Wednesday Oct. 12. To Belon Pine River We gbr away from Nord St John about mid-afternoon and floated down until dark, cooking and eating our supper on board, and camped on a large island. The country is similar to that above and around St John. The only notable feature was Pine River which came in with a great volume bringing down a great quantity of drift trees. Mr Beaton and Mr Barker state that a few "jumping deer" are found in its vicinity Thursday Oct 13 To D Echafaud R. Started at daylight and drifted down all day. The wind was in our faces at first but toward noon changed to west, and then became warmer. We passed Mud River at the night in the afternoon and just before camping another stream which we suppose is the above. There were few boats about today.
