hunters went out early. About 10 the hunters who had gone
across the bay returned, and had killed 2 elk and 2 deer.
I this day took an account of the number of pairs of
mockasons each man in the party had; and found the whole
to be 338 pair. This stock was not provided without great
labor, as the most of them are made of the skins of elk.
Each man has also a sufficient quantity of patch-leather.
Some of the men went out to look for the lost canoe, and
killed 2 elk.
