around among the islands at the head of Nitchell Bay and camped late in the evening just above the marrows. - june 14 - Got up at 3 o'clock and got off just as the tide turned so we had no trouble in getting three the rapids but the water was pretty swift by the time we got down to the Indian village at the mouth of the inlet, as the tide was falling fast. On the west side of Danger point I found a Duck Hawk nest. It was near the top of a cliff about 100 ft. above the breakers. I fired 3 shots at the hawk but didn't hurt it. We went on down to Killiamoo and got there about 6 o'clock in the A.M. and found the launch was being repaired. We made camp over by the Indian graveyard and and I shinned birds The rest of the afternoon.
