belonged to Roger to see that the teams were
attended to, but as the team was Kimball's, and

Brother Joseph Hancock and another of the brotherin
we're chased a considerable po[r]tion of the day by
four suspicious fellows on horsback armed with
guns, whom they attracted by traveling in the
brush and thickets where horsmen could not
ride; it was late when they returned to camp.
At night we encamped in an unsafe and un-
plesant situation, in a small ravine the
only place we could get water for some miles.
The country was a wild uninhabited region.
