Columbia near The Dalles, trading for horses — Patrick Gass: April 13, 1806

vided the load of the lost canoe among the 4 that were left,
we renewed our voyage and passed a large deserted village on
the north side. Captain Lewis with the two small canoes,
crossed to the south side, where there is a large village inhab-
ited, to endeavour to purchase a small canoe or two, as we
were very much crowded in the four we had. Capt. Clarke
with the two large canoes continued on along the northern
shore, till we passed Crusate’s river, when the wind rose so
high we could not go on, so we halted and waited for Capt.
Lewis. Two hunters went out about- 3 hours, but killed
nothing. By this time the wind fell and we went on 3 miles
to a better harbour, where we halted on the north side of the
river. Capt. Clarke and 3 men went out to hunt; and Capt.
Lewis having come up and crossed over to us, we fixed our
camp for the night. He got 2 canoes and 3 dogs from the
inhabitants of the large village. They are of the Wey-eh-hoo
nation and have twelve lodges here. At dark Capt. Clarke
and party returned and had killed two deer.
