St. Charles, Missouri — Joseph Whitehouse: May 21, 1804
Rainy weather marked the day as the party loaded additional provisions, including bread, on board. Around 4 p.m. they departed from St. Charles, firing the bow piece and giving three cheers as they set off in good spirits. They traveled a short distance upriver before camping on the north side. Two Frenchmen returned to the village, while two members of the party remained behind at St. Charles to follow later with the horses.
