proceeded on about 7 o’clock A. M. up the north branch.
This branch is about 60 yards wide and 6 feet deep, with a
rapid current. We passed a number of islands. The valley
continued on the south side all this day; but the spur of a
mountain, about 5 or 6 miles from the forks came in close on
the north side with very high cliffs of rocks. We encamped
where it terminated, having made 13 miles and an half.
