There was also a portage route from Lac des Aigles into the 

 Touradif branch of the Rimouski, as shown by Greenleaf's map of 

 Maine of 1844, and by Tiarks account of his visit in 1820, in his Report 

 in the " Case of the U. S. laid before the King of the Netherlands. " 



The Ashberish-Trois Pistoles route is fully mapped on the 

 Sproule 1787 map, (Map No. 14). This map, in conjunction with 

 Pote's journal shows that Pote was taken to Quebec by this route, 

 not by the Touladi route as the editor of the Journal supposed. The 

 proof of this is found in the fact that they made a portage directly

 '••^m Lake Temiscouata, which is necessary by the Ashberish route, 

 but not by the Touladi route; for the latter stream is, except for a 

 small fall near its mouth, easily navigable at all seasons far up its 

 course, as I know personally from having been along it. 



The portage on Greenleaf's map of 1844 from the head of the 

 west branch of Green River into Rimouski is a mistake. Tiarks 

 went through that way in 1820 but his report makes it clear there 

 was no regular portage.
