July 8th, 1805

July 8th, 1805

  The iron boat captain Lewis has been working on for so long has failed, he was the only person who was surprised by this. He had been so sure it would work and we had stayed behind for two weeks so he could work on this boat. Thankfully captain Clark was ready for this and had marked several trees for dugouts when captain Lewis would come to his senses. After the sinking of the boat captain Lewis went on a walk alone with his dog Seaman, after a little bit captain Clark sent Drouillard after Captain Lewis to look after him. Hours later when captain Lewis returned he asked about Drouillard, captain Clark told him that he had gone to sleep out with the men tonight. A lie, the first lie I had heard from captain Clark to captain Lewis ever. Next time, said captain Lewis, William if you catch me doing something as prideful as this boat for gods sake stop me. Ill try replied captain Clark, I hope he does!
