2 1 6 Some New Voyages 



Lake Frontenac, by making a Land-carriage to the 

 River of Tdnaouate, that fails into that Lake, Upon 

 the South fide of the Bay of Toronto, you fee the Fort 

 call 5 d Fort Sufpoje, which I mentioned in my x^d 

 Letter, and about thirty Leagues to the Southward 

 of that, you had the Country of Theonotttate, which 

 being formerly inhabited by the Hurons, was en- 

 tirely depopulated by the Iroqmje. 



From thence I pafs directly to my Fort, witlv 

 put amufing you with the different Landskips I met 

 with in the fpace of thirty Leagues. That Fort I

 Once in two years the Outawas and the Huron* 9 are 

 wont to hunt great quantities of Beavers upon the 

 confines of the River of Sakinac. Between the Ri- 

 ver I now fpeak of, and MiJJUimakinac y we meet 

 with no place that is worth our regard. As for Mif- 

 filhnak'mac it felf, 1 have already imparted to you 

 all that lean fay of that Poll, which is of fo great
