Being Unwilling to confide in this unfavourable account of fbe petives, it ‘.vas • concerted between -Capt.

Ac cordingly I set out next ; day, passed the 4 • mountains between the Missouri and Columbia, a: 4 descended the river, which I since called' tee t.:st fork of Louis's river, about lie miles,.

Every preparation being made, we set for ward the 31 st Aegust,.throngh these tremendous. mountains, in which we continued until the 22c1 Sept. before we reached the lower eountry.beyoud them. Pnour way we met with the plehtchFhook a band of the Techapaks, -from whoni we o'otained seven horses, and exchanged eight or ten others this proved an infinite service to us, as we were com pelled to subSist on horse-beef about eight days before, we reached the Kodskooske. During' ()lir passage. over these mountains we suffered every thieg.whicli 'hanger, cold, and fatigue could impose;. uor did out difficulties terminate 'on arriving at the .Kooskoeske, for, although the Pollotepallors, a numerous nation, inhabiting that country, were oiareuiely hcspitable, and for a feW trifling articles ltaruished abon , %,. dance of roots and dried salthon, the food to which they accustomed; we found we could not,suis Sist,on these articles, and almost' all of us grew sick on eating them ;• 'We were obliged therefore iciliave recourse to the fle=h of horses and dogs, as food, to make up the deficiency of our guns, Which produced but little meat, as game was scarce in the vicinity; whore we were compelled to remain to co:yenta our perogrtes to'descend the ri`eer.
