that lu his opinion the result of last

which communicate with that tiny
from Hie Northwest. Between the
lake and Hudson's bay, It -will be
een at once by a reference to Dr.
Dawou'a map, lie Hie larger portion
of unexplored Canada. Thi great
area would lmve Iteen very much
greater had It not been traversed on
It western lde by Caitt. (afterward
Sir George) Rack, who discovered and
descended the Great Flh or Back
river, since that time rendrjd of pa
lliotlu Interest from the fact that for
It mouth tho scurvey-atrlcken rem
nant of Sir John Franklln'a crew
were making when storm and famine
stayed their progress, and left for
McOllntoek's battered Ixwt. the ekel
eton of brave men, and a cairn, which
told the sad story of their fate.
"Thi route lay almost dirotrrly north
from the head of the great lakes, but
still between It and the eastern and
northeastern conm tlrere lay Hie un
known kind, first traversed by the two
Tyrrell, in lXlKJ, from the head of
Athabasca lake, by a river which they
discovered, to the head of Chester
field inlet, and thence past Marble Is
land down to Churchill port or factory.
The exjiodltlon of last year was over
known water only a far as the head
f Reindeer lake. Thence eastward
and northeastward lay the dark tinea

plored aerca, Tho expedition waa but

rell, of the Geological survey and Mun

with four Indian voyager, accomplish
ing the Journey through the t?ntire un
explored portion in a way which wa
In marked contrast to the large, well
fitted, abundantly stored and well-provided
exiMHlitlon of Sir George Rack,
who brought boat especially built
from England, with artificer of varl
ou kinds, nnd who had at his com
mand all the material resources and
the knowledge of such travel as the
Hudson's Ray company could afford
him. Loavlng the head of Reindeer
lake a short distance only, although
at a considerable elevation, brought
them to the watershed between the
eastern and western waters, and there
ceased all knowledge to be derived
from the Chippewyan of that region,
for between them and the Eskimos of
the coast there had been war so long
as the oldest member of either of ,
those people could remember.
"To thi fact I due, In some meaa
utv at least, the preservation of num
berless herds of reindeer encountered
hy tiio explorers in their perilous trip,
for a mutual fear hns left a wide line
of neutral territory, Into which no Es
kimo nor Chippewyan ventures, end
where the reindeer thrives. At the
summit of this divide the traveler had
to In some measure guess their way. '
Rills trickled Into pools, pool Into
small creeks, creeks Into small lakes.
These, combining, made a stream at
last down which cauoes might mok
a dangerous passage, for the descent
was great bet worn the divide and the
waters of Hudson's bay. They were
fortunate in rinding a river, which the
Eskimos, when afterward met, called
In their language tho White Partridge
river. This stream, with its formida
ble rapids, chutes, falls, And narrow
gorges, and with many ond perplexing
turnings, brought thein st last to a
point where, after fatiguing and dif
ficult portage of twenty miles, they
wore enabled to reach a smaller river,
which ttowed directly eastward, and
carried them to the shores of Hudson's
bay."
Mr. Tyrrell's report has not yet been
issued, hut it is understood that his'
olwervaBiona were scientifically of the
greatest interest, Aud owing to his dis
covery of the fact that a lluronlan
belt divides the ordinary Ijiurenttan
formation of the region there are fu
ture metalliferous possibilities which
may yet be very valuable Indeed, from
their nearness to shipping points on
Hudson's bay. From an anthropolo
gical point of view, the discoveries of
tho party wcro interesting from the
fact tliat there came under their notice
the peculiar condition of some hun
dreds of Eskimos who had fixed their
abode, unlike the habits of their race
elsewhere on the Arctic ami other
coasts of CanAda, in the Interior of
the country, the cause apparently be
ing tho complete destruction of almost
all sea animals of Hudson's bay by
tho whaling ships of Nantucket and
other ports, which, not content with
tho ordinary summer's fishing, have,
since the bay became a Canadian sea
till they ruined the source of supply
annually wintered at Marble Island,
off the month of Chesterfield Inlet.
This coiMlition apparently has driven
tlvese Eskimos to depend upon tne
reindeer and the fresh water foot!
fishes, with which all these northern
lakes nro stocked almost to repletion,
nearly altogether for their support,
and tho difference of food ond mode
of life has led to a better development,
at least in the statures of Eskimo
men, as Mr. Ferguson had Informed
him ho saw Eskimo men who varied
In height from five feet six Inches to .
perhaps five feet nine or ten inches,
though the women wore more than in
proportion shorter.
