24th of April Wednesday 1805
The wind rose last night and continued blowing from the
N. & N W. and sometimes with great violence, untill 7
oClock P.M, Several articles wet in the Perogues by their
takeing water &c. as the wind was a head we could not move
to day Sent
out hunters, they killed 4 Deer 2 Elk & cought
some young wolves of
the small kind, The party complain
much of the Sand in their eyes, The
sand is verry fine and
rises in clouds from the Points and bars of the
river, I may
say that dureing those winds we eat Drink & breeth a preportion
of sand.
