Lewis: May 15, 1805
After a brief morning shower, the expedition spread out items that had been soaked the previous day in the white pirogue, hoping to dry them. However, the day was too cloudy and damp for the sun and air to do much good, though the men managed to keep the articles from suffering further damage. Hunters had a productive outing, killing several deer and spotting three bears, one of which they wounded.
Wednesday May 15th as soon as a slight shower of rain passed over this
morning, we spread the articles to dry which had got wet yesterday in the
white perogue; tho the day proved so cloudy and damp that they received
but little benifit from the sun or air; we were enabled to put them in
such a state as to prevent their sustaining further injury. our hunters
