The hills as we passed were high, with steep, rocky sides, with pine and white oak, and an undergrowth of shrubs scattered over them." Leaving the Friendly village, the party went on their way down the river.

Four miles below they came to a small and rapid river which they called the Cataract River, but which is now known as the Klikitat.

The rapids of the stream, according to the Indians, were so numerous that salmon could not ascend it, and the Indians who lived along its banks subsisted on what game they could kill with their bows and arrows and on the berries which, in certain seasons, were plentiful.

Again we notice the purchase of dogs; this time only four were bought, and the party proceeded on their way.

That night, having travelled thirty-two miles, they camped on the right bank of the river in what is now Skamania County, Washington.
