It is about four hundred yards wide and its waters are of a muddy white colour.

After ascending the stream for an hour or two and passing through Carpenter's Lake, which is merely an expansion of the river to about a mile in breadth, we came to the Sea River Portage where the boat was launched across a smooth rock to avoid a fall of four or five feet.
PLAY GREEN LAKES.
Reembarking at the upper end of the portage we ran before a fresh gale through the remainder of Sea River, the lower part of Play Green Lake and, entering Little Jack River, landed and pitched our tents.

Here there is a small log hut, the residence of a fisherman who supplies Norway House with trout and sturgeon.

He gave us a few of these fish which afforded an acceptable supper.

Our voyage this day was thirty-four miles.

Little Jack River is the name given to a channel that winds among several large islands which separate Upper and Lower Play Green Lakes.
