... Charbono's horse threw his load, and taking fright at the saddle and robe which
still adhered, ran at full speed down the hill, ... I sent the Indian woman on to request
Capt. C. to halt the party and send back some of the men to my assistance being determined
either to make the indians deliver the robe or birn their houses. they have vexed me in
such a manner by such repeated acts of villany that I am quite disposed to treat them with
every severyty, their defenseless state pleads forgivness so far as rispects their lives.
with this resolution I returned to their village which I had just reached as Labuish met
me with the robe which he informed me he found in an Indian lodg hid behind their baggage.
... we dined on some dogs which we purchased of the inhabitants ...Charbono purchased a
horse this evening. we obtained 4 dogs and as much wood as answered our purposes on
moderate terms. we can only afford ourselves one fire, and are obliged to lie without
shelter,

This was a pleasant morning and high wind. We proceeded on about 3 miles, when the wind
became so violent, that we could not proceed any further, and halted and unloaded our
canoes. Having remained here two hours, the other canoe came up, and we proceeded on
though the wind was high and river rough. At sunset I crossed over, where the party going
by land came in sight, and halted at a small village on the north side; but the other
canoe kept on along the southern shore. In the course of this day two more horses were
procured, and at this small village we got some more dogs and shapaleel [sic].
