About midnight our tent was blown down by a squall and we were completely drenched with rain before it could be repitched.
On the morning of the 1st of September a fall of snow took place; the canoes became a cause of delay from the difficulty of carrying them in a high wind, and they sustained much damage through the falls of those who had charge of them.

The face of the country was broken by hills of moderate elevation but the ground was plentifully strewed with small stones which, to men bearing heavy burdens and whose feet were protected only by soft moose-skin shoes, occasioned great pain.

At the end of eleven miles we encamped and sent for a musk-ox and a deer which St.
Germain and Augustus had killed.

The day was extremely cold, the thermometer varying between 34 and 36 degrees.

In the afternoon a heavy fall of snow took place on the wind changing from north-west to south-west.
