108 GASS’S JOURNAL OF THE
of the party went out to hunt. In the evening they all came
in, and had killed but three buffaloe, a deer and a cabre; and
caught a small animal almost like a cat, of a light colour.
Yesterday one of the men caught a small squirrel, like a
ground squirrel, but of a more dun colour, and more spotted.
We finished the boat this evening, having covered her with
tallow and coal-dust. We called her the Experiment, and
expect she will answer our purpose.
