our Breakfast, and feed the horses, continu-

Pine Creek, in five or 6 miles crossed
it thirteen times, got to Morris's Mills
about 12 OClock 12½ Miles from where
we lodged. When at William Ellis

she told us we could not get the Wag-

the like information, which account

they appeared glad to see us, tho no ac-

Wilson's and get his Son to assist us in
