The place today: Fort Clatsop, winter quarters
agreeable. We intended to have set out to day on our re-
turn, but the weather was too bad. I made a calculation of
the number of elk and deer killed by the party from the Ist
of Dec. 1805 to the 20th March 1806, which gave 131 elk and
20 deer. There were a few smaller quadrupeds killed such as
otter and beaver; and one racoon. The meat of some of the
elk was not brought to the fort.
