...the two horses of our Interpreter Charbono were absent; on enquiry it appeared that he had neglected to confine them to picqu[i]ts as had been directed last evening. ... one of them was found at no great distance and the other was given over as lost.

... Wah-how-pum Village ... sold us 4 dogs and some wood for our small articles which we had previously prepared as our only resource to obtain fuel and food through those plains. these articles cons]isted of pewter buttons, strips of tin iron and brass, twisted wire &c. ... we had the violin played and some of the men danced; after which the natives entertained us with a dance after their method. this dance differed from any I have yet seen.

Shabono made a bargin with one of the Indian men going with us, for a horse for which he gave his shirt, and two of the leather sutes of his wife. The sand through which we walked to day is so light that [it] renders the march very fatigueing.

We had a cloudy morning. I went also by water to day, and we had very laborious work in getting along. In the evening we met the party at a large village of the Wal-la-waltz nation on the north side of the river; where the other canoe had also arrived. Here we halted, unloaded the canoes and encamped. A horse had got away last night and could not be found.
