went out to hunt. I observed some flax growing in the bot-
toms on this river, but saw no clover or timothy, as I had seen
on the Missouri and Jefferson river. There is a kind of wild
sage or hyssop, as high as a man’s head, full of branches and
leaves, which grows in these bottoms, with shrubs of different
kinds. In the evening we all came in again, and had killed
nothing but a fish, We got some more from the natives,
which we subsisted on. We lodged here again all night, but
heard nothing from Captain Lewis.
