Rapids on River. 



Birch Portage : portage about 

 250 yards, but we let down 

 canoe at head of rapid and ran 

 the remainder. 



1st Rapid, Trout Rapid : made 



short portage. 

 2nd Rapid, Rock Trout Rapid : 



made portage of about 250 



yards. 

 3rd Rapid, Light Rock Rapid : 



ran. 

 4th Rapid : ran ; but the rapid 



very stony and dangerous. 



1st Rapid, Great Devil Rapid : 

 portage nearly a mile in length. 



2nd Rapid, Little Devil Rapid : 

 made two portages. Cut new 

 portage path at last : this 

 portage is apparently evaded 

 by the Indians, who may use 

 one of the other channels 

 here formed by islands. 



3rd Rapid, Otter Rapid : portage 

 about half a mile long, but we 

 let canoe down along shore 

 until near foot of rapid, then 

 made short portage over rocky 

 point. It proved a rough, 

 difficult river-bottom to wade 

 down. 



1st Rapid, Stony Mountain 

 Portage : short portage, but 

 we did not use it, for we let 

 canoe down, side-channel. 



2nd Rapid, Mountain Portage : 

 made short portage. 



Stanley Mission Post at lower 

 end of this lake. 



Grave Rapid : ran ; but nearly 

 upset in swells in middle of 

 rapid — on being drawn into 

 them by current. 



Fall : portaged over quarter of 

 a mile.
