee Lake. They have been sent from California: it seems that at least some members of the Snowshoe Party made it through and now rescue missions are being mounted. While some of the settlers travel down to visit the Donner Brothers the others remain at Truckee Lake and provide what medical treatment they can. It is too late for little Catherine Pike, an infant child in the care of her grandmother Levinah Jackson. Unable to even cry the child had been reduced to moaning feebly until one day it just passes away.
  
  
  The rescuers re-gather and prepare to leave. They have decided they can take twenty-one people with them: weak teamsters Noah James and John Denton, women Margret Reed, Philippe Keseberg, Doris Wolfinger and Eliza Williams and fifteen children. The remaining men (George Donner, Patrick Breen, Louis Keseberg and Donner wagon-driver Jean Trudeau) have chosen to stay so that the women and children can leave in safety. More help is on it’s way to rescue them but if you truly insist you will be allowed to accompany the First Relief down.
