whid we had come up where another arm stretched away to the S.W. It is bounded on the NW by a range of hills eminently upwards of 1500 feet high before mentioned It is very irregular in shape with many islands and bays most the islands are high & some steep precipitous slopes. To the W. the lake stretches for several miles and in some places quite broad. On the point while we are here observed Ulmus alnifolia, Aspen, Acerosophylos, Rosa, Rubus (red morn) Juglans nana and cucumbers, Lipargyraca, Lilium (green - blushing) Rubus (buffing) white & black spure Brock Vitis vinifera Mananer, Empitrum various willows, etc Thursday Aug 27 We started shortly after sunrise across the bay to some islands before the wind rose then we had breakfast and then earlier northward with a fair wind keeping with left side of several large islands. and finally crossing to the NW shore and entering an inlet about 1/4 of a mile wide and bounded on each side by rugged rocky hills sparsely wooded except in some of the ravines. We sailed along this for about 3 miles and then as we seemed to be entering a large expanse of Lake and our view was obscured by the smoke of a large fire which was burning to the eastward we went ashore to wait until it cleared away. I set traps and "Coney" the Indian went hunting as we needed meat badly. The place where we landed was on the south or side of the inlet here many NW. and was a gravelly point high beyond the water but over back behind it have where there was a grove of white spruce and a small marshy pond Back of this the hill rose steeply sparsely wooded and with much shrub touch. In the afternoon I went north
