this morning in different directions on both Sides of the Netul. about 10
A.M. we were visited by Que-ne-o alias Commorwool 8 Clatsops and a
Kil-a-mox; they brought Some dried Anchovies, a common Otter Skin and a
Dog for Sale all of which we purchased. the Dog we purchased for our Sick
men, the fish for to add to our Small Stock of provision’s, and the Skin
to cover my papers. those Indians left us in the evening. the air is
perfectly temperate, but it continues to rain in Such a manner that there
is no possibillity of getting our canoes completed in order to Set out on
our homeward journey. The Clatsops inform us that Several of their nation
has the Sore throat, one of which has laterly died with this disorder. the
