Fort Clatsop, winter quarters — Patrick Gass: February 18, 1806
Two parties set out from the fort on this stormy day. A sergeant and six men headed to the salt works to retrieve salt and kettles, while Gass led another group of ten to bring in meat. However, severe stormy weather prevented Gass's party from getting around the bay, forcing everyone to turn back and return to the fort without completing their tasks.
jeant and six men set out to go to the salt works, to bring the
salt and kettles to the fort. At the same time I started with
10 more to bring in meat; but the weather was so stormy we
could not get round the bay, and we all returned to the fort.
