Our encampment was at the lower extremity of Tobin's Falls.

The snow being less deep on the rough ice which enclosed this rapid we proceeded on the 22nd at a quicker pace than usual but at the expense of great suffering to Mr.Back, myself and Hepburn, whose feet were much galled.

After passing Tobin's Falls the river expands to the breadth of five hundred yards, and its banks are well wooded with pines, poplars, birch and willow.

Many tracks of moose-deer and wolves were observed near the encampment.
On the 23rd the sky was generally overcast and there were several snow showers.

We saw two wolves and some foxes cross the river in the course of the day and passed many tracks of the moose and red-deer.
