A great portion of the timber through which wc passed along this ridge is dead, and a considerable part fal- len ; and our horses are weak and much jaded. One of them got into a small swamp, and wetted a bale of merchandize. About four o'clock in the afternoon we got down the mountain to a creek, which runs nearly south-M'est. This course we suppose is a very good one for us. We went down this creek about a mile, and encamped on it for the night in a small rich bottom. Here we killed a duck and two or three pheasants; and supped upon them and the last of our horse- meat. We also killed a wolf and eat it. The hunters did not join us this evening, nor the two men who went to look for the horse. Sunday 22d.—This was a fine warm day. About nine o'clock we continued our rout over a ridge about a west course, upon the top of which there is a handsome small prairie ; where we met one of our hunters with a supply of roots, berries, and some fish, which he procured ^ora another band of the Flat-head nation of Ipdians.
