March 21 Crossed Ferry early for $5.00 & paid a dollar for 25 lbs. of barley straw.

Drove into Needles & sent the specimens by mail. Sold my team & wagon. Camped on river bank & before night bought a boat

Am ready for an early start down the river in the morning.

" [[ditto for: March]] 22. Started down river before sunrise. Got onto sandbars & had to get out & push. Found I couldnt row. paddled & steered & let her run.

Got into some pretty rough whirls, but went along first rate. Passed through several miles of cañon in the Mohave Mts. These mountains are all but bare rock. scarcely a green thing.

Camped just at south end of Canon. tied up early & set 32 traps.
