Patrick Gass: March 23, 1806
The hunter who had stayed out overnight returned in the morning with an elk he had killed. The forenoon was spent dividing and packing the gear among five canoes—three large and two small. At noon the loads were put aboard, and at 1 o'clock the party departed Fort Clatsop. Under fair afternoon weather, they rounded Point William and traveled about 19 miles before camping at the mouth of a creek. There they met the three hunters sent ahead, who had killed two elk roughly a mile and a half away.
