At the lower end of this channel Big Jack River, a stream of considerable magnitude, falls into the lake.

Play Green is a translation of the appellation given to that lake by two bands of Indians who met and held a festival on an island situated near its centre.

After leaving our encampment we sailed through Upper Play Green Lake and arrived at Norway Point in the forenoon.
LAKE WINNIPEG.
The waters of Lake Winnipeg and of the rivers that run into it, the Saskatchewan in particular, are rendered turbid by the suspension of a large quantity of white clay.

Play Green Lake and Nelson River, being the discharges of the Winnipeg, are equally opaque, a circumstance that renders the sunken rocks, so frequent in these waters, very dangerous to boats in a fresh breeze.

Owing to this one of the boats that accompanied us, sailing at the rate of seven miles an hour, struck upon one of these rocks.
