The party set out early on a wet morning, traveled about a mile, and then crossed the river, passing several islands along the way. After crossing, they reached a small Native village where they obtained some Wapto roots from the inhabitants. They continued on, coasting down the south side of the bay throughout the day in wet and unpleasant weather. In the evening, the group made camp for the night.
