Cañon Lodore/Disaster Falls
One of the three boats is dashed to pieces at Disaster Falls. The expedition loses a third of its food supply and much else, including three of their barometers and many personal belongings. George Bradley writes in his journal, "It is a serious loss to us and we are rather low spirrited [sic] tonight."
