Lieutenant Fremont, on their account, and also to repair damages, decided to remain in camp for the day.

Quite a number of the Kansas tribe of Indians visited them in the most friendly manner.

One of them had received quite a thorough education at St.Louis, and could speak French as fluently and correctly as any Frenchman.

They brought vegetables of various kinds, and butter.

They seemed very glad to find a market for their productions.
The camping-ground of the party was on the open, sunny prairie, some twenty feet above the water, where the animals enjoyed luxuriant pasturage.
