51' 41" N.This is a small stream, which issues from a neighbouring lake.

We encamped near to Musquito Point, having walked about nine miles.

The termination of the day's journey was a great relief to me, who had been suffering during the greater part of it, in consequence of my feet having been galled by the snow-shoes; this, however, is an evil which few escape on their initiation to winter travelling.

It excites no pity from the more experienced companions of the journey, who travel on as fast as they can, regardless of your pain.
Mr.Isbester, and an Orkney man, joined us from Cumberland House, and brought some pemmican that we had left behind; a supply which was very seasonable after our recent loss.

The general occupation of Mr.Isbester during the winter, is to follow or find out the Indians, and collect their furs, and his present journey will appear adventurous to persons accustomed to the certainty of travelling on a well-known road.
