Yesterday’s answer:

C   Cooking with dirty water

Tuesday, September 9, 1856, Prairie Creek, Nebraska, Martin Company, John Jaques Journal:   On the 9^th of September, in the afternoon, the company came to a round pit or pond of water. Parched with thirst, the cattle rushed pell mell into the pond and stirred up the mud until the water was thick and black, before the people had supplied themselves for their own use. But it was all the water available, and so it was used for cooking purposes. . .  [The meal] was quite black, but was eaten and drunk nevertheless. At 7 p.m. the camp started for Prairie Creek, nine miles, reaching it between 11 and 12 o’clock, but very glad to get to clear running water, after having been without two days.
