The place today: Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt
Indian and his wife staid all night and got more medicine. A
party of the men went to some Indian lodges about 4 miles
up the river to buy roots; and in the afternoon returned with
a good many of them. Several of the natives came to our
camp with the men and in the evening all went away. We
got another of our old stock of horses; and have now all we
left except. three; two of which the old Snake guide took
with him. At dark two of our hunters came in but had not
killed any thing. The day was fair during the whole of the
afternoon.
