all in flocks, many lapwings, I see suddenly with nests of pretty sparrow fly about recklessly just above our heads giving them pleasure as I am so anxious to get the game I chant that a hard fight to get back with the bird for the current me- lies a mile race. We camped at 6 p.m. Thurs. June 12 Fri. June 13 Birth days were beautiful with a m. of racing in the P.M. We rode alone by the river shooting as we went. I got six geese - 2 swans & 4 gray games with a white neck & black bands that which I do not know. The days were unsuccessful. Sat. June 14 Gusto & I rode ahead of the carts and arrived at Vega at noon. We went to Anderson Drayes place & paid up with an Ojibway woman trump all tired very glad of a built a rest. Sunday June 15 Have been busy all day repacking & getting ready for an early start tomorrow. Coughed with throat. Stealing sugar and poured her in - got Mdy Farriers wings - a young fable. Went north farrier & saw the minister & his children he is 27. He lives for the farmer on a young on the hillside overlooking the city.
