Book Description

Excerpt from Report on the North Shore of Lake Huron My Assistant, Mr. Murray, in the early part of the season, devoted his attention to the examination of the coast of Lake Huron between Penetanguishene and Sandwich, and, having joined me on the North Shore, at the Bruce Mines, I had the benefit of his aid in a survey of the Rivers Thessalon and Missis sagui. We ascended the former about twenty-five miles, coasting the shores of three lakes occurring on the distance, and the latter nearly forty miles, as well as seven miles of one of its tributaries and four miles of another, in addition to two lakes on the Grande Batture Portage, emptied by this tributary, one of them five, and the other eight, miles long, with breadths of one and two miles. Mr. Murray subsequently examined about sixty miles of the Spanish River, with about fifteen miles of two of its tributaries, and also about fifteen miles of the lakes and stream owing into Lake Huron, in the immediate vicinity of lacloche after which he visited the Wallace mine and various other parts on the coast and islands of the main lake, as he returned to Penetanguishene.
