Here they observed the tracks of two barefooted Indians who had evidently been fleeing from their enemies, the Pahkees.

These signs disturbed the Indian guides, for they at once said that the tracks were made by their friends, the Ootlashoots, and that the Pahkees would also cut them (the guides) off on their return from the trip over the mountains.

On the evening of the day above mentioned, the party camped at the warm springs which fall into Traveller's-rest Creek, a point now well known to the explorers, who had passed that way before.

Of the springs the journal says:-- "These warm springs are situated at the foot of a hill on the north side of Traveller's-rest Creek, which is ten yards wide at this place.

They issue from the bottoms, and through the interstices of a gray freestone rock, which rises in irregular masses round their lower side.
