The sides of the fish are also spotted, but, owingto the dark colour of the skin, the spots are not easily dis-cernible. When the canoe overtook me I decided tocamp, as the water was very suitable for fishing. A singlenet which was set took three large lake-trout and severaltoolabies almost immediately; the trout weighed 17 lbs.,18 lbs., and 20 lbs., respectively. Blueberries, now commencing to ripen, promised an ad-dition to our food supply, though not a very important north these berries appear to be very watery. At FortChurchill it was found impossible to make jam of View of Dismal Lake.
