Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — John Ordway: May 25, 1806
On this Sunday, the party attempted to give a sick Indian a sweat treatment but abandoned the plan because he was too helpless to undergo it. Four hunters set out, two of them crossing the river to the south side in search of game. With the canoe sufficiently burned out, the men continued working to finish shaping it. Two of the hunters returned in the evening having killed nothing.
