over the bar and although perfectly drenched and the bidarra half full of water we pulled into the bank where as I feared there is plenty of
ice, the river being frozen, & it is impossible to get up to Ulukuk now by water. Take up the flour and sugar & leave the rest of the goods in the
boat which we haul up. Get tea & flapjacks from Popoff the bidarshik who with Ostraskoi are the only Russians here. Two rabbatniks & a woman
comprise the entire force at present.
Blankets, clothes etc are all dripping. Popoff kindly lends me a parki and a pair of boots
and I soon turn in. 
Thus ends the worst trip ever made between the Redoubt & Unalakleet by any of us. The goods however are not much injured, and we are all well. There are very few Indians here now; all
off hunting deer.
