When t^e Northern Indians returned folr thfc Fajitory that year, the above Copper Indian put himfelf under the protection of Matonabbee, who accompanied him as far North an the latitude 64®, where they faw fome Copper Indians, among whom was the young man's father, into who(^ hands Matonabbee delivere«j him in good health, tvith all his goods iafe, and in good order. Soon after we had left the Copper-mine^ there came on a thick fog with rain, and at intervals heavy fliowcrs of fnow. This kind of weather continued for fome days; and at times it was fo thick, that we were obliged to ftop for fex'^eral iioors together, as we were unable to (ee our way, and thft road was remarkably rocky and intricate. At thrice o*dock in the morning of the twenty- fccond, Matonabbee*s brother and one of the Copper Indians, who had been firft difpatched a- liead from Congccathawhachaga, overtook us. During their abfence they had not difcovered ^ny Indians who could have been fervieeable to thly expedition. They had, however, been at the Copper River, and feeing fome marks fet up thtte to direft them to return, they had made ihfe t^ dF their way, and had not flept from the time r â 4.
