A LABRADOR SPRING 



to the Indians, and his eagerness for trade has 

 had its effect on the native animals. 



Hind has penetrated into the interior about 

 one hundred and fifty miles by way of the 

 Moisie River. Cabot has explored from the 

 eastern coast to the valley of the George River, 

 while Mrs. Leonidas Hubbard, and following 

 closely in her steps, Dillon Wallace, have 

 travelled up the valley of the Nascaupee from 

 the Northwest River, crossed Lake Michikamau 

 and the height of land and descended the 

 George River to Ungava Bay. 



But the explorer who has traversed Labrador 

 far more than all of these, and one who has 

 added most to our accurate knowledge of the 

 interior, is the Canadian geologist, A. P. Low. 

 He has done his work quietly and unheralded, 

 and the results are buried among the other 

 documents of the Canadian Geological Survey. 

 To tell of all his doings would be long, but 

 among other things he has crossed Labrador 

 in a canoe from south to north by way of Lake 

 Mistassini, the East Main, Kaniapiskau and 

 Koksoak Rivers. He has also ascended the 

 Hamilton River, portaged by the Grand Falls, 

 grand indeed, for they descend 760 feet in 



150
