From subsequent conversation with the Copper Indians we were inclined to suppose this may be the Thlueetessy described by Black Meat mentioned in a former part of the narrative.) We encamped on the shores of a sandy bay and set the nets and, finding a quantity of dried willows on the beach, we were enabled to cook the bear's flesh which was superior to any meat we tasted on the coast.

The water fell two feet at this place during the night.

Our nets produced a great variety of fish, namely a salmon trout, some round-fish, tittameg, bleak, star-fish, several herrings and a flat fish resembling plaice, but covered on the back with horny excrescences.
On the 6th we were detained in the encampment by stormy weather until five P.M.when we embarked and paddled along the northern shore of the inlet, the weather still continuing foggy but the wind moderate.
Observing on the beach a she-bear with three young ones we landed a party to attack them but, being approached without due caution, they took the alarm and scaled a precipitous rocky hill with a rapidity that baffled all pursuit.

At eight o'clock, the fog changing into rain, we encamped.
Many seals were seen this day but as they kept in deep water we did not fire at them.
On August 7th the atmosphere was charged with fog and rain all the day, but as the wind was moderate we pursued our journey; our situation however was very unpleasant, being quite wet and without room to stretch a limb, much less to obtain warmth by exercise.

We passed a cove which I have named after my friend Mr.W.H.Tinney, and proceeded along the coast until five P.M.when we put up on a rocky point nearly opposite to our encampment on the 3rd, having come twenty-three miles on a north-north-west course.
We were detained on the 8th by a northerly gale which blew violently throughout the day attended by fog and rain.
