Time passed slowly iu Sublelt'es

to heal. Day passed after day, so
entirely like each other that the
monotony alone seemed sufficient
to invite death to an ea;-y conquest.
liut the mountain man s blootl,

therefore, since death would not

forced to accept of life in just this
monotonous form. To him Joe
Meek was everything, hands, feet,
physician, guard, caterer, hunter,
cook, companion, friend. What
long talks they had, when Sublette
grew better; what stories thoy told ;
what little glimpses of a secret

sharpness how ewect was lifti, even

the council continued, and the ma

he did not see tho necessity of nier

however, and just at sunset their

mountain-men replied to this ad

were soon far away from the Snake

four months.

pany, ihe partners Deing anxious
to be freed from this sort of espion
age, and obstinate competition on
their own ground, made a propo
sition to Vanderburg and Unpps
to divide the country with them,

perhaps because they feared hav

was on his way out with a heavy
stock of merchandise, and hurry
him forward, lest the American
Company should have the oppor

Captain Sublette hurried for

ed of sixty men with pack-horses,
three to a man. In company with
him, was Mr. Nathaniel Wyetb, a

The caravan had reached the
foot-hills of the Wind River Moun
nains, when the raw recruits be
longing lo both these parties were
treated to a slight foretaste of what
Indian fighting would be, should
thev ever have to encounter it.
Their camp was suddenly aroused
at midnight by the simultaneous
discbarge of guns and arrows, and
the frightful whoops and yells with
which the savages made an attack.
Nobody was wounded, however;
but on springing to arms, the In
dians lied, taking with them few
horses which their yells and fright
ened from their pickets. These
marauders were Blaekfeet, as Cap
tain Sublette explained to Mr.
Wyeth, their moccasin tracks har .
ing betrayed them ; for each tribe
has a peculiar way of making or
shaping the moccasin, the expert
in Indian habits can detect the na
tionality of an Indian thief by hia
foot-print. After this episode of
the uiiht assault, the leaders re-, -
doubled their watchfulness, and-
reached their destination tn Pierre a
hole about the first of July. '
AVhen Sublette arrived in camp,
Hwss found that Fitzpatrick.wus-'
missing. If the other partners baa
believed him to be with the Cap
tain, the Ccptajii expv d to find
bim with tV teuice neither
could account to ;:ie other for his '
non-appuuaiice, mugh anxiety was
felt, and Sublette remembered with
apprehension the visit he "had re
ceived from rdackXeeV However,
before anything hadbeen deteruain
ed upon with regard to ...him, he
made his appearacce in camp, in
company with two Iroquois ha1'
breeds, belonging to the camp, v Lo
had been out on a hunt."
Fitzpatrick had met wh an ad
venture, as had been tonji't.ue
While coming up ihe Green ;
vallev. he descried a si.'t I i ',; ' j
of mounted men, whom he mistook
for n company of trappers, and
stopped lo reconnoitre; but almcst
at the same moment the supposed
trappers, perceiving him, setup a.
yell that quickly undeceived tH
and compelled him to flight.
