"We directed our course towards the Dog-rib Rock, but
as our companions were loaded with the weight of near one hundred
and eighty pounds weight each, we of necessity proceeded at a slow
pace. The day was extremely warm, and the mosquitoes, whose
attacks had hitherto been feeble, issued forth in swarms from the
marshes, and were very tormenting. Having walked five miles we
encamped near a small cluster of pines about two miles from the
Dog-rib Rock. The canoe party had not been seen since they set
out. Our hunters went forward to Marten Lake intending to wait
for us at a place where two deer were deposited. At nine P.M. the
temperature of the air was 63°."
