Clark: June 22, 1806
On a pleasant Sunday with a cool evening and northwest breeze, every available hunter was sent out at daybreak, returning with an unexpectedly large take of eight deer and three bears. Whitehouse was dispatched to the Kooskooke River near their old camp above Collins Creek to trade for salmon the natives were catching there, using a few beads Clark happened to find in his waistcoat pocket. Shannon, Drewyer, and Whitehouse did not return that evening. Potts suffered from an inflamed, painful leg, treated with a poultice of cous root.

Sunday, June 22nd, 1806. This morning at daylight, all hands who could hunt were sent out, and the result of the day's performance was greater than we had even hoped for. We killed eight deer and three bear. We dispatched Whitehouse to the Kooskooske near our old encampment above Collins Creek in order to procure some salmon, which we understood the natives are now taking in considerable quantities near that place. We gave Whitehouse a few beads, which I unexpectedly found in one of my waistcoat pockets, to purchase the fish. Nothing further occurred in the course of this day.
The last evening was cool, but the day was remarkably pleasant with a fine breeze from the N.W. Neither Shannon, Drewyer, nor Whitehouse returned this evening. Potts's leg is inflamed and very painful to him. We applied a poultice of the root of cowes.
