Toward break day this morning we were visited by a dreadful hurricane of wind which tore up some of the largest trees by the roots, broke others and nearly blew down the fort which was only saved by the shelter of the woods to windwards and the props we placed to support it. Febru{}'1'y 1834. ::\londay 3rd. All hands employed squaring the frame wood of the bastions that already prepared being useless. It is this clumsy manner we have all alolJg got on with our work for want of skilful workmen - most of the jobs having to be done twice before they will any thing like answer.

Traded a few beaver and otters. ,Veather rather more settled than for some days past. No trade. Friday 7th. The people employed as yesterday. Weather rainy. No trade.

Traded a few skins and a little venison - sufficient to give one days rations to the people, which is the first rations, the produce of the place they have had. February 1834. Sunday 9th. Rained during the night but clear and i'(~rene in the day time. 30
