discharge of a volley of small arms, which were fired by our party in front of
our quarters to usher in the new year; this was the only mark of rispect which
we had it in our power to pay this celebrated day. our repast of this day tho'[
better than that of Christmass, consisted principally in the anticipation of
the 1st day of January 1807, when in the bosom of our friends we hope to
participate in the mirth and hilarity of the day, and when with the zest given
by the recollection of the present, we shall completely, both mentally and
corporally, enjoy the repast which the hand of civilization has prepared for
us. at present we were content with eating our boiled Elk and wappetoe and
solacing our thirst with our only beverage pure water."

guide made a suden halt, pointed to the top of the mountain and uttered the
word Pe Shack which means bad, but must pass over that mountain, I hesitated a
moment & view this emence mountain the top of which was obscured in the
clouds and the assent appeard. to be almost perpindecular; as the small Indian
parth allong which they had brought emence loads but a fiew hours before, led
up this mountain and appeared to assend in a sideling direction, I thought more
than probable that the assent might be torerable easy and therefore proceeded
on, I soon found that the become much worst as I assended and at one place we
were obliged to support and draw our selves up by the bushes & roots for
near 100 feet, and after about 2 hours labour and fatigue we reached the top of
this mountain*, from the top of which I looked down with estonishment to behold
the hight which we assended, which appeared to be 10 or 12 hundred feet up a
mountain. we met 14 Indians men and women loaded with the oil and blubber of
the whale.” Clark
