Sarah to Luc Faber
Friday Aug 7. Took only Synaptomys in my
Traps. I left early and soon reached
the point where the river leaves the outlet
Cammell River, but took a bay to its
outboard of the outlet bay and after
paddling nearly to its head made a
portage of a few hundred yards over
a ridge to the right, thus avoiding
a long bend of crooked & shallow
river. Paddling down this stream
we soon came to the lake called by
Bell Damaro Neckla Lake, which
is crossed diagonally among the
islands. These and the heavy smoke
which hung over it made it un-
prosperous to see any of its creation
portion which is said to be a
considerable size. On its southwest
shore is a hill of considerable
height and others are seen to the
northwest. There are conical dull
rocky but are molded to them
summits. I encamped on an
island than the stream such
as many fish and set nets as
the provision problem no likely
Luc Faber Damaro Neckla Lake
To be serious unless we can catch
a good many fish.
After which proceeds a few
miles within this lake or passed
through a narrow channel
between the islands, and some
islands where two log houses and
fully a year or too old occupied
a level spot on the right from
current. Stopped either house on
a progress of erection. The place
is said to be a very good place
for fishing. Set out some
traps at our night camp, though
the place is not very favorable.

Saturday Aug 8. I left am camp
on the blue-quit early. Not only
Evotomys in my Traps. We passed
northward among the delta to past
the high peak which is said to
give this lake its name. It is
very rugged and is worked to
its summit, a portion of the
channels among the islands.
upon our boat passed at a
strong current sets out too.
