during the voyage. She spent
most of her time standing on the
forward deck watching the mate
on duty as he probed the depth
of the water and watched fol
snags which might puncture the
hull of the boat. On two occa
si0ns the boat was fired on by
marauding Indians. However, the
firing was mainly by bow and
arrow and only one person was
hit. That was one, Jack Newman
who was struck in the chest with
an arrow. Two days later he died
and was buried with ceremony on
the banks of the Missouri ap'
proXimatcly five miles upstream
from Fort Berthold. His body
is one of the many which will
be found by the Master along
the Big Muddy on Judgment day.
Mary was beginning to realize
in the short time that she had
been travelling toward the un'
tanned west, that things were
going to be vastly different than
they had been In Kansas City.
AS the boat progressed within
several hundred miles of For,
Benton the country became very
rough The river was full of rap
ids and sandbars. The banks. In
most places. were very high. The
channel was much narrower. The
formations along the river were
beautiful but rugged. At one
place there were great many
dome shaped rocks. At another
there were dozens of huge rocks
