The place today: Fort Clatsop, winter quarters
of the Chinook Indians came to the fort with hats to trade.
They are made of the cedar bark and silk grass, look hand-
some and keep out the rain. But little rain fell to day, and
in the evening we turned out the natives as usual, and they all
went home.
