CHAPTER Vn. 



A JOURNEY TO KING GEOKGE'S 

 LAKE, NEWFOUNDLAND. 



A GLANCE at any map of Newfoundland will 

 show that in the interior of the south-western 

 portion of that island there is a small lake 

 named after King George the Fourth, out of which 

 there runs a river connecting it with Red Indian 

 Lake by way of Lloyd's Pond. 



King George the Fourth's Lake, I was in- 

 formed by Mr. Howley, the veteran explorer and 

 surveyor of so much of the interior of New- 

 foundland, had been discovered by a surveyor 

 named Cormack in about 1830, and named 

 by him after the reigning sovereign of that 

 time.
