The place today: Successful Bitterroot crossing with Nez Perce guides
of the Indians a pair of mockasons, and they agreed to stay
to day and wait for the party. —One of our hunters went out,
but had no success. The day keeps cloudy, and the mus-
quitoes are very troublesome. There is also a small black fly
in this country, that so torments our horses, that they can
get no rest, but when we make small fires to keep them off.
At noon two hunters went on ahead to a small creek, to en-
deavour to kill some provision, as we cannot kill any here; and
unless the party come up to night, I intend to go on with the
Indians to-morrow morning. In the evening the party arrived
with three more Indians, and we all encamped together for
the night.
