proceeded % miles along the northeastern
shore of Hatham Inlet. Here they struck
the mouth of another river of considerable
size. which the natives said was one of the
outlet of larger river. Descending this
branch in southeasterly direction for two
DAYS they struck the main stream, which
proved to be river three quarters of mile
wide and nowhere less than two and one-half
fathoms of water, at times seven fathoms.
Ascending the river for a distance of so
miles they found the banks steep and thickly
timbered with birch. alder and spruce. Some
of the trees are 40 feet in height and IL
inches in diameter at the base. Back from
banks the underground formed all impassa-

bends. reaching two knots per hour. The
natives reported that the river held a depth
of not less than tw o fathoms width half mile
for 500 miles beyond where Storey turned back
1t was further stated bv the natives that by
making small portage near the head Of the
river they could reach another stream flowing
north into the Polar sea. Story having gone
as far as time permitted, retraced his steps
to the mouth of the main stream, which with
two other branches forms delta on the
north side of the bottom inlet. Everywhere
the natives were kind, harmless and hOepit-
able, many evidently having never seen
white men before. The heat was intense,
the vegetation rank and the natives were
scantily clad. Capt. Healey says: "Thus
far on the cruise nothing has been seen to
show that either liquor or breach loading
arms had been landed on the American side
