338 OTHER TOURS 



ascended to Lake Bouchette, thence to Commission- 

 ers' Lake, and through a chain of smaller lakes to 

 Lac ificarte, the headwaters of the river. A portage 

 thence of only twenty acres leads to Lac Najoua- 

 louauk, twelve miles long, which is the headwaters of 

 the Bostonnais Biver. A few small lakes must now 

 be traversed, and then a portage of twenty-eight acres 

 brings the traveller over the height of land between 

 Lake St. John and the St. Lawrence, and into a chain 

 of small lakes that pour their surplus waters into 

 Lake Edward. Thence there are two or three routes, 

 all well known to the Indians, for reaching the Batis- 

 can, portions of which stream must be portaged on 

 account of its falls and exceedingly rapid water.
