Yesterday’s answer:

C   To construct a boat

Tuesday, July 27^th.—The morning was warm, but somewhat cloudy. The bugle sounded as usual for the brethren to go to work, plowing and planting. There was a small company sent back on the road five or six miles with two wagons to get logs to saw up to make a boat. Soon after breakfast two Indians of the Eutaw (Utah) tribe came to camp. They were somewhat slightly clad in skins, and are quite small in stature. J. Redding exchanged a gun with one of them for a horse. Brother G. R. Grant also exchanged a gun for a pony. They gave us to understand by signs, that there was a large party of them about forty miles from here.
