By the firft of March we began to leave the fine level country of the Athapufcows, and again to approach the ftony mountains or hills whiclji bound the Nortberi) Indian country. Moofe and beaver ftill continued to be plentiful; but no buf- faloes could foe feen after the twenty-ninth of Fe* bruary. As we were continuing our courfe to the £a£): South Eaft, on the fourteenth we difcovered the tracks of more ftrangers, and the next day came up with them. Among thofe Indians was the man who had carried a letter for me in March one thoufand feven hundred and feventy-one, to the Chief at Prince of Wales's Fort, and to which he had brought an anfwer, dated the twenty- firft of June. When this Indian received the letter from me, it was very uncertain what route we fliould take in our return from the Copper River, and, in all probability, he himfelf had nqt then determined on what fpot he would pafs the prefent winter; confequently our meeting each other was merely accidental.
