The place today: Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt
showers of rain fell. Five more hunters went out to day. In
the evening yesterday two of the natives brought an Indian to
our camp, who had lost the use of his limbs, to see if the
officers could cure him, and to day we gave him a sweat. —
Our interpreter’s child has been very sick, but is getting bet-
ter. In the afternoon the two hunters who went out yesterday
returned ; but had not killed any thing. The weather became
clear and we had a fine evening, and three more hunters went
out.
