Lewis: March 22, 1806
Drouillard and the Field brothers set out as ordered the previous evening, and seven hunters were dispatched in various directions north of the Netul River. Four Clatsops and a Tillamook visited around 10 A.M., selling dried anchovies and a dog. Despite mild temperatures, persistent rain prevented finishing the canoes. Chief Comowool visited at noon with three Clatsops; the party gave him their houses and furniture in gratitude for his hospitality. Hunters returned empty-handed except Colter, still out. The captains decided to depart the next day regardless, sealing the canoes temporarily with mud. Huckleberry leafing signaled spring.

Saturday, March 22nd, 1806. Drewyer and the Fields brothers departed this morning according to the order given last evening. We sent out seven hunters this morning in different directions on this side of the Netul. About 10 A.M. we were visited by four Clatsops and a Killamucks; they brought some dried anchovies and a dog for sale, which we purchased. The air is perfectly temperate, but it continues to rain in such a manner that there is no possibility of getting our canoes completed.
At 12 o'clock we were visited by Comowooll and three of the Clatsops. To this chief we left our houses and furniture. He has been much more kind and hospitable to us than any other Indian in this neighborhood. The Indians departed in the evening. The hunters all returned except Colter, unsuccessful. We determined to set out tomorrow at all events, and to stop up the canoes temporarily with mud, halt on the first fair day, and pay them. The leafing of the huckleberry reminds us of spring.
