- Point No Point is on the Kitsap Peninsula. 1 mile beyond the point must still be on the peninsula.
- Norwegian Point is about a mile west of Point No Point. This is a possible candidate for the location of his camp, which he describes as a “mile beyond” Point No Point. Since he is coming from the east, “beyond” likely means heading west.
- Mr. [Charles Carroll] Terry was the town proprietor of New York [Alki], which never grew beyond one house. The first settlers of Seattle located there. They soon moved over to Yesler’s saw mill, on Elliott Bay, and with that for a center, they radiated along the shore, into the woods and over the hills to Lake Washington, laying the foundation of the Queen City of the Sound. We crossed over to Seattle on the 25th before continuing on our way, and there we saw the saw mill and a few blockhouses for the mill hands. These were situated several blocks back from the wharf line of the city, as established after the great fire of 1889.
- An examination disclosed a hole in his head just below the eye, and another one below the chin, which passed through the spine behind the head. The latter must have been my shot, for he could only have been hit so when he was tossing his head. Some Snoqualmie Indians who had come from Hood’s canal visited us and were much interested in our capture.
- Our camp is located on a piece of lowland covered with grass, but behind us is a high bank. This is a camping ground for the Indians who travel up and down the Sound, down which the bear had come to take his bath. The point probably takes its name from the fact that at high water the point is hidden from view. Fortunately the beach is sandy, for after dark the north wind prevailed and the boat was driven ashore; if the bottom had been rocky it would have been injured or possibly ruined.
