Capt. Clarke still continued unwell. Our squaw informed us,
that it was at this place she had been taken prisoner by the
Grossventers 4 or 5 years ago. From this valley we can dis-
cover a large mountain with snow on it, towards the south-
west; and expect to pass by the northwest end of it. Capt.

north latitude. We also remained here the 29th, which was a
fine day, and the men chiefly employed in the same way.
Capt. Clarke is getting better.
