The incident, however, was a determining factor in changing the party's
plans. Already they were behind their time schedule, to Mr. Cornwall
Brand's disgust. The party was too large and too heavily encumbered with
impedimenta for swift travel. Besides, as Paula said, "Why rush? Are we
not doing the Peace River Country? We are out for a good time and we

announce just what special interest was hers. She was "having a good
time" and that was reason enough for leisurely travel. In consequence
their provisions had run low.
It was decided to send forward a scouting party to the Hudson's Bay Post
some thirty miles further on to restock their commissariat. Accordingly
Knight and Fielding were despatched on this mission, the rest of the
party remaining in camp.
