The white men made good use of the eye-water which was among their supplies; it was gratefully received by the natives and won them friends among the people they met.

On the fifth of April the journal has this entry:-- "In the course of his chase yesterday, one of our men (Collins), who had killed a bear, found the den of another with three cubs in it.

He returned to-day in hopes of finding her, but brought only the cubs, without being able to see the dam; and on this occasion Drewyer, our most experienced huntsman, assured us that he had never known a single instance where a female bear, which had once been disturbed by a hunter and obliged to leave her young, returned to them again.

The young bears were sold for wappatoo to some of the many Indians who visited us in parties during the day and behaved very well." And on the ninth is this entry:-- "The wind having moderated, we reloaded the canoes and set out by seven o'clock.

We stopped to take up the two hunters who left us yesterday, but were unsuccessful in the chase, and then proceeded to the Wahclellah village, situated on the north side of the river, about a mile below Beacon Rock.
