this morning by light all hands who could hunt were sent out; the result of this days
perfomance was greater than we had even hoped for. we killed eight deer and three bear. we
dispatched Whitehouse to the Kooskooske near our old encampment above Collins's Creek [Their
camp on the Clearwater.] in order to procure some Salmon which we have understood
the natives are now taking in considerable quantities near that place. we gave
Whitehouse a few beads which Capt. C. had unexpectedly found in one of his waistcoat
pockets to purchase the fish. nothing further worthy of notice occurred in the
course of this day. the last evening was cool but the day was remarkably pleasent
with a fine breize from the N. W. neither Drewyer Shannon nor Whitehouse returned
this evening.-- Pott's legg is inflamed and very painfull to him. we apply a
poltice of the roots of Cows.--

We had a pleasant day. The two hunters went out early and the Indians remained with me
at the camp. At noon the hunters came in, but had killed nothing but one small pheasant.
In the evening they made another excursion, but were unsuccessful.
