y" r ' The Long Vigil
i t'Here I selected a lonely spot at
' ; the foot of a rocky precipice in th-
Blue mountains, intending there to
fcass the remainder of the winter. I
j killed my horse and hung up the flesh
' on a. tree for my winter food. I built
a small hut with pine branches, long
grass and- moss, and packed it all a
round with snow to keeup us warn-,:
and' this was r. difficult task, for I
had no axe, but only a knife to cut
wood.
"In this solitary dwelling I passed
"63 lonely days. I then left my hut
and set out with my children to cross
the mountains: but I became snow
blind tho second day and had to re
main three days without advancing
a. step; and this was unfortunate, as
our provisions were almost exhausted.
Having recovered my sight a little, I
. set nut again and got clear off the
mountains and dawn to the plains on
tho fifteenth day after leaving ray
winter encampment; but for six days
we had scarcely anything to eat, and
; for the last two days not a mouthful,
i "Soon after we had reached the
i, plains I perceived a smoke at. a dis
l tance: but being unable to carry my
children further, I wrapped them up'
ft in my robe, left them concealed, andi
I set out alone I nhopes of reaching the
f. Indian camp, where I had seen the
smoke; but I was so weak that I could
hardly crawl and had to sleep on the,
way. Next day at noon I got to camp.
It proved to be the Walla Wallas, and
I was kindly treated by them. Im-

mediately on my arrival tho Indians
set off in search of my children and
brought them to the camp the same
night. Here o stayed for two days,
and then we moved on to the river,
expecting to hear something of the
white people on their way either up
or down."
The following fragmentary account
of the Uorion story is given by Gab
riel Franchere, a French Canadian,
who was a clerk- of the expedition
which John Jacob Astor sent to the
Columbia. It is reprinted from his,
"Narrative of a Voyage to the North
