The party traveled past bluffs on the south side of the river and stopped for dinner at 2 o'clock near the mouth of the Sacque (Jacques) River. There they encountered an Indian of the Maha nation living among the Sioux, and two more Indians soon joined them. A sergeant, the old Frenchman serving as interpreter, and another man set off with two of the Indians to visit their camps, while the third Indian continued on with the boat. The group camped for the night on a sand beach on the north side.
