our horses, that were fatigued, with the natives; about 12
o’clock some rain fell; and we prepared to move on. At 1 we
started, when the Indians also set out. We proceeded over
a mountain to a creek, and went down the creek, our course
being northwest; found the country mountainous and poor;
and the game scarce. Having travelled about 7 miles we
encamped. Four hunters had been out to-day, but killed
nothing ; we therefore supped upon a small quantity of corn
we had yet left.
