in length. The canoes had returned to our old camp, 
where Captain Lewis was. 
Saturday loth. A fine day, but high wind. Cap- 
tain Lewis came up here, acconapanied by the 
squaw. He informed us that the canoes had started 
with all the baggage from the former encampment, 
which we bad called White-bear camp. The mus- 
quitoes are very troublesome. This evening the 
canoes were finished except the putting in some 
knees. 
Sunday A fine moniing. About 11 o'clock 
the men came up with the canoes and baggage. 
The distance by water was found to be 22 miles, 
and by land only 6 miles. In the afternoon some 
rain fell but we continued to work at the canoes, ani 
Crushed them ready for loading.
