From the bottom of the bay, the course lies in a direct line tlirough the woods, a journey I performed in two days, though I was now troubled with a disorder, called the snow-shoe evil^ proceeding from an unusual strain on the tendons of the leg, occasioned by the weight of the «now-shoe, and brings on inflammation. The remedy, prescribed in the country, is that of laying a piece of lighted touchwood on the part, and leaving it there till the flesh is burnt to the nerve ; but this experi- ment,... though I had frequently seen it attended with success in others, I did not think proper to make upon mvself. The lands, between the Bay of Boutchitaouy and the Sault, are generally swampy, excepting so much of them as compose a ridge, or mountain, running east and west, and which is rocky, and covered with the rock or sugar maple, or sugar-wood. * The season, for making maple-sugar, was now at hand; and, shortly after my arrival at the Sault, I removed, with the other inhabitants, to the place at which we were to perform the manufacture.
