Monday Oct 10: To 15 miles below H.Note Broke up traps and closed up everything and carrying taken everything to the isolated below where the raft was built we left about noon. Drifted down the river until sunset when we camped on the right bank. The river is bordered by poplar and pine clad terraces as above, and the only feature worthy I note are the Rock Islands back with steep sides from the river with flat tops. Took some photo and noted a number of birds not flying seen. The trees are now practically bare of leaves Tuesday Oct 11: To Fort St John We got away in good time and floated our down the river which Continued much the same. The rain was misty but at soon cleared but was rather cold. We stopped for dinner at the point where the Police Trail to Fort Graham leaves the Peace and ascends Cache Creek. Then we went on and finally reached Fort St John about an hour after dark. Found George and Dan stopping in a cabin with a prospector named Barker who has been a couple of years in the country. He spent some time on the Nelson about 150 miles above Fort Nelson Here there were caribou, sheep antler and black and grizzly bears and he joined a shed elk antler Dan and George have a large mill built on which we will float down Wood caribou are found at a point about 100 miles down with the Peace See a red fox near Cache Creek
