"Many of the Chinooks with Captain Lewis, of whom there were 2 chiefs, Comcommoly and Chillarlawil, to whom we gave medals and to one a flag. One of the Indians had on a robe made of two sea-otter skins. The fur of them was more beautiful than any fur I had ever seen. Both Captain Lewis and myself tried to purchase the robe with different articles. At length, we procured it for a belt of blue beads which the squaw wife* of our interpreter Charbonneau wore around her waist."
