Around midday, one of the expedition's hunters returned to camp with news of having killed six elk, providing a significant addition to the party's food supply. Meanwhile, another group that had crossed the river successfully located the small skiff or canoe that had gone missing earlier. They found it had drifted and been pushed up onto a marsh along a creek, allowing the men to recover the small but useful boat.
