Miracle that the story does not end there,
on the October dangerous glacier slopes.

"They seemed unreasonably glad to see me," he wrote.
And afterwards in forty years
of shared wilderness journeys,
differently told and retold on paper and canvas,
John Muir and William Keith
would be friends for the rest of their lives.
