CHA P. IV. 
Early in the mornings we mounted our horfes, 
and in two days arrived in Savanna; here we learned 
that the fuperintendant of Indian affairs had left 
the capital, and was on his way to Augufta. I re- 
mained but one day in Savanna, which was em- 
ployed in making up and forwarding the collections 
for Charlefton. 
The day following we fet off for Augufta, which 
is on Savanna river, at lead an hundred and fifty 
miles by land from the capital, and about three hun- 
dred by water. We followed the courfe of -the 
river, and arrived there after having had a prof- 
perous journey, though a little incommoded by the 
heats of die feafon.
