Clark: January 28, 1805
On this warm Monday, the party tried unsuccessfully to cut through the ice to free their boat and canoe. Several Indians visited camp hoping to have war hatchets forged for them. The man who had fallen ill the previous day was recovering, but in the evening their interpreter, Mr. Jessome, became very unwell. No major decisions were recorded, and work on freeing the vessels would need to continue another day.
