June 1. Took up across Traps and in the afternoon having finished up all our shunting we proceeded on one way After going a few miles through one of the numerous Channels which form the outlet of the Lake we came to an expanse of water several miles across and the wind being very strong we thought it madavious to attempt opcross it and camped on an Island about half a mile in length, high and ea dinely wooded. A march on its south side separates it from other smaller islands. The ground is cpyt with a dense growth of moss. We set out a lot of Traps and shot several birds. and observed others not previously seen. The place seems to be a favorite one for collecting. May The gundle and myself climbed the cliff and succeeded in shooting one a fine male. We packed a lot 2 specimens at the Fork including nearly everything we had collectek and having laid in some supplies and Closed up our accounts we left the Fort about 5 P.M. and having rounded the point toward the sea Trance outlet of the Lake we camped a few miles from Chippewyan and set out some Traps. having found a few signs of Microtus, which seems to be rare, in the vicinity.
