  5th of May Sunday 1805 We Set out verry early and had not proceeded far 
  before the rudder Irons of one of the Perogus broke which detained us a 
  Short time Capt Lewis walked on Shore this morning and killed a Deer, 
  after brackfast I walked on Shore Saw great numbers of Buffalow & Elk 
  Saw also a Den of young wolves, and a number of (frown wolves in every 
  direction, the white & Grey Brant is in this part of the Missouri I 
  shot at the white brant but at So great a distance I did not kill, The 
  Countrey on both sides is as yesterday, handsom & fertile ¬ The 
  river rising & Current Strong & in the evening we Saw a Brown or 
  Grisley beare on a Sand beech, I went out with one man Geo. Drewyer & 
  Killed the bear, which was verry large and a turrible looking animal, 
  which we found verry hard to kill we Shot ten Balls into him before we 
  killed him, & 5 of those Balls through his lights This animal is the 
  largest of the Carnivorous kind I ever Saw we had nothing that could way 
  him, I think his weight may be Stated at 500 pounds, he measured 8 feet 
  71/2 In. from his nose to the extremity of the Toe, 5 feet 101/2 in. 
  arround the breast, 1 feet 11 Ins. around the middle of the arm, 3 feet 11 
  Ins. arround the neck his tallents was 4 Inches &3/8 long, he was good 
  order, and appeared verry different from the Common black bear in as much 
  as his tallents were blunt, his tail Short, his liver & lights much 
  larger, his maw ten times as large and Contained meat or flesh & fish 
  only ¬ we had him Skined and divided, the oile tried up & put in 
  Kegs for use. we Camped on the Stard Side, our men killed three Elk and a 
  Buffalow to day, and our Dog Cought an antilope a fair race, this animal 
  appeared verry pore & with young.
