afterwards we traveled feveral miles on its 
S. W. fide, where we enjoyed a fine profpect 
of a fpacious rich vale on our left hand. On 
this hill we faw a lime ftone a little bigger 
rhan my head, which is rare in thefe parts. 
We entered the vale at 5, then croffed a 
run and rode along a rich level for feveral 
miles, and under the delightful protection of 
very tall trees that brought us to a creek, a 
branch of Sufquehanah , where we lodged fur- 
rounded by ginleng- 
4 ih. This was a fine day, and our traveling 
cool, becaufe lhady, and the goosberries being 
now ripened, we were every now and then 
tempted to break off a bough and divert our- 
lelves with picking them, tho' on horfe- 
back. 
This morning was clear and cool, and 
now our journey was truly charming, it is 
icarce poffxble to think the advantage we had 
in returning from the fingle circumftance of 
being free from rhofe fmall gnats that tor- 
mented us. in our going fo grievoufly. But 
our return being moftly in the fame path, it 
will, be needlefs to delcribe the land or its 
productions again. 
W e fet out an hour before funrife, the 
morning clear, at half an hour after ten we 
reached Owagan, and turned our horfes to 
grals, while we flopped at a cabin. The 
A'quaw brought in a bowl of buckle-berries, 
to.
