miles and halted at a handsome grove of timber on the South
side. It rained a little all the afternoon. Some of the men

one of the periogues, crossed over it and broke two guns,

on through the men where they were sleeping, but hurt none
of them. As we came along to-day we passed a place where
the Indians had driven above an hundred head of buffaloe
down a precipice and killed them.
