A JOURNEY TO THE SHORES, £c. 



at this place, that canoes were about to go down to Montreal, I 

 gave all our Canadian voyagers their discharges, and sent them by 

 those vessels, furnishing them with orders on the Agent of the 

 Hudson's Bay Company, for the amount of their wages. We carried 

 Augustus down to York Factory, where we arrived on the 14th of 

 July, and were received with every mark of attention and kindness 

 by Mr. Simpson, the Governor, Mr. M'Tavish, and, indeed, by all 

 the officers of the United Companies. And thus terminated our long, 

 fatiguing, and disastrous travels in North America, having journeyed 

 by water and by land (including our navigation of the Polar Sea,) 

 five thousand five hundred and fifty miles.
