Though the following morning was foggy and rainy, we were not sorry to quit the cold and uncomfortable beds of rock upon which we had slept, and commence our journey at an early hour.

After walking about three miles, we passed over a steep sandy ridge, and found the course of the rivulets running towards the north and north-west.

Our progress was slow in the early part of the morning, and we were detained for two hours on the summit of a hill exposed to a very cold wind, whilst our guide went in an unsuccessful pursuit of some rein-deer.

After walking a few miles farther, the fog cleared away, and Keskarrah pointed out the Copper-Mine River at a distance, and we pushed towards it with all the speed we could put forth.

At noon we arrived at an arm of Point Lake, an extensive expansion of the river, and observed the latitude 65 deg.
