I never knew, that any European \tz9 fb fond of this as they are o£ that made by tho Northern Indians. On the ninth, as we were continuing our courfe to the Factory, which then lay in the South £a(l quarter, we £iw feveral fmakes to the North £aft, and the fame day fpoke with many Northern Indians, who were going to Knapp's Bay to meet the Churchill floop. Several of thofe Indians had furrs with them, but ha/ving fome time before taken Up goods on truft at Prince of Wales's Fort, were tsdcing that method to delay the payment of them. Defrauds of this kind have been pra^Hfed by many of thofe people with great fuccefs, ever fmce the furr-trade has been eftabliihed with the Northern Indians at Knapp's Bay; by which means debts to a coniiderable amount are annually loft to the Company, as well as their Governor in the Bay. Being deiirous of improving every opportuni- ty that the fine weather alForded, we did not lofe much time in converfation with thofe Indi- ans, but proceeded on our courfe to the South £aft, while they continued theirs to the North Eaft.
