Saturday, October 2

This morning we calculated to travel eleven miles, but on arriving at

the North Bluff fork, we found no grass and were compelled to continue

on. We traveled till the road strikes the river and some grass, then

camped, having traveled eighteen and a half miles. Three buffalo have

been killed today and there are considerable in this region. Two of the

oxen gave out and had to be left on the road.
