The place today: Missouri River approaching Cannonball River
day; passed Pond river on the north side, about 50 yards
wide. One of the squaws went on with us. At 12 it rained
some, and we halted to hold a court martial. At 2 continued
our voyage, and did not get landing until after dark, the bank
was so high and steep on one side and the water so shallow
on the other. We encamped on the north side.
