[Clark:]
August 4th. Sunday. 1805
a fine morning cool proceeded on verry early and Brackfast
at the Camp Capt Lewis left yesterday morning, at this Camp
he left a note informing that he discovered no fresh Sign of
Indians &c. The river continued to be crouded with Islands
Sholey rapid & clear, I could not walk on Shore to day as
my ankle was sore from a tumer on that part. the method we
are compelled to take to get on is fatigueing & laborious in the
extreen, haul the Canoes over the rapids, which Suckceed each
other every two or three hundred yards and between the water
rapid oblige to tow & walke on stones the whole day except
when we have poleing, men wet all day sore feet &c.&c.
