I obtained one Sea Otter skin from this party.

this Cheif leaning that we were in want of a canoe some days past, had brought us one for sale, but being already supplyed we did not purchase it. we had not proceeded more than a mile before we met Delashelwilt and a party of 20 Chinnooks men and women. we accordingly distributed the baggage and directed the canoes to be launched and loaded for our departure.- at 1 P.M. the wind is pretty high but it seems to be the common opinion that we can pass point William. Colter arrived, having killed one Elk but so distant that we could not send for the meat and get arround Point William today, we therefore prefered seting out and depending on Drewyer and the hunters we have sent forward for meat.
