Sunday June 22ed. 1806.
this morning by light all hands who could hunt were sent
out; the result of this days perfo[r]mance 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 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 occured in the course of this day. the last evening
was cool but the day was remarkably pleasant with a fine
breize from the N. W. neither Drewyer Shannon nor Whitehouse
returned this evening. Potts's legg is inflamed and very
painfull to him. we apply a poltice of the roots of Cows.
