It was about A. M. before the boat was found some travellers having removed it from the place where Baronette had cached it. A half hour sufficed to wrap a tentcover neatly around the bottom and to tack it fast on the thwarts. Then two oblongs of flat wood were nailed on ten feet of pine-stems and called oars and so equipped we were ready to start. We had driven or ridden hundreds of miles over a country familiar to any one who chooses to read half a dozen books or reports but once across the Yellowstone we should enter a region of which little has been written since Lewis and Clarke wandered across the head-waters of the Missouri in 1805 and had their perils and adventures told anonymously by one who was to become famous for many noble qualities of mind and heart for great accomplishments and unmerited misfortunes.

The bellmare promptly declined to lead and only swam out to return again to the shore. Then one or two soldiers stripped and forced their horses in but in turn became scared and gave it up amidst chaff and laughter. At last a line of men armed with stones drove the whole herd of seventy-five animals into the water with demoniac howls and a shower of missiles. Once in they took it calmly enough and the brave little foal leading soon reached the farther bank. One old war-horse of recalcitrant views turned back and had to be towed over.
