to an injury to a shoulder was unable to pole a canoe; and he disclaimed 
any knowledge of Mt. Logan. So the party started upon an equality as 
regards familiarity with the region, following with a horse and cart a recently 
cut logging road up the Cap Chat as far as Pineau River which enters it from 
the west. The central part of the Shickshock Range was clearly visible 
from various points along the road, and standing in the middle of the back¬ 
ground as we left the St. Lawrence was one great dome with a sharp peak 
higher than the rest, thus coinciding with Logan’s account of his mountain, 
“exactly opposite to the lower part of the valley of Chat, and seems to ter¬ 
minate it, looking from the St. Lawrence.” But to the settlers and the 
guides of the salmon fishers along the lower eight miles of the river the 
mountains were wholly undifferentiated. Asked what they called a special 
mountain, then another and still another, they gave the unvarying answer: 
“Oh, that is the Shickshock Mountain;” or occasionally they would apply 
the name Couvert du Chaudron somewhat indiscriminately to any bare- 
topped dome. 
It proved a fortunate circumstance that the party was forced to follow 
the tote road rather than the channel of the river, for about seventeen miles 
from the mouth of the river, in the region of the “Locked Camp,” the road 
passes over high ridges and bluffs, bringing clearly into view to the south 
and east the northern steep wall of the Shickshock Range. It was evident 
that Logan’s country was in sight, but falling into the same error as Cole¬ 
man the party, passing the proper spot from which to strike off toward Mt. 
Logan, plodded on to the mouth of Pineau River. Here the steep mass which 
Coleman had ascended, and to which the name “Mt. Coleman” is here 
applied, rises across the river to the northeast. From the mouth of Pineau
