Wednesday, Feb. 24th, I went from
Muddy Lake to Goose Bay at John Groves. He asked me if we got dogs
to help us around the coast and to take Mr. Hubbard's body. I said
that we did not yet find teams that could take us around or even as
far as Rigolette.
Thursday, February 25th. - I got to Northwest River.
Sunday, February 28th. - Mr. Wallace and Mr. Bently arrived from
Kenemish. Then I told Mr. Wallace what John Groves had told me,
that he could help us with his team as far as Rigolette any way,
and that he had a good team of dogs.
Friday, April 8th. - Lots of teams from Muddy Lake. Edward Michline
also arrived. He has been at Goose Bay a few days ago, and tells
me that his brother-in-law John Groves said, that if Mr. Wallace
would ask him to help him along, he could go as far as Rigolette
with his team of dogs, as at the time he did not have very much to
do and he could have time to go to Rigolette and back before he had
any particular work to do for himself. Then I told Mr. Wallace
about it, what John Groves has said. He said that he would write a
letter to him and ask him about it.
But Mr. Wallace and Mr. M'Kenzie still thinking of getting the
canoe out, and wanted me to go up the Grand Lake and up by Beaver
Brook, to get the canoe out to Northwest River.
