The elk, almost the only game in this part of the 
country, are chiePiy gone to the mouatauis. This day 
continued fair throughout. 
Friday 7th, This was a wet morning, and some? 
showers fell occasionally during the day. Among 
our other difficulties we now experience the want of 
tobaiGCO) and out of 3o persons composing our par- 
ty, there are but T who do not make use of it : we 
use crab-trec bark as a substitute. In the evening 
one of our hunters came in and had killed an elk 
a considerable distance off. 
Saturday Hth. Some snow fell last night, and the 
morning was stormy and disagreeable. About ^ 
o'clock another of our hunters came in, who had 
killed 2 elk ; and after some time the remaining 
three, having killed but one deer, and lost their 
©anoe. 
Sunday 9 tk. This morning 10 men went out to 
hunt. There were some light showers of snow this* 
forenoon, but during the greater part of it the sun^ 
shone clear and warm. In the afternoon some of the 
natives came to visit us, and hrought some of the 
small fish, which they call Ullcen. Tv/o hunters 
came in in the evening, but had not killed any thing. 
The men sent to fish are still absent, owing perhaps 
to the high sv^ells m the bay> The Indians remained 
ih the fort all night. 
On the 10th we had changeable weather, with 
snow showers. At noon two more hunters went 
©ut.

as yesterday. Three men w^eut across the bay in a 
canoe to hunt^ Two other hunters came in but had 
killed nothiag. At noon cur Eshermen returnee!

12th was pleasant; but tov/ards the evening the da}? 
becanie cloudy. Anotl^ev huuter went o^So.
