TO MT. SYLVESTER WITH THE MICMACS 277 



Indians as the Kesoquit Hills, and to make my outside camps 

 in a droke of woods amongst these mountains, and another 

 still farther to the west in another droke on Shoe Hill 

 Ridge, in the centre of Steve's trapping-ground. Steve had 

 told me that the latter position commanded wide views for 

 miles, which embraced an area to the north from Maelpeg 

 to Mount Sylvester, and along which the main body of 

 travelling deer came every fall. Both these camps would 

 also be central for making expeditions into the unknown 

 territory to the north-east and west.
