(3) 1861 Aug 11 + 3d Enc 3d Day Out The most exciting chase I ever witnessed!!! ([[underlined]] Little [[/underlined]] - in truth, [[underlined]] I thought not [[/underlined]] it was Sunday). Koo-jes-se shot at Seal - Miss. Had the seal remained a moment longer in its [[underlined]] high position [[/underlined]] (wh. a seal usually makes just before it goes down to get a look all around) he would have shot it through the head (he had my rifle).

VII-15 Last telling shot!!! [[note]] For description see 5th page of this day's record [[/note]] Make fast to line & have it now in tow for Oo-pung-ne-wing where we spend the night. The 3d shot of Koo-jes-se hit it in the head. The last shot by Koo-per-neu-ung wh. killed Ni-noo instantly. I had one shot with my rifle - distance not great yet I came somewhat nearer than a rod! Firing from a dancing Boat is not like standing on terra firma. My escape! [[?Tunukdelier]] & Ar-chuk er-zhhun during the chase! The towing the Ninoo slow work.
