Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Canadian Field-Naturalist, 1941, Vol. 55
Friday 27th. This day nearly was lost by our mistaking a channel of the River which led us into a, deep bay at the bottom of which was a small river.156 It appears to be frequented by the Esquimaux. This occurred above Mt. Meadow bank. It was blowing a tempest With rain which prevented the steersman from observing the cur rent in this lake-like expansion of the River. The Wolfe and 9 other rapids were run with whole cargoes; they are all strong, some with whirl pools Which must be dangerous in high water. 2 large bands of Musk Oxen were Seen just before encamping, 2 or 3 deer, 3 wolves, many Canada geese and a hawk.7 We encamped late about 3 miles below the Rapid with Whirlpools and Esq. Marks. A cache of 1 bag pem'n and 2 nets was made at a bold point at the bend of the river above Mt. Meadowbank.
