 Now in the lower Columbia River region, Thompson completes his journey to the Pacific Ocean. He writes in his journal, "Thus I have fully completed the survey of this part of North America from sea to sea." |
| Lesson 6.1: Very Much Agitated These people as well as those of the last village are making use of the seine net, which is well made from wild hemp and grows on rich low grounds. |
| Lesson 6.2: Junction of the Rivers In the afternoon when the river ran to the west-southwest, high mountains came into view. |
| Lesson 6.3: Raging and Hissing We set to work and crossed everything over a tolerable good path to a small sandy bay. |
| Lesson 6.4: A Most Agreeable Change We passed the entrance of the Willamette River. |
| Lesson 6.5: From Sea to Sea We continued our journey and enjoyed with much amusement the seals playing in the river. |
