JULY.] JOURNEY BEYOND THE GREAT RIVER. 323 
could we fail in with this river, it would conduct us to 
the Great River ; we therefore requested our Coranna 
guides to lead us to that river, after which they might 
return to Malapeetzee. One of the chief men made 
us a present of a goat; on counting our sheep, we 
found one with its lamb was missing. We did not 
suppose they had been stolen, but had strayed.
