RUSTLINGS IX THK ROCKIES. 25 



several handsome mountain trout in the Yellowstone, within 

 a few yards of our camp, on which we feasted that night and 

 at breakfast the next morning. 



We moved up Clark's Fork the next day, crossed Rock 

 creek and camped on the bank of the river five miles be- 

 yond. Clark's Fork is a beautiful stream ; clear, very swift, 

 and runs over large boulders nearly its entire length. It is 

 full of mountain trout, most of them of large size. We 

 caught all we wanted at every camp we made on the river and 

 its tributaries, and feasted on them nearly the entire time 

 we were out. At sundown we were delighted to see Allen 

 ride into camp. Once more our party was complete.
