The party set out early in the morning, with two men and an Indian sent ahead to search for horses that had been left behind during a previous visit. At noon they stopped at a creek where two hunters had been working, though no game had been killed, and took dinner there. They then continued to Hungry Creek, where they met up with the men bringing the horses, and made camp for the night. Considerable rain fell during the afternoon.
