When the party returned to Station Camp, they were greeted by two of the most important chiefs of the Chinook at that time: Chillahlawil and Comcommoly, whose life was later entwined with the Astor Party and the Hudson Bay Company. Gass observed that “Captain Lewis gave one of them a medal, as he ranked as a chief in the nation.”
He further recorded that,
“One of the men went out to hunt in the morning, and in a short time killed 2 deer. This day continued clear and pleasant throughout. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon Capt. Clarke and his party returned to camp, and had killed a deer and some brants. They had been about 10 miles north of the Cape, and found the country along the seashore level, with Spruce-pine timber, and some prairies and ponds of water.”
