Tuesday Oct 21 To Glen Bonar:
There was little rain in the
forenoon. We left about 10 and
followed down the wagon road
the Cross road ahead to get to
Auzellis ahead of the Tram. The
road led from the Kopiout
valley. We had dinner at a
small creek about 7 miles down
as on the P.O. trail.
Rain came on and increased
and we reached the village
below Kopiout about 5 o'clock
in a heavy rain. Camped in
the house of an Indian relative
of Luke, named Edward.
Bought a pair of shoes from
which the aid man lent me
to ploughed up at a depth
about a foot when I made
the garden a ground that had
not been cleared many years and
had never been ploughed before
