ceeded on early. One of the small canoes with two hunters
did not come up last night. We left another small canoe
with some hunters behind and proceeded on. We went very
rapidly, and in our way killed a buffaloe, an elk and some
deer. At five o’clock we passed the mouth of Milk river,
which was very high and the current strong. Having pro-
ceeded 88 miles we encamped for the night.
