The lake doesn't look big at any

you can't tell an island from the main

an unspoiled country and is kept as
nearly that way as possible.
You see few camps on the islands.

But one fire was ever traced to the
Indians in this section and that was

pectors were discovered. The Indians
set fire to the bush to drive the white
