They set out again at 2 p.m. through cold, wet, and unpleasant weather, though the route remained level along the valley. After covering 20 miles, they made camp. Hunters rejoined them in the evening, bringing a freshly killed deer as well as two mares and a colt that one of the men had caught and led back to camp.
