The northern and southern coasts were evidently drawing moreclosely together, and between them, so the savages averred, lay a greatriver.
'There is, ' wrote Cartier in his narrative, 'between the southerlylands and the northerly about thirty leagues distance and more than twohundred fathoms depth. The said men did, moreover, certify unto us thatthere was the way and beginning of the great river of Hochelaga, andready way to Canada, which river the farther it went the narrower itcame, even unto ...Canada, and that then there was fresh water which wentso far upwards that they had never heard of any man who had gone to thehead of it, and that there is no other passage but with small boats. ' The announcement that the waters in which he was sailing led inward toa fresh-water river brought to Cartier not the sense of elation thatshould have accompanied so great a discovery, but a feeling ofdisappointment. A fresh-water river could not be the westward passageto Asia that he had hoped to find, and, interested though he might bein the rumoured kingdom of Saguenay, it was with reluctance that heturned from the waters of the Gulf to the ascent of the great river.
