Weather cleared about noon & mountains began to show themselves after having been concealed for more than two days. Clouds still however clinging round the peaks. The rain must have been represented by snow on the mountain tops as they are far more extensively whitened now then before the bad weather.

Armstrong saw & fired at a real panther today near our present camping place.

The river filled with splendid trout some of the men have large strings of fish.
