men went up the river to assist Captain Clarke’s party. In
our way we passed a small bottom on the north side of the
river, in which there is an old Indian lodge 216 feet in circum-
ference. Here we saw some wild pigeons and turtle doves.
Having gone about 7 miles we found Captain Clarke’s party,
who had cut down two trees and taken off logs for canoes,
one 25 and the other 30 feet in length. The canoes had
returned to our old camp where Captain Lewis was.
