Alexander Mackenzie Voyages From Montreal

_Saturday, 22._–The wind veered round to the Westward, and continued
to blow strong and cold. We, however, renewed our voyage, and in three
hours reached the entrance of the Slave Lake, under half sail; with the
paddle, it would have taken us at least eight hours. The Indians did
not arrive till four hours after us; but the wind was so violent, that
it was not expedient to venture into the lake; we therefore set a net,
and encamped for the night. The women gathered large quantities of the
fruit already mentioned, called Pathagomenan, and cranberries,
crowberries, mooseberries, &c. The Indians killed two swans and three
geese.
