On the 12th of September, having encamped early, they sallied forth with their rods to angle for their supper.

On returning, they beheld a number of Indians prowling about their camp, whom, to their infinite disquiet, they soon perceived to be Upsarokas, or Crows.

Their chief came forward with a confident air.

He was a dark herculean fellow, full six feet four inches in height, with a mingled air of the ruffian and the rogue.

He conducted himself peaceably, however, and despatched some of his people to their camp, which was somewhere in the neighborhood, from whence they returned with a most acceptable supply of buffalo meat.
