and his wife, set out through the prairie with one canoe on a
waggon loaded heavy with baggage. We went on slowly as
our axletrees were weak; and about 12 o’clock one of them
broke; when we had to halt and put in a new one. This acci-
dent happened at a draught where there was some willow, and
we put in an axletree of that; which I believe is the best this
country affords for the purpose. It was late in the evening
before we got to the intended place of embarkation on the
river.
