Yesterday evening Charbono an LaPage returned, having made a broken voyage. their led horse which had on him their merchandize, feell into the river from the side of a steep clift and swam over; in swiming the river the horse lost a dressed Elkskin of LaPages and several small articles, & their paint was destroyed by the water.
the indians...made an attempt esterday morning to pass the river to them on a raft with a parsel of roots and bread in order to trade with them; the indian raft struck a rock, upset and lost thir cargo; the river having fallen heir to both merchandize and roots, our traders returned with empty bags.
