280 Journal of a Voyage through the 



Sunday 18. As soon as it was light we proceeded on 

 our voyage, and drove on before the current, which was 

 Very much diminished in its strength, since we came up

 exposed a gravelly beach. At eleven we landed at our 

 encampment of the seventh of June, to gum the canoe and 

 <iry our clothes ; we then re-embarked, and at half past five 

 -arrived at the place, where I lost my book of memorand-

 afternoon, and about sun-set we took our station for the 

 night.
