There was Crow brave in the dele

when. whilst the boat lay up during the
night. ne suddenly left, without notice to
any one and no trace could be ob,sined
Iof him. The supposilion entertained
was. that he had become hone-sick or
tired. and would attempt to return 10 his
nation. This was strengthened BY his
observing boat going up that evening.

evening he appeared as cheerful as usual

offers q reward Of one hundred dollars
for finding and delivering him at his Of

their ARRIVAL in the settlements, has been
one of great wonder, and in some cases
offalarm and fear. Except what they
had seen AZ Fort Laramie and Fort Kear-
ny. they knew nothing Of The mhife
raait's lodges; bnt their greatest asionish-
Kent was in seeing a steamboat, and
their fears were excessive upon going
upon it. They called it The fire horse.

they could reconcile themselves 10 ihe
noise and confusion Of blowing otl steam,
the steam whistle, ringing the bell, &c.
Fat first the motion Of the boat made
some Of them sick; bn, they are among
the most intelligent Of their respective
tribes, and in time became rec0nciled and
Iquieted. they were highly delighted
