Friday 2Qih. The morniiig was cloudy. We set ^ 
out early, and at 10 o'clock canne to Deer ibland ; '"f 
where tliose who had Ji:one ahead in the small canoes 
had encamped, and al! gone out to hunt except one. 
In a short time a hunter returned with a large deer, 
and v^e concluded to stay here all day and repair two 
i)f our canoes, that leaked. It rained at intervals

ascend.
