Lewis: June 22, 1806
On a pleasant Sunday with a cool northwest breeze, the expedition sent every available hunter into the field, returning with an unexpectedly successful haul of eight deer and three bears. Whitehouse was dispatched to the Kooskooske River near their old camp above Collins's Creek to trade for salmon the local natives were reportedly catching there, using a few beads Captain Clark had found in a waistcoat pocket. Drewyer, Shannon, and Whitehouse did not return that evening. Potts's leg was inflamed and painful, so a poultice of cous roots was applied.

Sunday June 22nd 1806. This morning at daylight all hands who could hunt were sent out; the result of this 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's Creek in order to procure some salmon, which we have understood the natives are now taking in considerable quantities near that place. We gave Whitehouse a few beads, which Capt. C. (Capt. Clark) had unexpectedly found in one of his waistcoat pockets, to purchase the fish. Nothing further worthy of notice 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 Drewyer, Shannon, nor Whitehouse returned this evening.
