203 JOURNEY TO THE SHORES 



small deer which St. Germain had killed ; and 

 sent men in pursuit of some others in siglit, but 

 with which they did not come up. Re-embark- 

 ing, we passed the river without perceiving it, 

 and entered a deep arm of the ■ sound ; which I 

 have named Baillie's Cove, in honour of a relative 

 of the lamented Mr. Hood. As it was too late to 

 return, we encamped, and by walking across the 

 country discovered the river, whose mouth being 

 barred by low sandy islands and banks, was not 

 perceived when we passed it. Course and dis- 

 tance from Galena Point to this encampment were 

 S. E. I S.-— forty-one miles. 



From the accounts of Black-meat and Boiieau 

 at Fort Chipewyan, we considered this river to 

 be the Anatessy ; and Cape Barrow to be the 

 projection which they supposed to be the N.E. 

 termmation of America. The outline of the coast, 

 indeed, bears some resemblance to the chart 

 they sketched; and the distance of this river 

 from the Copper Mine, nearly coincides with 

 what we estimated the Anatessy to be, from their 

 statements. In our subsequent journey, however, 

 across tlie barren grounds, wo ascertained that 

 thi.^ conjecture was wrong, and that the Anatessy, 

 which IS known to come from Rum Lake, must 

 fall mtothe sea to the eastward of this place.
