immediately to St. Louis, the whole of our craft was put into
the water. A considerable quantity of rain fell this day; the
first of any consequence that had fallen here for six months.
The 2nd, was a fair day but windy. On the 3rd the weather
was fine and pleasant. Some boxes were made, in which it was
intended to have packed skins of different animals, which had
been procured in the country, to be sent down in the batteaux.
