November 10th.. Sunday 1805
Rained verry hard the greater part of last night and continues
this morning, the wind has luled and the waves are not high;
we loaded our canoes and proceeded on passed Several Small
and deep nitch[es] on the Stard. Side, we proceeded on about
10 miles saw great numbers of Sea Guls, the wind rose from
the N. W. and the waves became So high that we were compelled
to return about 2 miles to a place we could unload our
canoes, which we did in a Small nitch at the mouth of a Small
run on a pile of drift logs where we continued untill low water,
when the river appeared calm we loaded and Set out, but was
obliged to return finding the waves too high for our canoes to
ride, we again unloaded the canoes, and sto[w]ed the loading
on a rock above the tide water, and formed a camp on the
Drift Logs which appeared to be the only situation we could
find to lee, the hills being either a perpendicular clift, or Steep
assent, riseing to about 500 feet.[30]
our canoes we Secured as
well as we could. we are all wet the rain haveing continued all
day, our beding and maney other articles, employ our Selves
drying our blankets, nothing to eate but dried fish pounded
which we brought from the falls. we made 10 miles to day
