a pilot on the lookout, to direct to the deepest part of the river. This is a very responsible situation, as none but those who have been long acquainted with the river are competent to conduct a raft. This arises from the fact, that sand-bars are continually forming at places where they have never b sen seen before, and it re- quires a practised eye and a good judgment, to detect these unseen dangers. 36 After everything was prepared we started, with all our provisions upon one raft, which con...sisted of one barrel of pork, half barrel of flour, four bushel of potatoes, \/ith tea, sugar, and other little etcet- eras, not being able to obtain much from the Pinery, as it was diffi- cult for them to procure provisions, and as we expected to have a short trip down the river. The first day we ran about 30 miles, but not without getting aground several times. Sometimes a raft would ground, and the others be obliged to run five or ten miles before they reached a landing place, and then we were obliged to go back by land to assist the others in getting off.
