E. B. Delabarre, Ph. D. 121 



North of us and eastward, much nearer apparently than 

 'Nachvak, was the beautiful indented and island-broken bay 

 of Komaktorvik. From the head of the bay a broad valley, 

 holding a large river in its midst, extended far to the west. 

 A little west of north, not far beyond us, and cutting ofif a 

 portion of the valley of Komaktorvik, was another detached 

 lofty mountain. Beyond this and the valley on the north 

 were peaks whose summits were concealed by a continuous 

 low blanket of clouds. Far off to the northwest was the 

 Torngaets range,* stretching from the Atlantic side across 

 toward Ungava Bay, its beauty similarly half-concealed. An 

 enormous raised plateau lay between the Komaktorvik val- 

 ley and it. To the westward, beyond the Goratsuk valley, 

 and again more to the south, were impressive groups of moun- 

 tains, some of which seemed to us to rise probably to the 

 height of seven or eight thousand feet. Immediately south, 

 a thousand feet below, was the broad mass of Fall Mountain, 

 and beyond it Ford Mountain, and still beyond the grand 

 collection of mountains on the other side of Nachvak, with 

 some of which we had made close acquaintance on our walk 

 from Hebron. East of Ford, southeast and east from us, a 

 range, at first round-topped and further on more sharp and 

 jagged, limited our view and doubtless bordered on the sea. 



At last we turned regretfully away and started to retrace 

 our course. It was then 5.30. We went down the ridge, 

 up around the summit of Fall Mountain to the right, across 

 its broad top, and down over its broken rocks as rapidly as 



* So designated on Weiz's map, for which see Packard's Labrador 

 Coast, p. 226. Daly proposes the appropriate term "Torngat Range" as 

 the name for the entire mountain system between Hebron and Cape 

 Chidley, which he regards as a structural and orographic unit.
