Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — Patrick Gass: May 26, 1806
The party finished building a canoe and launched it into the water. In the afternoon, two hunters returned empty-handed, though they had obtained some roots at a Native village about fourteen miles upriver. The expedition's provisions are now completely depleted, leaving the men with nothing to eat except roots purchased from the local natives at very high prices.
ished our canoe and put her into the water. — In the afternoon
two hunters came in, but had not killed any thing: they had
procured some roots at a village about fourteen miles up the
river. Our stock of provisions is exhausted, and we have
nothing to eat but some roots, which we get from the natives
at a very dear rate.
