hail. It snowed during the forenoon, but we proceeded early
on our voyage, passed a bottom on the south side and hills
on the north. We also passed a small river on the south
called Chischeet river; and encamped on the south side. Two
of our hunters, who had gone out in the morning came in,
and had killed a buffaloe and an otter.
