At iho time,

When sobriety returned, and

Meek returned with three or four
associates lo the Salt Lake country,

he fell in on Hear River with n

under Jo Walker, who had been
sent lo explore the great Salt Lake,
and the adjacent country ; to make
charts, keep a journal, and, in
short, mako a thorough discovery
of all that region. Great expecta

come acquainted with a new coun
ed in the Digger country, which,1
in fact, bounded this desert on the
northwest. "There was," eays j
to which both men and animals
plunged to quench their raging
Uiirdt.
The instinct of a mule on lh?se
desert journeys is something
wonderful. We have heard it re
lated by other beside the inoun-
tain-men, that they will detect the
neighborhood of water long before
their riders have discovered a sign ;
and selling up a gallops, when be
foro they could hardly walk, will

moisture through every pore of the

! immunity from barm he enjoyed

Snake River, where the Hudson's
Bay Company had brought them
1 into subjection, and where even
j tiro men mighe travel in safety at
the lime of hia residence in that
j country.
Waiker'g compifiy continued cn
j down to the-jnain or Humboldt
River, trapping as they went, both
for the furs, and for something to
eat; and expecting to Hnd that the
river whose course they were fol
lowing through these barren plains,
would lead them to seme more im
portant river, or to force large lake
or inland sea. This was a coun
try entirely unknown, even to the
adventurous traders and trappers
of the fur companies, who avoided
il because it was out of buffalo
range; and because tho borders of
it, along which they sometimes
-kirted, were found to be wanting
in water-courses in which beaver
might be looked for. Walker'
company therefore, now determined
to prosecute their explorations un
. they came to some new and
profitable beaver grounds.
But after a long march through
an inhospitable country they came
-it last to where the Humboldt
sinks itself in a great swampy lake,
in the midst ofde9erts and sage
orush. Hera was the end of their
;rcut expectations. To the we6t of
-hem, however, and not far off",
rose the lofty summits of tho Sier
ra Nevada range, some of whose
peaks were covered with eternal
-nows. Since they had already
nade an unprofitable business' of
'.heir expedition, and failed in its
irincipal aim, that of exploring
salt Lake, they resolved upon
erossing lbs mountains into Cali
fornia, ni d fe 'king newk fields of
adventure on the wettern Bide of
the Nevada mountains,, t s
Accordingly, although it was al
ready late in the autumn, the
party pushed on toward the west,
until they came to Pyramid Like,
another of those swampy lakes
which are frequently met with
near the eastern base of these Sier
ras. Into this (lowed a streuai
similar to tho Humboldt, which
came from the south, and, they be
lieved, hrd its rise in the moun
tains. As it was important to find'
a frood pass, they look their course
along this stream, which they nam
ed Trucker's Biver, and continued
alone it to its head-waters in the
Sierras.
And now began tho arduous
labor of orossing an unknown range .
of lofty mountains. Mountaineers
as they were, they found it a dilli
cult undertaking, and one attend
ed with considerable peril. For a
period of more than three weeks
they were struggling with Ihete
dangers'; hunting paths for their
mules and horses, traveling around
canyons thousands of feet deep.
