appeared very thankfull for the honor Confured on him and presented us
with a large Sturgion. we Continued our rout up the
river to an old Village on the South Side where we halted for dinner.
we met on the way the principal Chief of the Cathlahmahs,
Sâh-hâh-wâh-cop, who
had been up the river on a trading voyage, he gave us some Wappato and
fish, we also purchased Some Wappato Soon after halted for dinner at an
Old Village <at> on the South point opposit the lower pt. of Fannys
Island. The two Warkiacums who had been pursueing us Since yester day
morning with two dogs for Sale, arrived. they wish
Tobacco in exchange for their dogs which we are not disposed to give, as
our Stock is now reduced to 3 carrots. our men who have
been acustomed to the use of this article, and to Whome we are now obliged
to deny the use of this article appear to Suffer Much for the want of it.
they Substitute the bark of the wild Crab which they Chew; it is very
bitter and they assure me they find it a good Substitute for tobacco.
the Smokers Substitute the iner bark of the redwillow and the saccommis. |
