Our boats tied up for the night, but early this morning, at
4 o'clock, we continued our journey. The river is deep and narrow here, which
with the high bluffs, makes it a dangerous place for bushwhackers, but we were
not molested on the trip. We reached Clifton at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and
disembarked, marched out about two miles and went into bivouac.
