Alexander Mackenzie Voyages From Montreal

_Monday, 3._–We proceeded with a strong Westerly wind, at four this
morning, the weather being cloudy and cold. At twelve it cleared up and
became fine; the current also increased. The water had fallen so much
since our passage down the river, that here, as in other places, we
discovered many shoals which were not then visible. We killed several
geese of a larger size than those which we had generally seen. Several
Indian encampments were seen along the river, and we landed at eight for
the night.
