128 Sir ALEXANDER MACKENZIE

journal, under date of August 24, the ending of his career as an explorer:

Here my voyages of discovery terminate. Their toils and their dangers, their solicitudes and sufferings, have not been exaggerated in my description. On the contrary, in many instances, language has failed me in the at- tempt to describe them. I received, however, the reward of my labours, for they were crowned with success.
