Enough deep, are regular, from 60 fathoms ht the entrance, to 
5 and 10 fathoms close to the shore. The land on the op¬ 
posite side of the arm is about 2| miles distant. Among the 
skins offered for sale was that of the animal from whence the 
wool is procured, with which the woollen garments made by 
the inhabitants of North-west America are made. These 
appeared evidently too long to belong to any animal of the 
canine race. They were, • exclusively of the head, tail, or 
legs, 50 inches long, and 36 inches broad. The wool 
seemed to be afforded but in a small proportion tothe 
size of the skin. It is principally produced on the back, 
and towards the shoulders, where a kind of crest is formed 
by long bristly hairs, that protrude themselves through the 
wool; and the same sort of hair forms an outer covering to 
the whole animal, entirely hiding the wool, which is short, 
and of a very fine quality. All the skins of this description 
seen by Vancouver’s company, were entirely white, or rather 
of a cream colour; the felt was thick, and appeared of a 
strong texture; but the skins were too much mutilated to dis¬ 
cover the kind of animal to which they belonged. 
Captain Vancouver was here visited by the inhabitants, in 
great numbers; and they appeared in general to be a friendly 
race of people, well disposed for traffic, and honest in all their 
dealings. They discovered great vivacity in their manners; 
and, from their repeated bursts of laughter, it would appear 
that they were well inclined to merriment. The women 
were observed to have a most singular mode of ornamenting, 
or rather of deforming their persons. A horizontal incision 
is made, about three-tenths of an inch below the upper part 
of the under lip, extending from one corner of the mouth to 
the other, entirely through the flesh. This orifice is then by 
degrees stretched sufficiently to admit an ornament made of 
wood, which is confined close to the gums of the lower jaws, 
and whose external surface projects horizontally. These 
wooden ornaments are oval, and resemble a small oval platter 
or dish, made concave on both sides. They are generally 
about three inches long, and an inch and a half broad. 
They are about four-tenths of an inch in thickness, and have 
a groove along the middle of the outside edge, for the purpose 
of receiving the divided lip. These hideous appendages are 
made of fir, and neatly polished, but present a most unnatural 
appearance, and are a species of deformity, and an instance 
of human absurdity, that would scarcely be credited without 
ocular proof.
