Lewis: August 10, 1806

Sunday August 10th 1806. The morning was somewhat cloudy I therefore
apprehended rain however it shortly after became fair. I hastened the
repairs which were necessary to the perogue and canoe which were
compleated by 2 P.M. those not engaged about this business employed
themselves as yester-day. at 4 in the evening it clouded up and began to
rain which puting a stop to the opperation of skindressing we had nothing
further to detain us, I therefore directed the vessels to be loaded and at
5 P.M. got under way the wind has blown very hard all day but did not
prove so much so this evening as absolutely to detain us. we decended this
evening as low nearly as the entrance of white Earth river and encamped on
the S. W. side. the musquetoes more than usually troublesome this evening.
