The traders of all districtsFort au Liard, Lapierre's House, Fort Rae, Ile a la Crosse, Portage la Loche, Lac la Biche, Jasper's House, the House of the Touchwood Hillsall these, and many more, have heard of Ned Trent.

" Lapierre, one of our men, did his best with a paddle, or, as he called it, the "little row," but it was to no purposeit would not go.

We had still another detention upon the road, from meeting Lapierre, the blacksmith, from Sugar Creek, who with one of his associates was going to the Portage for supplies, so that we had not travelled more than twenty-three miles when we came to our proposed encamping-ground.

Some hundreds of us made up Broad Street for the Lapierre House to breakfast.

I hope, if I live to breakfast again in the Lapierre House, that I may be allowed to help myself and choose for myself below-stairs.
