Tuesday Sept 8. I left our camp in the rainy day and after taking the meat which was about a mile along the shore I sailed eastward along the coast until about 2 in the afternoon when we were forced to put into a bay on account of the wind which had increased very much. I finished drying the meat and I stemmed the snore geese finding it very fast and requiring much work. We came about 75 miles along a barren rocky coast with a few small islands bathing the bay where we camped as fairly wooded with spruce tamarack etc. Some a tamarack about a foot in diameter. I collected gooseberries the first seen on the trip south of 95 Lake. Set out some meat traps. The white spruce are tall and straight. See traces of wolf, molarine, bear, moose and cub near camp Wednesday Sept 9. I left camp about 7 o'clock and sailed with a fair wind nearly continuously until 12, making about 20 miles. We passed westward along the coast passing about half a dozen barrier points with sandy bays finely covered between them. In the afternoon we had nearly reached McVicar Bay and turned southwestward paddling across a broad bay nearly 12 miles. A series of low rocky islands lay toward our right, and on the left several deep bays. We rounded the point and entered McVicar Bay shortly before sunset. At camped on a small bay forward the northwest can be seen the Scented Grass Hills on the north side of the lake, a favorite resort of the Indians. This point high and I said to the hill smoked. Goygle Bear Mountain lies across the Bay on its summit, apparently portentous.
