Preuss says it was finished, "the 10th August, 1739;" and that minute fact in Chronology, with the above tale of Hero-worship hanging to it, will suffice my readers and me. But there is another literary project on hand, which did take effect; much worthy of mention, this year; the whole world having risen into such a Chorus of TE DEUM at sight of it next year.
Of every thing on board, the only article that had been saved was my double-barreled gun, which Descoteaux had caught and clung to with drowning tenacity. The men continued down the river on the left bank. Mr. Preuss and myself descended on the side we were on; and Lajeunesse, with a paddle in his hand, jumped on the boat alone, and continued down the canon.
Preuss is lost but finds the Party again Arrival at Sutter's Fort in a Destitute Condition Two of the Party become deranged The Route on the Return Trip Mexicans come into their Camp asking Aid and Protection Indian Depredations Carson and Godey start on a Daring Adventure The Pursuit The Thieves overtaken These Two White Men attack Thirty Indians The Victory Horses retaken The Return to Camp One of their Companions killed The Journey continued Arrival at Bent's Fort The "Fourth of July" Dinner.
These are the H and K of prominences. Preuss. Roy. Roy. Mag., vol. xvi. It is obtained by the interference of rays, in the manner first exemplified by Fraunhofer, and affords the only unvarying standard for measurement. A. L. Cortie, Astr. and Astrophysics, vol. xi., p. 401. Jour. of Science, vol. xli., p. 243. Jour, of Science, vol. xiv., p. 89; Nature, vol. xvi., p. 364; Month.
Preuss, I ascended to-day the highest peak to the right from which we had a beautiful view of a mountain lake at our feet, about fifteen miles in length, and so nearly surrounded by mountains that we could not discover an outlet.
Both were volunteers; and to the successful man was promised a pair of pistols not as a reward, but as a token of gratitude for a service which would free us all from much anxiety." At the end of four days, Mr. Preuss surprised and delighted his friends by walking into camp. He had lived on roots and acorns and was in the last stages of exhaustion.
He determined to assemble a great army with speed and secrecy, to invade Silesia before Maria Theresa should be apprised of his design, and to add that rich province to his kingdom. We will not condescend to refute at length the pleas which the compiler of the Memoirs before us has copied from Doctor Preuss.
Charles Preuss was Frémont's assistant in topography, and it is likely that he made his sketches, several of which were published in the original report. Another member of the party, and one who joined it in the Rocky Mountains and is of special interest to us, was Christopher Carson, commonly known as "Kit" Carson. Frémont speaks of him in very friendly and flattering terms.
And to the good Count Manteuffel it is a matter of perfect indifference whether this money comes from Prussian or from Austrian sources." "Youth of Frederick the Great," by Preuss, page 132. "And why these amiable pleasantries?" said the count, with a forced smile.
Occasionally we met deer, but had not the necessary time for hunting. At one of these orchard grounds, we encamped about noon to make an effort for Mr. Preuss. One man took his way along a spur leading into the river, in hope to cross his trail, and another took our own back.
