one hundred and four, rank and file, he pro-
ceedcd on his mission, but without the pre-
cautions necessary against savage warfare.
About sixty miles from the Dalles, on
emerging from a deep ravine, he found
himself, as he reports, confronted by 1900
Indians. After losing two men killed, and
some thirteen or fourteen wounded, one
mortally, he escaped from his perilous con
dition to an eminence on which waSneithor

he was surrounded by Indians, and asked
for thousand men to relieve him. This
was communicated to the Dallcs by per
son who succeeded in passing the Indians
without being observed Relief was imme-
dlately ordered. In the meantime, after
remaining on the hill thrty-six or forty
hours, water being indispensable both to
men aud animals, the Major determined to
force his way to water. lie broke up his
encampment aud commenced his march for
the stream in his front. He met with no
resistance, and, after allaying the thirst of
his men, horses and mules, he commenced
his march towards the Dalles. Iu his effort
to make good his retreat he became sepa-
rated from his rear guard, the front and
rear taking different trails. The guard,
supposing that it was following the front
of the column, continued its march towards
the Dalles without interference or molesta-
tion from the Indians. This left the Major
with only forty effective men, and the
wounded and baggage, With this small
force he succeeded in making good his re-
treat, followed two days and nights by
