User-Contributed Transcription 50Coast, the distance to the Fort was thought by him to not exceed 30 miles and suggested that our course be changed and that the trail be followed over to the Fort The Captain's theory appeared reasonable, and all hands readily consented and we set out upon the trail. which had been travelled but little for several years. In a couple of days, having made about 25 miles, over a very rough and mountainous Country, densely covered with large timber fir, hemlock, cedar &c. we descended a long spur of the Mountain to a narrow vally of prarie and timbered land alternating. through which a stream of about 50 feet wide flowed off northwesterly, which for a time was thought by the Capt to be the south Umpqua but after following down stream a short distance, all hands became satisfied that it was some unknown stream running into the Ocean [addition in red pencil] This stream was afterwards settled in 1853 and was called the South fork of the Coquille River
