Camp was made that night on the
fishing grounds, after q long and tedious
pack down the mountain side OF three
miles, the wagon having been left at the
top.

morning Boyden and Eidrcdge took the
trail for the deserters, but returned at
night without scalps, and up TO date the
horses are still missing.
This so dampened the spirits Of the
party that for a couple Of hours the pipe
