While Captain Clark led a party of ten down to Cape Disappointment for a fuller view of the Pacific Ocean, three others went hunting. The group traded with local Native Americans for dried salmon and roots. Hunters returned that evening with a deer, two brants, a squirrel, a hawk, and a flounder found on a sandbar.
