Clark: December 19, 1805
After a night of intermittent rain, the morning was clear with a southwest wind. Clark sent Sergeant Pryor and eight men in two canoes across Meriwether's Bay to salvage boards from an abandoned Indian house, while the rest of the party continued building their huts. The afternoon turned cloudy with hail and rain. Pryor's group returned in the evening with two canoe loads of boards, though the lumber proved to be of poor quality. Two Indians visited briefly during the day.
