We continued along the border of tlie Lake of the Entoulionorons, always hunting as above mentioned ; being there, we crossed over at one of the extremities, tending Eastward, wliich is the beginning (Ventree) of the river Saint Lawrence, in the parallel of forty-three degrees of Latitude. There are some beautiful and very large Islands in tliis passage. We made about fourteen leagues to cross to the other side of the Lake, proceeding southward, towards the enemy's country. The Indians concealed all their cajioes in the woods, neai- the bank. We travelled by land about 4 leagues over a sandy plain, wnero [ observed a very pleasing and fine country, watered by numerous small streams, and two little rivers wliich empty into said Lake, and a number of ponds and prairies, wlierc there was an infinite quantity of game, a great many vines and fine trees, vast number of chestnuts, the fruit of which was yet in the shell. It is quite small, l3ut well flavored.

All the canoes being thus concealed, we left the bank of the Lake, vv^hich is 80 leagues long and 25 wide. It is inhabited Jul- the greater part by Savages, along the sides of the streams, and we continued our journey overland some 25 to 30 leagues. In tlie course of four days, we traversed a number of streams and one river issuing from a lake wliich empties into that of tlie Entouhonorons. This lake is 25 to 30 leagues in circunifcr ence, with many beautiful Islands, and is the Iroquois fishing ground, fish being in abundance there.
