explored, my friend that the river flooded & made a large island. Our horses crossed the first branch successfully, tho' it was very swift & we felt sure that we could get the carts cross. My found several log stables & a log house on the center of the island but all deserted, we could find no way across the 2nd branch of the river but decided to camp on the island. My got the carts over successfully do pitched the tents. Just then we heard shouts & saw a line of wild carts forcing their way to the river & behind us. They were headed our way but found that they were thru our encampment tents & carts when we had had supper. There was a Janna among the drivers and we called him for information. He said the Mangals had all moved up the valley to go across the same route, with him on a 5-day hunt. He continued to guide our Janna to the points for the sum of $3 & they started off at once. Then it began raining swiftly, poured in sheets, & splashed about.
