. Vogelbrüten im Nordwesten Kanadas. Es gibt auch ein Coupleof Boote, die von Wolseley im Jahr 1870 verwendet wurden, als er eine Armee von Fort William nach Fort Garry (jetzt Winnipeg) führte, um eine Rebellion der Halbrassen auf Red River zu unterdrücken. Wir verlassen Savanne und bewegen uns nach Westen und betreten ein wildes, fremdes Land mit schnellen Flüssen und zahlreichen Seen. Die Wildnis der verschachtelten Seen, oder eher riesige Tarnen in Granitbecken, die von Wäldern gesäumt sind, teilt das Land mit Primi-tivgestein und fast bodenlosen Moscheen. Über diese WASSTRegionale herrschen Stille und Verwüstung. Ein semi-arktiswinter klammert sich daran

Thecountry is so monotonous that we are glad when eveningcloses the scene and we climb into our bunks, and after severalefforts we manage to close our eyes in sleep.. 14. Bird-Nesting CHAPTER IV. T five oclock next morning we arrive at RatPortage, which has a population of one thousand, and several large saw mills, the products of whichare shipped westward to the pi-airies for the use ofthe farmers in building their homesteads. The countr}about here is verj^ rocky and the scener}^ is of thewildest description, and deep rock-bound lakes are always insight. The Lake of the Woods is the largest body of watertouched by the railway between Lake Superior and thePacific, and is famed for its beaut}.
