o’clock one of them returned and had killed a brown-bear.
The musquitoes and gnats are very troublesome. In the
evening the other hunters came in and had killed only one
deer.

CHAP. XXII.
ATURDAY 2151. We had again a fine morning; and we
S collected our horses in order to return to the Com-mas
flat. We proceeded on to a creek, where we met two young
Indians, who said they were come to go over the mountains
with us. We halted here for dinner; after which, all our party
proceeded on to Com-mas flat, except myself and two men
who remained here to hunt. We wish to kill as much meat as
will serve the party, until we get back where our loading was
left, as we have plenty of roots there to serve us over the
mountains. One of our best horses got snagged to day, and
was left here. The two Indians remained with us, and in the
evening one of the men killed a deer.
