A large bear was spotted this afternnon about 3/4
of a mile to the W. on the beach, coming this
way. Crawford, Maurer & Galle set out in ten-
ding to hide near the other side of the river &
wait for him to come up. He (the bear) however
started up the W. side of the river and Craw &
Galle both took after him. The bear saw the two
men and the last we saw of Mr Bear
was a white streak going North. Variable
puffs of strong wind, mostly from the South
