Still the same Course, we saw an Exceeding high Mountain, we agreed to go to it for Wilson told me that it was the highest Mountain in all the Country, in going to it we cross't a small River, running through the Mountains, bearing NNW to SSE, the day being so far advanced, we could not get up & down while day light, so we stopp'd under the Hill till morning, the Ground is covered with Lime Stone, & a kind of a Marble Stone, we gathered some of them which we put in our Bags
