​Excerpt from Journal of Prince of Wales’s Fort by Chief Factor Anthony Beale
 
Wind in the NW Quad, in the forenoon. Clear to W & SW the latter part of the day, but little of it fine weather. Drawing of lime kiln today, 2 men at work about the stove, had killed by the Indians 2 geese and some small fowl. Set a Tickamegg net & took up the salmon net not catching any fish.
