Baturdaij \st March^ 1806; We had a cloudy 
wet morning. I set out with 8 men and 4 hunters ta 
brin^' the meat of the elk that had been killedj 
■which was at a greater distance from the fort than 
any we had yet brought in. There is a large river 
that flows into the southeast part of Hailey's Bay ; 
Tipon which about 20 miles fVom its mouth, our hun- 
ters discovered falls, which had about 6® feet of a 
perpendicular pitch. 
Sunday 2nd, Thi-s day was also wet. The fishing 
party returned at night, and brought with them some 
thousands of the same kind of small iish, we got- 
from the nati\nes a few days ago, and also somer 
sturgeon. 
The Indian name of the river vre were up yester- 
day is Kil-hou-a-nak-kle, and that of the small river, 
which passes the fort Ne-tul. 
Monday 3rd: It rained all this day and the following. 
Our sick men are getting better, but slowly, as they 
have little or no suitable nourishment. 
Wednesday 5th, About 1 2 o'clock tast night the 
rain ceaaed, and we had a fine morning. A numbei* 
of the natives visited us ; and at night our hunters 
returned, but had killed n<Jthing. 
Thursday 6th. Our stock of provisions being nearly 
exhausted, 6 men w^re sent out in difTerent directions, 
to hunt ; and three more were sent to^ endeavour to pro- 
cure some fish, as the natives take a great number of 
the small fish about 20 miles distant from the fort by 
water. Some men were also employed in repairing 
the canoes that we may be able to set out on' our return 
^n^ediateiy, should our hunters be unsuccessM^
