two miles, doubled a point one mile and a half, Weft by North nine
miles, North-Weft by Weft fix miles, North-North-Weft five miles;
here we landed at fix o’clock in the evening, unloaded, and encamped.
Nets were alfo fetin afmall adjacent river. We had an head wind
during the greater part of the day, and the weather was become fo cold
that the Indians were obliged to make ufe of their mittens. In this

day’s progrefs we killed feven geefe and fix ducks.

At half paft three we renewed our voyage, and proceeded Welt-
North-Weft one mile, round an ifland one mile, North-Weft two miles
and a half, South by Welt three miles, Weft-South-Weft one mile,

killed a couple of geefe, and as many ducks. The rain continued
through the remaining part of the day.
