only got seventy-five cents. We held a council of war, and 

 L. was to go to the Fort to-morrow to see General Karge and 

 make further arrangements. M. and Joe returned to camp. 



AUGUST 20, MONDAY. 



L. spent the day riding to the Fort, experiencing a very 



the road ; and, being the only promi- 



prairie, was not enchanted with the 



spent the day hunting and fishing 



r fish), and watching the Indians, of 



lumber camped near us. 



AUGUST 21, TUESDAY. 



L. spent the day at the Fort. He had to content himself 

 with writing messages to General Karge, as no one was in 

 the Fort from our other party. M. and Joe spent the day 

 fishing, and made themselves sick by eating too many trout. 

 In the afternoon L. left his own horse at the Fort, and took a 

 black one and a little mule from the herd-house, with which 

 he reached Steel's mill safely, and staid there over night. 



AUGUST 22, WEDNESDAY. 



L. found, on arising, that both horse and mule had disap- 

 peared, and started in pursuit of them. He found the mule, 

 but chased him six or seven miles before he caught: him. The 

 horse was afterward found near the camp, but would not be 

 caught. L. started back on the mule in the afternoon ; he 

 reached camp at four o'clock, and found M. and Joe in a qui- 

 escent state the effect of yesterday's troubles. 



AUGUST 23, THURSDAY. 



Joe went down to the mill for the horse this morning. L. 

 went up around No. 11 to make some sketches and measure- 

 ments, and M. staid in camp. Some physical measurements 

 were made of the inclination of strata, the height of timber 

 line was ascertained, and a sketch of the valley as seen from 

 a ledge high up on the precipitous side of No. 1 1, from which 

 a beautiful view was obtained, far out into the valley of 

 Henry's Fork, and over the bad lands. Joe came back at 6 

 P.M., with no horse. We decided then and there that we 

 would not be likely to get another horse up to that camp, and 

 that we had better move to our last camp.
