- Page 226 of 310 - First - Home
Fixed moccasins in A.M. and
started portage west. Camped in swamp.
Thursday, September 3rd. - Rain all day by spells. Wind west. Got
up in rain, hating to leave blankets. At breakfast, bread and tea
and venison. I took no tea. Am trying now just venison and fish
broth. May agree with me better than tea. Don't miss sugar much
any more, though I do plan little sweet feeds when I am out. Very
nasty work in rain. Am well again and strong. Worked well.
Portaged and paddled west 4 1/2 miles. Wallace turned round again
and carried pack back to starting point. George and I carried
canoe. Sky cleared in evening. Saw all day big spruce trees.
Country here not burned I think.
Friday, September 4th. - Rain. West wind, Portaged west 1 1/2
miles, with two little lakes to help. Rain all time. Stopped to
let George scout best way to big lake ahead. Thinks it is 3 miles
away. Hope it leads to Michikamau. George and Wallace mending
moccasins. George reports big water about 3 miles ahead. Hope
Low's Northwest River lake expansions. Cannot be far now from
Michikaman. Spent much time over map in P.M. Think we must start
back 1st October to the St. Lawrence, if we can get guides.
Otherwise to Northwest River and then snowshoe out.
Saturday, September 5th. - Rain by spells. West wind, cold. Awoke
in rain. Last three nights have been as clear as crystal,
beautiful moon.
