Alexander Mackenzie Voyages From Montreal

_Tuesday, 4._–At four in the morning we renewed our course, when it
was fine and calm. The night had been cold and a very heavy dew had
fallen. At nine we were obliged to land in order to gum the canoe, when
the weather became extremely warm. Numerous tracks of rein-deer
appeared on the side of the river. At half past five we took our
station for the night, and set the nets. The current was very strong
all day, and we found it very difficult to walk along the beach, from
the large stones which were scattered over it.
