The coasts and islands are covered with a great many pines, firs, birches and other poor kinds of trees. Fishing is abundant and also bird-hunting. F...rom Sesambre we passed a very safe bay of about seven or eight leagues in ex- tent, with no islands in it, except at the bot- tom, where there is the mouth of a little river with not much water in it. * Then, heading northeast by east, we came to a har- bor eight leagues from Sesambre, which is quite good for ships of 100 to 120 tons. At its mouth there is an island, from which, at low tide, one can go to the mainland. We named this place Port Ste. Heleine.^ It is in latitude 44° 40', a little more or less.
