The Indians brought me meat in small quantities though sufficient for our daily consumption and, as we had a little ammunition, many were paid on the spot for what they gave.
On the 9th I had the satisfaction of seeing the Indian arrive from Fort Enterprise.

At first he said they were all dead but shortly after he gave me a note which was from the Commander and then I learned all the fatal particulars which had befallen them.

I now proposed that the chief should immediately send three sledges loaded with meat to Fort Enterprise, should make a cache of provision at our present encampment, and also that he should here await the arrival of the Commander.

By noon two large trains laden with meat were sent off for Fort Enterprise.

The next day we proceeded on our journey and arrived at Fort Providence on the 21st of November.
