[Clark] The Plain to North N.W. & N.E. extends without
interuption as far as Can be Seen...if all the timber which

[Whitehouse] some of our men caught Nine Cat fish. 5 of
them was very large, weighing on a average 100lbs.

[Clark] on a hill on the L.S. we found the backbone of a fish,
45 feet long tapering to the tale, some teeth.
