Alexander Mackenzie Voyages From Montreal

_Thursday, 30._–We renewed our voyage at four this morning, after a
very rainy night. The weather was cloudy, but the cold had moderated,
and the wind was North-West. We were enabled to employ the sail during
part of the day, and encamped at about seven in the evening. We killed
eleven old geese and forty young ones which had just begun to fly. The
English chief was very much irritated against one of his young men: that
jealousy occasioned this uneasiness, and that it was not without very
sufficient cause, was all I could discover. For the last two or three
days we had eaten the liquorice root, of which there is a great
abundance on the banks of the river. We found it a powerful astringent.
