Fort Clatsop, winter quarters — John Ordway: March 15, 1806
Visitors who stayed overnight at the fort were unwilling to sell their canoe. Drouillard and five men were dispatched to the Cathlamet village to try to purchase one. The hunters returned with news of having killed four elk, and all available men went out to retrieve the meat.
