A journey from Prince of Wales's Fort, in Hudson's Bay, to the northern ocean [microform] : undertaken by order of the Hudson's Bay Company for the discovery of copper mines, a north west passage, &c. in the years 1769, 1770, 1771 & 1772. Indians of North America; Natural history; Indiens; Sciences naturelles. NORTHERN OCEAN. After ftopping four days at this place, Mato* nabbee, and all the Indians who were to accom- panyme to the Fort, agreed to leave the elderly- people and young children here, in the care of fome Indians who were capable of providing for them, and who had orders to proceed to a place called Cathawhachaga, on the barren grounds, and there wait the return of their relations from the Fadlory. Matters of this kind being fettled, apparently to the entire fatisfadlion of all parties, we refumed our journey on the eleventh of May, and that at a much brilker pace than we could probably have done when all the old people and young children were with us. In the afternoon of the fame day we met fome other Nor^ern Indians, who were alfo going to the Fort with furrs; thofe joined our party, and at night we all pitched our tents by the fide of a river that empties itfelf into Doo-baunt Lake. This day all of us threw away our fnow-fhoes, as the ground was fo bare in mod places as not to re- quire any fuch afliftance; but fledges were occa- fionally ferviceablc for fome time, particularly when we walked on the ice of rivers or lakes. The weather on the twelfth was fo exceeding- ly hot and fultry, and the water fo deep on the top of the ice of the above-mentioned river, as to render walking on it not only very troublefome, but dangerous; fo after advancing about five miles we pitched our tents, and the warm wea- ther being likely to continue, the Indians immedi- U 2 aiely.
