When the travellers arrived on the banks of the river, they experienced some puzzling dilliotilties how to get across, but having killed ten elks, with the skins of which they connived to construct a C4 , 1111', this hariship was soon overcome ; but the joy which it dilrused was ss tmi sient as disappniated hope.
