sail early with a fair wind. Passed a beautiful bottom on
the south side, and hills on the north. A great many of the
natives, some on horseback and some on foot appeared on
the hills on the north side, hallooing and singing. At 2, we
stopped for dinner, and as we could not get our boat to
shore on the north side, the water being shallow, our Indian
was sent over to them. In the afternoon we passed a bottom
covered with timber on the north side and hills on the south,
and encamped on the north side. Here our Indian returned
accompanied by one of the Mandans.
