Saturday, March 22nd, 1806. Drewyer and the two Fields brothers departed this morning according to the order given last evening. We sent out six hunters this morning in different directions on both sides of the Netul. About 10 A.M. we were visited by Que-ne-o, alias Commorwool, eight 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. We bought the dog for our sick men, the fish to add to our small stock of provisions, and the skin to cover my papers. These Indians left us in the evening.
The air is perfectly temperate, but it continues to rain in such a manner that there is no possibility of getting our canoes completed so we can set out on our homeward journey. The Clatsops inform us that several of their nation have a sore throat, and one of them has lately died from this disorder. The hunters sent out today all returned unsuccessful, except Colter.
