October 2nd Tuesday (Wednesday) 1805
despatched 2 men Frasure & S. Guterich back to the village
with 1 Indian & 6 horses to purchase dried fish, roots &c.
We have nothing to eate but roots, which give the men violent
pains in their bowels after eating much of them. To the
Indians who visited us yesterday I gave [presents] divided
my Handkerchief between 5 of them, with a Small piece of
tobacco & a pece of riebin & to the 2 principal men each a
ring & brooch. I walked out with my gun on the hills which
is verry steep & high could kill nothing, day hot wind N.
Hunters killed nothing excep a Small Prarie wolf. Provisions
all out, which compells us to kill one of our horses to eate
(and make Suep for the Sick men.)
