ED. 1833-1834] Townsend's Narrative 279 stood the fort on the bank of the river; horses and horned cattle were roaming about the vicinity, and on the borders of the little Walla-walla, we recognized the white tent of our long lost missionaries. These we soon joined, and were met and received by them like brethren. Mr. N. And myself were invited to sup with them upon a dish of stewed hares which they had just prepared, and it is al- most needless to say that we did full justice to the good men's... cookery. They told us that they had travelled comfortably from Fort Hall, without any unusual fatigue, and like ourselves, had no particularly stirring adventures. Their [154] route, although somewhat longer, was a much less toilsome and difficult one, and they suffered but little for food, being well provided with dried buffalo meat, which had been prepared near Fort Hall. Mr. Walker, (a young gentleman attached to the band, ) related an anecdote of Mr. Lee, the principal, which I thought eminently characteristic.
