muddy condition Of the valley bordering on the river %
the distance If some miles in width. This mud
has been left by the recedng Of the river and was hall
belly deep 70 horse over the entire extent OF the valley
this made the process of digging canoe which had u be
done in the mud and water tedious AMI unpleasant The

menced and the first loads crossed in safety but in
crossing the third load which contained nearly all the pro
visions and ammunition of the party, the canoe was cap
