This circumstance induced us to give the name of Image-canoe to the large island, the lower end of which we now passed at the distance of nine miles from its head." Here they had their first full view of Mt.

St.Helen's, sometimes called Mt.Ranier.The peak is in Washington and is 9,750 feet high.

It has a sugar-loaf, or conical, shape and is usually covered with snow.

The narrative of the expedition continues as follows:-- "The Skilloots that we passed to-day speak a language somewhat different from that of the Echeloots or Chilluckittequaws near the long narrows.
Their dress, however, is similar, except that the Skilloots possess more articles procured from the white traders; and there is this farther difference between them, that the Skilloots, both males and females, have the head flattened.

Their principal food is fish, wappatoo roots, and some elk and deer, in killing which with arrows they seem to be very expert; for during the short time we remained at the village, three deer were brought in.
