  Wednesday 4th December 1805 Some rain all the last night, this morning it 
  increased with the wind from the S# E# I Set out Sergiant Pryor and 6 men 
  to the Elk he had killed with directions to Carry the meat to a bay which 
  he informed me was below and as he believed at no great distance from the 
  Elk, and I Should proceed on to that bay as Soon as the wind would lay a 
  little and the tide went out in the evening ¬ the Smoke is exceedingly 
  disagreeable and painfull to my eyes, my appetite has returned and I feel 
  much better of my late complaint ¬ a Spring tide to day rose 2 feet 
  higher than Common flood tides and high water at 11 oClock ¬ Hard wind 
  from the South this evening, rained moderately all day and the waves too 
  high for me to proceed in Safty to the bay as I intended, in Some part of 
  which I expected would be convenient for us to make winter quarters, the 
  reports of seven huntes agreeing that elke were in great abundance about 
  the Bay below. no account of Capt# Lewis. I fear Some accident has taken 
  place in his craft or party
