Saguenay country, Ge. 57 
An exploring survey of this tract of country, was com- 
menced during the last season under the authority of an act 
of the Provincial Legislature. 
It appears from the Report of the Commissioners employ 
ed upon the service and from the documents which accompa. 
ny the Report, that the Saguenay is navigable by vessels of 
any size for a distauee of twenty two or twenty three leagues, 
to Ha Ha Bay, and that it is navigabie by vessels of large 
dimensions for five or six leagues higher up to Chicotimy. 
The harbour of Tadousac would contain it is said, twenty 
five ships of war. The following harbours there is reason to 
believe, are to be found between ‘T'adousac and Chicotimy. 
At La Boulle, about two leagues above Tadousac, is a good 
harbour for vessels against the north west winds, on the north 
east bank of the Saguenay, and a good harbour for boats, on 
the south west side at the place called L'ance 4 la Barque. 
- At three leagues from Tadousac, at the place called La 
Passe-pierres is a good harbour for schooners against north 
west winds. 
At the Bay St. Etienne, obout two leagues from La Boulle 
is a good harbour against north west winds ; and opposite this 
Bay is the Bay 41a Grosse Roche, which is a good harbour 
for shipping. 
“On the same side of the River is the Bay Ollapermuche, 
with a good harbour for boats, and at a small distance from 
it the Ange aux Foins having a good harbour for schooners, 
Opposite the Ange aux Foins is the River Ste. Marguerite, 
itant six leagues from Tedoutsc; having a good harbour as 
gainst all winds.
