The eye had fcareely ben regaled with -his,charming pros- peck when, at the distance of a quarter of a mile Capt. Lewis obferved another of a fim- flar kind ; to this he immediately haltened, and found a caicade (Iretching acrofs the whole river foi a quarter of a mile with a de- feent of fourteen feet, though the perpendic¬ ular pitch was only fix feet. This, too in any other neijhboih-od, would have been an obk'fi .,f great magnificence, but after whit he had ju!t feen it became an object of iecon- ci:11"y iutcrclt : his curlofity being however a- Wakened, he determined to go on, even if night mould overtake him, to the head of the la'lb. He therefore purfucd to the iouthweli courfc of 1 he river; which was one coniianc iu'jccflion of rapids and fmall cafeades, at ev¬ ery one of which the bluff* grew lower, or the bed ofthe river became more on alcvel with the plains. At the distance of two and a half miles he arrived atttnother cataract of twen¬ ty nx feet. The river here is fix Hundred text wide, but the defcent is not immediately perpendicular, tho* the liver falls generally with a regular and frooth meet ; for about one third of the delcent a rock piotrudes to a fmaii distance, receive-; the water in its pas, sage, and gives it a curve. On the fouth fide is a beautiful plain, a" few feet above the level of the «alls *, on the north tilt conntry is moid broken, and there is a hill not far'fom the river.—Jolt below the- fall is a little ifhind id the middle of the river well covered with tim'-. time after dark, not being able to find a fpot large enough to encamp on> but at length, about two miles above a fmall ifland in the middle of the river, we met with a fpot on the left fide; where we procured plenty of light wood and pitchpine. This extraordina¬ ry range of tocks were called the Gate3 of the Rocky Mounta.in.ft. We had made twen¬ ty two miles, and four and a quarter miles from the entrance of the gat^s. The moun¬ tains are higher today than they were ycfter- day. We law forri'e big-horns, a few ante¬ lopes and beaver, but fince entering the mountains have iound no buffalo : the otter however are in great plenty ; tfle musqtietoes have become lefs troubkfomc than they were.
