What it cost we didnot care but have some, we must, as the Dr told them, knowing they had it to he returned with it and we soon had some cooked and had a fine breakfast, first we have had for a week, we then packed and left camp at 7 And had some bad hills to cross- went through steep hollows, "so called" here, tho hills are very long and steep. both descending and ascending. wagons are obliges to be lowered down here with ropes too. "same as have before started" while here in this hollow we saw a wagon break loose and down it came, till it was stopped by a large tree it came in contact with, we didnot return to see what damage was. before these teams can get up the opposite hill. their company have to onload their wagons- double up their teams, and draw their empty wagons up- then pack their loads up on their backs and load up again
