7 A.M.
_ Tuesday , July 29th . _ -- Tried to sleep in boat , and did n't do very well . I steered part of the night , and Uncle Dick part of the time . At 7 A.M. made LaPierre House . It is eighty miles from the summit at least , and that is fully twice as far as we were told that it was ! Some said it was only thirty miles beyond the summit . Saw signs where raft had been built -- maybe some Indians coming down-stream for their winter quarters .
