While Tu-nuk-de-lien takes a walk down the "Look Around" eminence a little below the Falls on wh. we made a stop, I trudge on to the "Falls".  When near them, I looked back, & she was again upon the eminence I had just left.  I waved my flag for her to [[underlined]] Ki-ete [[/underlined]] to wh. she responded by shouldering her pack & making her way to me.  In 10 rods the river falls 25 feet.  True course of Falls N.N.W. & S.S.E.  Direction of river from Falls to its final bend toward F. Bay 123° Az. C.

Koo-jes-se now arrives opposite side of Falls - crosses by fearful leaps rock to rock!  Course of river above Falls 11 Paces 346° - thence 11 Paces 262 wh. reaches next broken character of river running over rocks.
Now we have turned in under the friendly protection of a huge boulder rock.  The beating rain reaches us not.  We have just refreshed ourselves in our new - (Is it not an old one?) house with a portion of the rein-deer shot by Kood-loo this Morning wh. Koo-jes-se has brought along with him.

We have left the river wh. is now distant 1/2 a mile from us.  Its general course N.W: - have been passing along during the last hour on the side a long, even hill which is covered with vegetation of the various sorts belonging to the country - & boulders moss covered.  At the base of this extended hill, the side of wh. is greatly inclined, say 20° degrees, are boulder rocks - nothing but rocks as if the sea once was limited by them.
