Novr. 22nd.. Friday 1805.
SOME little rain all the last night with wind, before day
the wind increased to a storm from the S.S.E. and blew
with violence throwing the water of the river with emence
waves out of its banks almost over whelming us in water, O!
how horriable is the day. This storm continued all day with
equal violence accompanied with rain, several Indians about
us, nothing killed the waves & brakers flew over our camp,
one canoe split by the Tossing of those waves we are all confined
to our Camp and wet. purchased some Wap to roots for
which was given brass arm ban[d]s & rings of which the squars
were fond. we find the Indians easy ruled and kept in order
by a stricter indifference towards them
