Fort Clatsop, winter quarters — Patrick Gass: February 26, 1806
With food supplies running low at the winter camp, hunters were dispatched to find game while three other men went to gather the small fish the party had discovered were good eating. The following day, February 27th, brought cloudy and wet weather. Three of the hunters returned to camp, reporting that they had successfully killed an elk, which would help replenish the dwindling provisions.
hunters went out, as our store of provisions was getting small,
and three men went in search of these small fish, which we
had found very good eating. The 27th was a cloudy wet
day. Three of our hunters came in, and had killed an elk.
