Missouri River near Platte River mouth — Joseph Whitehouse: July 14, 1804
Heavy rain and a strong wind hit camp before the party could depart, churning the water so violently that all hands had to get into the river to steady and hold up the boat. Once the storm passed, the expedition resumed travel and rowed about 10 miles further that day. Whitehouse's brief entry emphasizes the difficulty of managing the vessel against rough conditions, but notes no other significant events, encounters, or decisions during the day's journey.
