We decide to stay at this place for three or four days to make observations.
Several men are out hunting.
Eight or ten hunters went out in different directions. Several articles are spoiled from the wet and dampness. The river Missouri raised yesterday, last night, and today, about two feet. The waters of the Kansas are very disagreeably tasting to me. The stern of the boat struck moving sand and after recovering, we camped on the S.S. late in the evening.
