"
The two young lads, Duncan M'Lean and Gilbert Blake, stayed with
Mr. Wallace, and Donald and Allan went right on to Mr. Hubbard.
They saw Wallace's trail through the snow, and along where he went,
and only less than a couple hundred yards from the tent, and had
turned back and followed his own trail again, thinking he had gone
past the camp. They found Mr. Wallace was frost-bitten on the
point of his toe, the big toe on his left foot. He had yet a
little of the flour when they found him. The two lads stays up
with Mr. Wallace, so when he gets a little stronger they would come
down to Grand Lake. They had a tent and stove, and lots of
provisions.
Sunday, November 1st.--I went with Allan over where be lives, 7
miles from Donald's, 4 miles by the lake, then up the Nascaupee
River 3 miles. My first glimpse of the Nascaupee River. The
Nascaupee River is a nice big river compared to the Susan and
Beaver River, and much wider and deeper. When we came along here
in the summer, we saw this bay where the Nascaupee River comes out
from, from a distance; but we thought it was just only a bay, and
high mountains all round, and we never thought a river came out
from there.
