He calm, philosophical, cheerful, and hopeful always -
a wonderful man.
Tuesday, August 25th. - Cold N.E. wind. Rain. Made start. Nasty
portage into Northwest River (?). Wallace turned round and started
to carry his pack back. Wind fair part of time. Part of time
dangerously heavy. Landed on point running out from north shore.
Wigwam poles. Have diarrhoea. All chilled. Not sure of way
ahead, but not worried. Camped at 5 P.M. Nice camp in clump of
balsam. Not craving bread so much. Idleness and a chance to think
make us hungrier. Flies about gone. Proverb - On a wet day build a
big fire.
Wednesday, August 26th. - Temp. at 5 A.M. 40 degrees. Bright and
clear save for one shower in P.M. Started happy. Shot goose with
pistol after long chase. Goose would dive repeatedly. Shot
several times at rather long range. Paddled 20 to 25 miles on big
lake running east and west. No outlet west. Came back blue and
discouraged. Passed our camp of last night to climb a mountain on
N.E. side. Caught very pretty 2-lb. pike trolling. Wallace and I
got supper. George went to climb mountain, found river this side
(west) of mountain, running into this lake from N.W. What is it?
Low's Northwest River? Can't see what else. Glad again. Very
hopeful. Sick and very weak. Diarrhoea. Pea meal and venison and
goose liquor. Better. Bright northern lights.
Thursday, August 27th. - Bright and lightly clouded by spells.
