There were no trees near, but there were boulders, rocks and depressions, with the rich grass everywhere, and the dusky thief was as safe as if beyond the Assinaboine, in British territory. "I'm glad of it," thought Weber, a moment later; "a redskin that can show such a performance as that desarves to save his scalp."
"Not so sure o' that, Louis; there's a report brought in by a redskin that all the country between the sources of the Assinaboine and Missouri is turned into a sea, and the waters o' the Missouri itself are passing down to Lake Winnipeg. He says, too, that a whole village of redskins has been swept away." "Bah! it's not true," said Lambert.
Here he found the people in a state of considerable excitement owing to the sudden and unusual rise of the river. At Fort Garry the Assinaboine River joins the Red River, and flows with it into Lake Winnipeg.
I went to Buffalo Lip Butte, east of the Cypress Mountains; a little creek runs by it. I took eighteen horses from an Assinaboine camp one night, when it was very foggy. I found sixteen horses feeding on the hills, and went into the camp and cut loose two more. Then we went off with the horses. When we started, it was so foggy that I could not see the stars, and I did not know which way to run.
The unfortunate settlers found refuge ultimately, after being driven from knoll to knoll, on the higher ground of the Assinaboine, on the Little Mountain, and on a low hill twelve miles from the settlement. On his way to the Little Mountain Mr Ravenshaw touched at the mission station.
