Monday May 13th 1805.
The wind continued to blow so violently this morning that

returned we set out; the courant reather stronger than usual

which I anticipate a change of Country shortly. the country
much the same as yesterday; but little timber in the bottoms
and a scant proportion of pine an cedar crown the Stard. hills.
Capt C. who was on shore the greater part of the day killed a
mule and a Common deer, the party killed several deer and
some Elk principally for the benefit of their skins which are
necessary to them for cloathing, the Elk skins I now begin to
reserve for making the leather boat at the falls. the hunters
joined us this evening; Gibson had wounded a very large
brown bear but it was too late in the evening to pursue him.
