1 April: In the morning, clear. The wind [stormed] out of the west. [At] seven thirty, 33°F [0.6°C]. Mató-Tópe came early, then Péhriska-Rúhpa, who stayed sitting until evening, stuck [to us] like a burr. The news of the attack by the Assiniboines was confirmed: the Hidatsas and Mandans had abandoned a poor woman who was [then] captured by the enemy. Today the Mandans shot the first wild geese. Ducks were seen as well. [At] twelve o’clock, 43°F [6.1°C]. Stormy wind all day long out of the west. Pieces on the edge of the ice broke loose; their color [was] blackish. In the evening the wind abated. At nine o’clock, 28°F [−2.2°C]. Night clear and calm.
