hausted, 6 men were sent out in different directions to hunt;
and 3 more were sent to endeavor to procure some fish, as the
natives take a great number of the small fish about 20 miles
distant from the fort by water. Some men were also employed
in repairing the canoes that we may be able to set out on our
return immediately, should our hunters be unsuccessful. The
elk, almost the only game in this part of the country, are
chiefly gone to the mountains. This day continued fair
throughout.
