The 19th, was a fine day, and at day light we continuted our voyage; passed the mouth of the Mine river, saw several turkeys on the shores, but did not delay a moment to hunt; being so anxious to reach St. Louis, where, without any important occurrence, we arrived on thhe 23rd, and were received with great kindness and marks of friendship by the inhabitants, after an absence of two years, four months and ten days.
