so violent, that we could not proceed any further, and halted
and unloaded our canoes. Having remained here two hours,

wind was high and river rough. At sunset I crossed over,
where the party going by land came in sight, and halted at a
small village on the north side; but the other canoe kept on
along the southern shore. In the course of this day two more
horses were procured, and at this small village we got some
more dogs and shapaleel.
