nearer in shore. The Captain, the Doctor,
Erickson and Boyd, being disabled, staid

was on or about the 10th Of September,

tremity of the peninsula, and after some
delay, waiting for the river to freeze, they
crossed the river to the west bank on or
about Oct. /. The width of the river
there was about five hundred yards. Be-

Captains intention was to make for a place
called Sagasta on the map. Erickson died,
