Wednesday 7th.  Trade 157 beaver and a sea otter, nearly all from the Claaset Indians, to whom ,we were more liberal than usual in regard to presents, to induce their speedy return, as their is good ground for the belief that the whole of their stock has not been disposed of.

Wednesday 14th.  Ouvrie returned early this morning having last night encountered Captain Ryan in the Schooner Cadbors at the Poyallip Bay.  The vessel arrived here about 2 PM and brings favorable accounts of the trade at the northern establishments.  There has been no oppositon on the Coast hitherto, not is it now expected.  Captain R. says that Mr. C. F. Finlayson sailed for Vancouver some weeks ago in the Gunnymede.

Thursday 15th.  Taking advantage of the ships being here.  Mr. Heron informed the Indians present that in future our tariff should be two beaver skins for a two and a half pt. blanket.

Friday 16th.  This evening Mr. Heron embarked in the Cadberough taking with him the furs (328) skins - is to set out tomorrow morning for Whidbys Island to survey a spot there spoken of as very suitable for and establishment, and he is accompanied by Pierre Charles, Ouvrie and Annawaskum, who are to return here when the survey is completed.

Instructions are left with me to examine any public dispatches which may arrive and therefore forward them to Mr. Heron.  As Mr. Finlayson, has probably ere now arrived we have since Wednesday been waiting the fulfillment of his promise of sending instruction from depot made to Captain Ryan.

Saturday 17th.  The Cadbourough sailed at an early hour this morning.  Her coming has not caused any concourse of Indians here, a sign that beaver is scarce among these in the habit of trading with us.

Thursday 29th.  The duties of the place as yesterday.  Dr. Tolmie at his own desire, set out on a botanizing excursion towards Mount Renier accompanied by a few Indians whom he employed for the purpose.  A few Indians arrived partly for the purpose of trading, but little was accomplished in that way with them, the raised tariff being the sticking point.

Friday 30th.  The men employed preparing wood for a dwelling house and arranging fort pickets.  Beaver were again offered for sale, at one skin per blanket which, of course, prevented a bargain taking place, as I am firm to the new prices of two beaver per blanket.

Saturday 31st.  The men occupied as yesterday.
