June 5 Jack up our traps and after preparing the more desirable of our mammoles we broke camp and crossing the small Lake where we were we proceededeam down the Roche River We had dinner on the left bank of the river Beyond the frange of willows and poplars which occupied the immediate bank was a large marsh where I shot a gansoeles & Agilamo and observed several other species. Resuming our paddles and p court down the river until nearly night when we put ashore on the right bank in a grove of heavy spruces From this point a postage is sometimes made to a marsh which connects with its river by a creek several miles below thereby cutting across a bend This pond where we camped is only a short distance above the mouth of the Peace River. The upper part of the river passed through today is narrow and winding and forged mainly with willows and elders with swampy shore Here and there occur outcrops gerics others a few spruce pine pines occur. The river passed through in the afternoon is wider and generally forged with Poplars with and underground melons other shrubs. There and there are stretches of the White Spruce which at the place where we camped were very tall and reached a diameter of two feet in eds instances. I set out a line of traps and shot a ringneck duck (Aythya Cleriis) at a small pond in the forest. My brothers being sick was unable to set traps and return early but I hunted until stopped by darkness
