The place today: Waiting for Nez Perce guides at Weippe Prairie

went out and we agreed to stay here all day that our horses
might rest and feed. At 10 o’clock our hunters came in and
had killed a deer. Two men are trying to take some of the
fish with a gig. At noon the two men who had been left at
Hungry creek to look for the horses came up, but had not
found them; and with them the two hunters, who were left at
the place we dined yesterday, and had killed two deer. In the
evening one of the large fish was caught, which we found to
be a salmon-trout.
