After hunters and when we were about 5 miles from camp, they began [illegible] about at the entrance to the Xystobrachis valleys off from the main river bed, find place to stop. We were much surprised but as the James Y. Young hunter had not yet arrived, we could not argue it's team of the halt. But we let them take their course ( instead it would have been useless to protest ) if the camp was soon made. It consisted of a hanging a piece of canvas over the trunk of a spruce tree for the purposes of stringing outtent upon a rope next by all of a fire. As soon as we had stopped at the succeeding day, we learned that a fire must be started without delay when this it was warm enough without me. The men now had an iron basin of tea over the blaze and when the water was warm they just put in a pound such stand which resembled nothing so much as powdered tobacco. As soon as it had boiled to each dished out a travel pleasant supply in a wonderful way, mix'd it with butter from a bird's bark top and eat a little powder & drink it over some meal. This was what the Tibetans call tramba.
