Mo7iday Ath, A fine "morning. We cmbarltel' 
i#arly ; passed two large islands, and a beautiRd pan 
«f the river. The tide raised the water last night ^ 
feet. We went about 7 miles and came to a largr 
Indian village, where they informed us that in two

in them. The Indians here have a great deal of neW
