But the weather was now beginning to change. Dick Prince, whose black eye was ever roving about observantly, told Massan that a storm was brewing, and that the sooner he put ashore in a convenient spot the better. But Stanley was anxious to get on, having a long journey before him, at the termination of which there would be little enough time to erect a sufficient protection against the winter of the north; so he continued to advance along shore until they came to a point beyond which there was a very deep bay that would take them many hours to coast.

It was so many years ago that I am not sure if I was ever on the civilized loactions of this bay. Neither can I recall meeting any
Good account of life in northern Quebec 200 years ago. I loved the vernacular of the day and the situations they got into. This not only shows the life of explorers,voyageurs,and both native groups Inuit (or Esquimaux as they were called then.) and the Indian rivals. but shows a lot of the culture o
