But with such supplies of animal and vegetable food there was no fear of want.

The indolent Indians consequently gathered around the Missions in great numbers.

They were all fond of show, and not unwillingly became such Christians as consists in attending the ceremonies of the church.
The Mission, with its buildings, cultivated fields and vast herds, seemed like the garden of Eden to our weary travellers.

They however, remained here but one day, as they were not on a tour of pleasure but in pursuit of furs.

A day's travel brought them to another but much smaller Mission, called San Fernando.
