we Set out at Sunrise the wind blew hard the greater part of the day and
part of the time favourable, we did not lie by to day on account of the
wind I walked on Shore to day our interpreter & his Squar followed, in
my walk the Squar found & brought me a bush Something like the
Current, which She Said bore a delicious froot and that great quantites
grew on the Rocky Mountains, this Srub was in bloom has a yellow flower
with a deep Cup, the froot when ripe is yellow and hangs in bunches like
Cheries, Some of those berries yet remained on the bushes. The bottoms
above the mouth of the last river is extensive level & fertile and
covered with indifferent timber in the points, the up land appear to rise
gradually, I saw Great numbers of Antelopes, also Scattering Buffalow,
Elk, Deer, wolves, Gees, ducks & GrowsI Killed 2 Gees which we
dined on to day Capt Lewis walked on Shore and killed an elk this evening,
