of the hunters went out. About 1 o’clock the natives, who,
had been with us some time, went away; and at 4 another
party of the same nation came, and encamped close by us.
They consisted of 15 men and one squaw. The dress of the
squaw was the same with those of the others. Several of the
men have robes made of brant skins: one of them had a hat
made of the bark of white cedar and bear-grass, very hand-
somely wrought and water proof.—One of our party pur-
chased it for an old razor. Our hunters killed 3 deer to-day.
