The place today: Missouri River near Little Missouri
able morning ; rapid water and a strong wind. Some of the
canoes took in a good deal of water; and we made but 6
miles, when we were obliged again to lie too, on account of
the wind, and to dry our loading. While we lay here we killed
three elk and got a number of Geese eggs out of their nests,
which are generally built on trees.
