Lake Fabre Beginning.
In extent extended about 3 miles
To the northward at any from nine
Its east end was a mountain
About 400 feet high. Its N.W. face
Was long and very precipitous. It
At this stage, my gradual. Initially
The lake extended about 9 sight, quite inward.
I crossed this lake in a northerly
Direction and found changes
Channels among slabs. In another
Expanse of the Lake which was
Many circular and about 1/4 miles
In diameter. It contained only
A few small islands crossing this
Lake in a northerly direction. On
Left it by a narrow channel
About 100 yards long and ended
In a small riffle to a smaller
Long Lake. Then through a
Short Channel to a Large Lake
With many rocky reliefs. Some
Of these are high and rocky with
An agreeable number of loose
Boulders scattered over them
In many places within
Tumbling down then stopping ridges
Which shone brightly in the sun.
Lake Rey
Key of Belle.
I passed Northward close to
The E. shore and wound a large bay
As entered a channel having a
Perceptible current northward. A
Burg now nearly formed our encampment
On the left side of this channel
Or what I suppose to be a large
Island. Two others seen at the
Narrower camp. Upwards.
My surf section, which was seen on
The lake shortly before camping
To the park at a distance of several
Miles an even ridge if good sized
Mountain with a range having a
North and south direction.
Sunday Aug 16. Today being a Strong
Sunday" The Indian could not work
So we had to remain in Camp. They
Were able to hunt and pick berries
So helped out on the food supply.
I caught a musk near camp but
Took no other mammals. One of
The Indians frothed a moose near
Camp, but it had been startled by
The dogs and had made off.
The day was mostly fine but the
Wind came up in the afternoon.
