Dr.Richardson found in the stomach of this animal the remains of a seal, several marmots (Arctomys richardsonii) a large quantity of the liquorice root of Mackenzie (hedysarum) which is common on these shores, and some berries.

There was also intermixed with these substances a small quantity of grass.
We got again into the main inlet and paddled along its eastern shore until forty minutes after eight A.M.when we encamped in a small cove.

We found a single log of driftwood; it was pine and sufficiently large to enable us to cook a portion of the bear which had a slight fishy taste but was deemed very palatable.
August 10.
We followed up the east border of the inlet about twenty-four miles and at length emerged into the opens sea, a body of islands to the westward concealing the channel by which we had entered.

Here our progress was arrested by returning bad weather.

We killed a bear and its young cub of this year on the beach near our encampment.
