Lewis: May 15, 1805

Wednesday May 15th as soon as a slight shower of rain passed over this
morning, we spread the articles to dry which had got wet yesterday in the
white perogue; tho the day proved so cloudy and damp that they received
but little benifit from the sun or air; we were enabled to put them in
such a state as to prevent their sustaining further injury. our hunters
killed several deer, and saw three bear one of which they wounded.
