not having come in we left a canoe, with directions to wait till
12 o’clock for them; and proceeded on. About 9 o’clock we
met with our hunters, but they had not killed any thing; and
at 11 halted to hunt and wait for the canoe. In a short time
we killed three elk and brought in the meat; and the canoe
having come up we proceeded on, and at sunset encamped.
The musquitoes are not so troublesome as they were some
time ago.
