About Forty Trout, One 16 Inches Long, Biggest Yet.
Caught Most On Fins.
Ate all for noon lunch, stopping at sand-
beach on shore of very pretty little lake expansion.
Had coffee
too. In P.M. we turned west into some long narrow lakes, that
extend into mountains, and have a current coming out. George and
Wallace think from a previous look, that here is a portage trail to
Michikamau's southeast bay. George explored while I worked at
skin. George returned. No good so far as he saw, to cross here,
but he did not do the thing thoroughly. However, I'll let it drop,
for I believe the river goes east and north, and then west and
breaks through mountains to Michikamau. Worried some. Time short
and way not clear, but we'll get there if we have to take the canoe
apart and walk across. May have to stay late on the George, and
have to snowshoe to Northwest River and then across; but if it
comes to that we'll do it. This snowshoe to Northwest River and
then across to the St. Lawrence, by Kenamon and St. Augustine
Rivers, appeals to me. Lots of old wigwams about, summer and
winter. Stove was used in one. I think Indians hunted here.
Caribou tracks on barren mountains.
Tuesday, August 18th. - Temp. 28 degrees at 4 A.M. Clear sky in
morning. Much worried last night and this morning, about way to
Michikamau. Started early, ready to go at the job harder than
ever.
