On the 13th we renewed our journey and parted from Mr.Clark, to whom we were much obliged for his hospitality and kindness.

We soon reached the Methye Portage, and had a very pleasant ride across it in our carioles.
The track was good and led through groups of pines, so happily placed that it would not have required a great stretch of imagination to fancy ourselves in a well-arranged park.
