Leave about 2 1/2 and push on tracking a good deal. River quite narrow and high hills of mountains of granite & trap on each side, Poplar & willow on top & spruce on sides. Meet the Indians we sent up to overtake Antoine Houle who instead of going on, stopped to shoot two [[saccati?]] and of course did not see him. Get some fresh meat from them and go on came to the rapids about midnight and track by them without much trouble. There are more farther on the Indians say. The mosquitoes are very bad, unendurable without net and gloves. Take tea at
