Add to this the westerly arm of Lake Bennet, and the Takone or Windy Arm of Tagish Lake, each about fifteen miles in length, and the Taku Arm of the latter lake, of unknown length, but probably not less than thirty miles, and we have a stretch of water of upwards of one hundred miles in length, all easily navigable; and, as has been pointed out, easily connected with Taiya Inlet through the White Pass.

It occupies a large valley, as seen from the westerly side of the lake, but the stream is apparently unimportant.

On the westerly side of the river there are two or three other isolated masses of apparently the same kind of rock.

They are of no great importance, the westerly half of the stream only being obstructed.

The main channel is along the westerly shore, down which the large boat went, and the crew reported plenty of water.

"It is a difficult matter to determine the actual discharge at the place of the cross-section, owing to the irregularity in the depth and current, the latter being in the deep channel at the east side, when I tried it in September, approximately 4.8 miles per hour; while on the bar in midstream it was not more than 2.5 miles per hour; and between the bar and the westerly shore there was very little current.

"South-westerly!"

A large river runs through this country in a westerly course.

This substance is found by the inhabitants on the coast, between Polangen and Pillau, either loosely on the shore, on which it has been thrown by the strong north and westerly winds, or in small hillocks of sand near the sea, where it is found in regular strata.

Another day ought to put us beyond the reach of westerly gales.

We have been set to the east during the past days; is it the normal set in the region, or due to the prevalence of westerly winds?

This morning there were many dark shades of open water sky to the south; the westerly wind ruffling the water makes these cloud shadows very dark.

We have had a predominance of westerly winds in a region where a predominance of easterly might be expected.

We have made a mile or two in a westerly direction in the same manner as yesterday.

"We, therefore, tried to turn the pack by coasting along it, but, although we ran over a hundred miles along its edge, in a westerly direction, never a lead did we come across which offered any hopes of getting through.

It is probable that Pintard would not have stirred, even at this order, had not the English ships been seen, at that instant, coming round Campanella, with a leading westerly wind.

At high tides the spray breaks over the esplanade in showers, and under the stimulus of a brisk westerly breeze these demonstrations of the "sad sea waves" are quite lively.
