July 30, 1811
We set off early. As we proceeded, the country became more bold, rough, and mountainous. The day being very hot, we encamped early.
July 31, 1811
After breakfast, Mr. Thompson and party left us to continue their journey. Mr. Stuart, in one of our canoes, accompanied him as far as the long narrows. He did not return till late in the afternoon. Thinking it too late to start, we passed the remainder of the day in camp, enjoying the repose which we had so much need of.
On Mr. Thompson's departure, Mr. Stuart gave him one of our Sandwich Islanders, a bold and trustworthy fellow named Cox, for one of his men, a Canadian called Boulard. Boulard had the advantage of being long in the Indian country, and had picked up a few words of the language on his way down. Mr. Thompson thought Cox to be witty.
