This bay [Sequim] opens on the Strait of Juan de Fuca and is now known as Washington Harbor. (Meany, p. 335). These geographic names used by Kautz generally had their origin with either the Vancouver Expedition of 1792 or the Wilkes explorations of 1841.
I met but few whites, as they did not seem to have settled in that vicinity. Mr. Garish introduced me to his partner, a Mr. Powell, who had been away “log-raising” for a new house at Squim bay.20 Powell was a man of adventure. He has been ship-wrecked on Vancouver’s island and had been captured by the Indians, so that his conversation was very interesting. Capt. Moore, a settler at Dungeness, impressed me favorably as an honest man. He corrected some of the erroneous impressions I had received from Garish, and showed himself very anxious to supress the contraband trade with the Indians.
