The place today: Exploring for winter camp site, south shore of Columbia
wet; but we set out early, went about a mile and then crossed
the river; passing in our way several islands. Immediately
after we crossed we came to a small village of the natives, and
procured a few roots, called Wapto, from them, and then
proceeded on, coasting down the bay on the south side. The
whole of the day was wet and unpleasant, and in the evening
we encamped for the night.
