52 Across the Plains Oct 13th Wednesday.- Early this morning we detailed a scout to look for trail in a northern course. Country more level, proceeded about a mile and a half, and came to a well beat hunting trail going north. I was sent to intercept our scout, as we had found the trail, after half an hour's fast traveling I came in sight of them, attracting their attention. I informed them of the track, they had found a cart track going west joining company, we followed it till it crossed the track that the train we were on at right angles, we here awaited for them. Followed cart trail. Saw numerous ducks, geese and buffalo, all making their way south. Feed still continues to be good in places for animals. Traveled about fifteen miles and camped on the prairie, near wood and water. Weather clear and pleasant during the day, heavy frost at night. Comet still visible, but fast disappearing. 15.
