The place today: Fort Clatsop, winter quarters
of the hunters went out in the morning; and in the afternoon
one of them came in, after killing a fine elk. A party of the
men went out to bring in the meat, which is a very seasonable
supply, a number complaining of the bad effects of the fish
diet. Neither the hunters nor the men, who went for the meat
returned. In the evening the weather became clear, and we
had a fine night.
