Alexander Mackenzie Voyages From Montreal

_Wednesday, 9._–We embarked at five in the morning, and our canoe was
damaged on the men’s shoulders, who were bearing it over the
carrying-place, called _Portage du Chetique_. The guide repaired her,
however, while the other men were employed in carrying the baggage. The
canoe was `gummed at the carrying-place named the _Portage de la
Montagne_. After having passed the carrying-places, we encamped at the
Dog River, at half past four in the afternoon, in a state of great
fatigue. The canoe was again gummed, and paddles were made to replace
those that had been broken in ascending the rapids. A swan was the only
animal we killed throughout the day.
