Left Independence, caulked my wagons and floated, tipped the wagon over in the water, lost 4 boxes of 20 bullets, 30 lbs of salted meat, 2 jars of Duffey's Elixir, and 2 yokes.  Went hunting, shot myself and had to clean the wound, tipped the wagon over going down a hill, Rosco broke an arm, party morale was low, I (the wagon train leader) got dysentery and died a slow, horrible, bone-chilled death outside of The Dalles.
