Extract from a letter from Donald Ross, Esq., Norway House : — 

 " I may as well mention that this post is situated on a branch of the ' Sea Eiver,' 

 or, more properly speaking, the Nelson Eiver, about twenty miles due north from 

 where it leaves the great Lake Winnipeg, and is, as near as I can judge, about four 

 hundred feet above the level of the sea. 



It may be somewhat curious to notice that, although the winds here blow from 

 the South for a greater number of days during the year, than from any other single 

 quarter of the compass, yet the Northerly wind, together with the N. E. and N. W., 

 very far exceeds the Southerly, S. E. and S. W., so that, in reality, the North may 

 be considered as the most prevailing wind ; neither the East nor the West prevails 

 much at any season of the year."
