We camped here and told them of the hardships we had passed through.

They had hired a guide, each wagon paying him ten dollars for his service.

Our little party talked over the situation among ourselves, and concluded that as we were good walkers we must allow ourselves to be used in any way so that we had grub and concluded as many of us as possible would try to get some service to do for our board and walk along with the party.

John Rogers had a dollar and a half and I had thirty dollars, which was all the money we had in our camp.

We found out we were about 60 miles south of Salt Lake City.
