In the afternoon we paid our respects to the governor--a quiet old man, who, in his appearance and manner of life, was scarcely superior to an English cottager.

At night heavy rain set in, which was hardly sufficient to drive away from our tents the large circle of lookers on.

An Indian family, who had come to trade in a canoe from Caylen, bivouacked near us.

They had no shelter during the rain.

In the morning I asked a young Indian, who was wet to the skin, how he had passed the night.
