The expedition continued upriver, finding high land on both banks. They passed a large creek on the north side, named Platt, measuring about fifty yards wide. During the day's travel, the boat's mast broke. The party made camp on the south side of the river, where they observed an unusually abundant amount of wildlife sign—more than had been encountered at any previous stop on the journey.
