The Lord's day he considered holy, and, with his men and stock, all on that day rested. Thousands of men on the plains more eager and anxious to be among the first to get through to the gold diggings, often traveled hours at night and all day Sunday, the same as any other day. Some of them rushed ahead with all their might, and with their outfits passed Mr. Clark when only a few miles west of the Big Blue river at Marysville. The trip was very slow and tedious, but Mr. Clark with his company ke...pt steadily pushing forward six days in the week. While going through Nevada, long before he entered the eastern border of Cali- fornia, he passed the same men who, months before, had passed him when only a few days or weeks out from the Missouri river. Their stock, what few head were yet alive, was terribly run down — little left but skin and bone — and the entire parties generally used up and demoralized. All appeared to be worn out from exhaustion. Neither man nor beast had had any rest except what they got at the end of a long day's journey at night.
