362 ANTIQUITIES OF THE ST. FRANCIS, WHITE, 
Many trial-holes sunk by us yielded two skeletons of adults, both closely 
flexed, one on the right side, the other on the left. There were found also dis- 
turbed bones belonging to the skeleton of an adult and to one of a child. 
At this point, owing to ill success and on the assurance of our agent, who as 
we have said, had searched the territory for us in advance, that the region to the 
northward was not more promising than that we had been over, we abandoned 
further search on Black river.
