Clark: September 11, 1806

Thursday 11th Septr. 1806 a heavy Cloud and wind from the N W. detained us
untill after Sunrise at which time we Set out and proceeded on very well,
passed the nemahar which was low and did not appear as wide as when we
passed up. Wolf river Scercely runs at all, at 3 P. M we halted a little
above the Nadawa river on the S. Side of the Missouri to kill Some meat
that which we killed a fiew days past being all Spoiled. Sent out 6
hunters they killed and brought in two Deer only, we proceeded on a fiew
miles below the Nadawa Island and encamped on a Small Isld. near the N. E.
Side, haveing Came 40 Miles only to day, river rapid and in maney places
Crouded with Snag’s. I observe on the Shores much deer Signthe
mosquitoes are no longer troublesome on the river, from what cause they
are noumerous above and not So on this part of the river I cannot account.
Wolves were howling in different directions this evening after we had
encamped, and the barking of the little prarie wolves resembled those of
our Common Small Dogs that 3/4 of the party believed them to be the dogs
of Some boat assending which was yet below us. the barking of those little
wolves I have frequently taken notice of on this as also the other Side of
the Rocky mountains, and their Bark so much resembles or Sounds to me like
our Common Small Cur dogs that I have frequently mistaken them for that
Speces of dogThe papaws nearly ripe
