It is probable that wo such sight as the departure of this flotilla with its beautiful freshly varnished and paint- ed canoes, oars and paddies glancing in the bright sunshine, amid cheers amd fusilades, had ever been seen at the wharl of Norway House since the time of the magnificent Bir George Simpson the hey«ddV of the power and prosperity of the Hudson's Company, Juries: the third and fourth decades of last century. It will live long in the memory of the spectators and, it may well be, in the annals of Canada, The wind was still fairly strong and the paddling across Little Playgreen Lake, about five miles, proved pretty hard work. But this oncg passed we entered smoother water in the eastern branch of the Nelson River about five more miles of which we traversed be- fore we encamped after no more than two and three-quarters hours' work for that day. We found for our pur- pose 5 beautiful rocky promontory op- posite an unusually well-wooded shore ying in the evening light and soon in the soft glow of a fine sunset, the wind having by this time entirely drop- ped.: The Indians quickly made our camp after bringing in plenty of fire- wood, but on this single occasion they did not set up the tents, the ground being so good and the weather so fine. Every other night the tents rose as if by magic under their deft hands. It did not take them more on the average than a quarter of an hour. While they were so engaged the party bathed in the river and sat smoking cigarettes and looking at the sunset until the evening meal was ready. At a little distance from us the Indians had & camp fire of their own, and af- ter dinner we heard the hymn of their evening prayers arising from the circle around tue smoke and flame. They were all good Methodists and never missed either vespers or mating, one or other of their number always lead ing their devotions in a fashion which to judge by the spund was both ear: nest and eloquent, Their music re minded me strikingly of a Scotch. Highland congregation singing Gaelic psalms. The tunes were the same, and wore rendered in a very similar man- ner of quavering and plaintive solemn- ity. Like Robert Louis Stevenson's old-fashioned precentor, they "kirked the tune into the air w'r' strange con- tortions." Curiously enough their dance-musie, which wé had an oppor- tunity later on of hearing, at Oxford House, is also derived originally from the Highlands of Scotland, being a kind of truncated version of the old recls and country dances which used to be familiar there. The Scotch in- fluences predominating in the personel of the old Hudson's Bay days still live on and echo in the sounds of worship and of mirth which break the silence of the wilderness by those northern streams. The ninth of August was a very ty pical day the description of which may stand in most respects for many mre like it. It was the first time we felt that we were seriously upon our journey. Breakfast was ready at 5 am. By six o'clock all the canoes were packed and we started. The workiny day was in this instance about the average length, namely ten hours, broken by two periods of rest for the purpose of "boiling the ket tle," as it is called, the Indians in- variably making very strong tea of which, too, they generally take a supply with them on board to drink cold from time to time, and eating basen and bannock--a large round very thick Scotch scone--while the rest of the party enjoyed a considerably more varied dict. Besides these pauses there were some five-minute breaks in the continuous paddling at intervals fixed by Comraunder Gersen according to his gwn fancy, the Indians filling their pipes and engaging with much aband- or in outhreaks of Cree {acétions ness which seemed, by the laughter they provoked, to be highly appre ciated. The stoic apathy of the old braves and their austere dignity of demeanor has left but little trace be- hind in their descendents who are al- most as fond of chattering and laugh- ing as the typical negro. During the first spell of work we crossed Sea- forth Portage, eighteen miles from Norway House; where many of us were relioved to find that it was not necessary fo take a share in the serious toil of "packing." All we had to do, unless we felt especially emulous, was to get promptly out of the canoes the one thing about which the In dian ever manifested the slightest im- paticnoo--and out of their way while they did this part of the work! Smil- ing and perspiring with the broad band of the tumpline atross their forehead and leaning slightly forward they swimg gaily along under their heavy lo ge, bacon and Pour-sacks, sometimes up to the ankles in boggy ground, at a smart dog-trot wherever the footing was at ail reasonably good. Meantime we had an opportunity of exploring thd innemerable varieties of berries in which these forests abound as well ax their m:ny flowers and mosses.

We © had hoped to push ahead out of this dreary regich to higher and more cheerful ground at the height of land which divides ihe Fchamamish from the Haves river, but we had no such luk.

It "was for my own part with rather a sinking heart that I made my bed (hut night.

His excellency seemed that night to my surprise fo be even rather more cheerful than usual. This day. the ninth of Augusi, was as have said, typical, in the sense that it hearly. exhausted all the vasety of our experience during the overland part of our journey. We had portaged, sailed, paddled down stream (the Nelson) and ar waters, below the. falls. From this, for five 'days of almost monotonous sunshine and general prosperity, from the 11th to the 15th, we went through a whole endless series of reedy island. ed lakes and lovely rivers, their low shores covered with the characterise and rather valueless timber of this region, . mostly spruce, poplar and tamarak. The longest lakes were Kpoe Inke, fifty miles long, and, ng. Oxford lake, which is thirty-five. Late in the evening of the 12th, after an unusually splendid sunset on the wa- ter, as we paddled along, we reached Oxford House, at the head of its lake, another station of the great company and the only settlement throughout the whole sketch of 108 miles from Norway House to York¥Factory. Sir John Franklin mentions it as an al ready decaying station in 1519. The Indians made the most of their stay here--we did not leave till the after- noon of the 13th--brightening up the links of old acquaintanceship and jo- dulging in a good deal of dancing and general jollifieation, During these days we had a great deal of the de- lightful rest and exhilaration of sail- ing. Once on the fifteenth, as we crossed an arm of Knee lake, the Wind freshened and gave us a little thrill of excitement. The cances shipped some water, one mast snapped to the great amusement of the Indians not involv- od, and we realized for a moment that our journey was not altogether tacks ing in the spice of danger. During those nights we had many displays of the northern lights. But they were not specially brilliant. Strange to say, HUDSON BAY INDIANS WHO GRE HOU ETED EARL GREY AT NORWAY SE. paddled up stream (the Echamamish) mn sunshipe and shower, exhilaration and depréssion. Dut in the fact that thefe was any rain it was almost, and in respect that it had ix moments of depression the day; so far from being typical was altogether unigue, On the next day we ascended what remained of the Echamamish, which narrowed ever as we went ob, passing thrée primitive little dams built for the York boats. Curiously enough Sir John Franklin, writing shout 1819, mentions dams at the same place con structed, however, in those duvs by beavers ! His party broke through one, but the industrious creatures, he was assured, would repaiz it in a sin gle night. . During the second march after the morning boiling of the kettle we made the "height of land," the watershed between 'the Echamamish and the Hayes rivers, where, alter swinging up one water You Carry your canoe over a rock some fifty yards wide to re- embark and move along under sail, it may be. dn vood deep water on the other: side, 'First the laboring oar," {as Homer "and then the boon breozs etiow.

Un the following day there wére repeated showers of rain, driving clouds and a good denl of heavy winl, It was not so bad as to make it impossible forge ahead. But as the next star wis to he the great day of portages, through bush and swamp, it was de vided that it would be too uncomfort able to proceed and we wisely sat tight -- in the perfect comfort of our tents listeming luxuriously to the wing anl the ineficetual patter of the cain drops on the water-proof canvas and indulging in reatling or conversa tion. With the exception of two hours of violent head-wind on Oxford Lake this was the one stop in the whole course of our travels by land or sea imposed upon us by unfavorasle cons ditions of weather.
