Patrick Gass · Exploring for winter camp site, south shore of Columbia · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
The place today: Exploring for winter camp site, south shore of Columbia
coasted round, and turned a sharp cape about a mile; when
we found the swells running so high that we had to halt,
unload our canoes and haul them out on the shore. Here we
remained the afternoon and had a very wet night.
