been able to proceed on this morning, but the rs^m 
continued, and the river still remained roug'h ; and 
we are therefore obliged to lie by. About noon one 
the 3 men who had gone in the canoe, returned 
having broke the lock of hi^ gun : but the other two 
wxnt on by land, as the swells ran so high that 
they could not possibly get the canoe along. About 
the same time some Indians in a canoe came up the 
river, and had stolen a gig from the men ; but the 
one who returned got it from them again when he 
c'^me up. In the evening Captain LeAvis with 4 meiv 
started by land to see if any white people wxre to be 
fourid. The rest remaii^ed in camp ; and the wea- 
ther continued wet, and the most disagreeable I had 
ever seen»- 
Friday \5th. This morning the v/eather appeared 
to settle and clear off, but tiie river remained stiii 
rough. So we were obliged to continue here until 
about i o*clock, when the weather became ynore 
ealrn, and we loaded and set out from our disagreea- 
ble camp ; went about 3 miles, when w^e came to the 
mouth of the river^ where it empties into a handsome 
bay. Here we halted on a sand btach, formed a 
comfortable camp, and remained in full view of tlie 
ecean, at this time more raging than pacific. One 
of the two men vvho Brst went out came to us here, 
the other had joined Captain- Lewis's party. East 
lijight the Indians had stolen their arms and accoutre- 
ments, but restored" them on the arrivai of Captain 
Lewis and his men in the morning.

wind pretty high 1 We could see the waves, like 
Binall mountains, rolling out in th^ ocean, and pretty 
bad ill the liay.
