August 12th. Monday 1805.
We Set out early (Wind N.E.) proceeded on passed Several
large Islands and three Small ones, the river much more
Sholey than below which obliges us to haul the Canoes over
those Sholes which Suckceed each other at Short intervales
emencely laborious men much fatigued and weakened by
being continualy in the water drawing the Canoes over the
Sholes, encamped on the Lar
d Side men complain verry
much of the emence labour they are obliged to undergo &
wish much to leave the river. I passify them. the weather
Cool, and nothing to eate but venison, the hunters killed
three Deer to day.
