We understood it was not very far from where we left the Virgin River to the Colorado, some said not more than fourteen miles and that the Colorado turned sharply to the south at that point.
Mr.Rhynierson and wife had a child born to them on the Virgin River, and it was named Virginia.
It was a gloomy trip the whole time on the Muddy.

I lost three or four head of cattle, all within a day and a night.

Mrs.Erkson walked to lighten the load, and would pick all the bunches of grass she saw and put them on the wagon to feed the oxen when we stopped.

I let them pass me and stopped and fed the cattle, and slept ourselves.

It was said that we ran great risks from Indians, but we did not see any.
