I Swampy Lake, which we reached about 4 o'clock. Paddled up the Lake until nealy Sunset when we camped at a point. Where we camped on July 6. Put up the tent and in the evening made up what specimens we had on hand, about 20. Have all my traps set in from many places and hope to get some good specimens. Are trying to trap as much as possible as we collected but little in this region on the way down seems to lack time. Left 6. T“ok two species of Gray richardson and a small one, a good series of Eusts and a small. Left Camp at 6:30 and soon passed out of Swampy Lake into the Jack River which we ascended making 4 portages and, putting up many rapids. Reached Knee Lake about 4. P.M. and found a stiff breeze in our faces so made good progress however and camped about sunset on a point some 8 or 10 miles from the outlet. Set out 200k of my traps but do not consider the place very favorable for trapping. Sept 7 Took up my traps but did not catch much. A strong head wind was blowing and after paddling a couple of hours and making but a few miles it became so strong that we did not consider it safe to proceed farther and landed on a small island not far from the eastern shore of the Lake. Here we remained until nearly night the wind meanwhile increasing to nearly a gale. Toward evening it moderated somewhat and we proceeded on a short esaunt and camped on another Island just before landing
