(2 1861 Sept 2d Mon 15th Enc. 2d Day 25th Day Out to follow up the river one day - & the next 2 following go [[strikethrough]] about [[/strikethrough]] X along the land Eastward - the last day of the 4 to go wherever I thought best. At IX 1/2 A.M. I, accompanied by Tu-nuk-de-lien started on the purposed tramp on East side of the river. Allokee (Too-loo-ka-ah) also went with us - but soon as he saw the party across the river skinning Took-too he made his way rock to rock in crossing river near the falls direct to said party. The above or preceeding notes are written here on an eminence a little over a mile from 15th Enc. by or facing the falls proper. Tu-nuk-de-lien is engaged in sewing, sitting on the carpeted ground while I write. A beautiful sight before by & around me. A patriotic sight indeed by me - the [[end page]] [[start page]] (3) 1861 Sept 2d Mon 15th Enc. 2d Day 25th Day Out "Stars & Stripes" floating in the breeze. The falls dashing in white at my right - sending forth its roar - also at right the extended plains of grass. At the NW [[underlined]] an opening in the mountains that opens to view What? - I yet am to determine. [[/underlined]] At my left, winds the beautiful river gracefully moving its water toward Frobisher Bay. Also at my left the [[underlined]] phenomenon [[/underlined]] of this region N. - the line (Bank) of [[underlined]] Blue & White sand [[/underlined]] - but I must trudge on tho' I have been in wait to see Koo-jes-se start. He is still engaged at Took-too skinning across the river. Old Allokee (Too-loo-ka-ah) busily engaged in making his morning feast upon it. The weather a little while ago looked propitious of a fine day. It has now changed. I fear I will not have a Sun by wh. to determine Latitude - but I must away.
