Friday Aug 21 I made a good start with a part wind and taking a N.W. course ran, took a point out then turning more to the N.E. proceeded up the Lake during the forenoon or pond a large island several miles in length on which is a mountain upwards of 500 feet high. I passed between this and the eastern shore. Passing this I sailed nearly all the afternoon in a general N or N.E. course. About the middle of the after- noon I came to a point or island on which are three high hills upwards of 400-500 feet high. The eastern most one is much the largest. They are rocky but not pre- cipitous, and are sharply modelled. I passed & this kept south of and taking a channel, parallel to the range but separated from it by a long island as a broad channel journeyed a westerly course for 3 or 4 miles turned southward through a narrow channel and came to an isthmus or John a mile or so wide. This is a circuit in a westerly direction at from a small bay made a portage of about 100 yards into another bay apparently a part of the same Lake. I then pursued a somewhat circumlocutory general westerly course for two or three miles and encamped at a narrow strait between two small exposures of the channel. Most of the country passed Today is rather low with the exception of the hills mentioned though occasional outcrops of rocks occur all along. At the pond when we are encamped the rocks are clothed with the usual shrubs & trees. Saw more Traces today
