of his waggon which detained the camp some, two more companies
overtook us at noon, the camp started on & Brs ,

we were behind all the afternoon. A company that arived at noon
informed us that a man was drowned at the ferry after we left in
trying to swim his horses across & they had not found his body when
they left, two men also got some alarmed at the by a large griselly bear they stoped to put their names on the
Rock & the company left them they started to follow on, one man
was on foot & the other on a horse & were met in the road by a griselly
bear who made a tract 10 inch long, they had no weapons not even a knife

came along, the griselly bear are more apt to attact men than any other
kind.
