trail left by Hamlin and Hughes

been no wind. and the cold had crust

ponies were easily followed. AS they

Tired as Dupont's horse undoubtedly
was, he might not yet have attained
the Indian encampment, which, in

than Hughes had supposed The fact
that no spirals of smoke were visible

frosty air they should naturally be
perceived for a considerable distance.
