Wiles by Canoe and EXPLORATION IN THE SUBARC TICS OF CANADA y By J Tyrrell Civil Engineer The start was made in the fore part of January last year and the various members of the expedition along with boats and baggage were transported by rail across the continent to the extreme northwest terminus of the Canadian Pacific at Edmon ton The region for which this ex ploring party were headed was the great unknown barren ground rounding Great Lake and from thence eastward to Hudson Bay Part of this unknown country had been explored by Mr Tyrrell and his brother two years previous their route in both of these other expedi tions lying more to the eastward The party was under the direction of Mr J Tyrrell civil engineer and Dominion land surveyor of Hamilton Ontario His principal assistant was Mr of Ont who kept track of the survey Dr Bell of the Geological Survey was second in command Besides these there was also Archdeacon who acted as interpreter and chaplain to the party He had already spent several years as a missionary on the coast of Hudson and had two years previous saved the lives of both the Tyrrell brothers when they werie in a perishing condition jammed in drifting ice one hundred miles north of on Hudson Bay Mr Perry Acres also a Hamilton man who had previous experience in north western life was the cook of the party Perhaps the most serviceable all was one Pierre French a half breed from near Mont real Pierre had accompanied Mr Tyrell on a similar expedition to the barren lands in and had made considerable reputation for himself by bringing the canoes thru very rough water and difficult places A few years ago out of utter he ran the famous Lachine rapids in a birch bark canoe on Christmas day before thousands of spectators Some years ago he also made a reputation by being a voyager the Egyptian campaign under Lord On one trip alone Pierre successfully shot i rapids He proved himself to be a reliable guide an earnest worker and a faithful friend To him was given the selection of another boat man from the same Indian village and his choice was one Henry Mon et Jimmy is known as the gteatest hunter and in the great lone lands He comes from accompanied Mr on two of his previous trips in this part of the great north Land Two years previously when making a tramp hund red miles from Fort Norfolk House this same Jimmy many times sdved the whole party from starvation by his sure aim Deer seen at long range that others would miss Jimmy would bring down almost every time and if need be his great strength enabled him to follow the deer thru thickets for hours and he would seldom stop till he had overtaken the game The seventh roan of the expedition was John Harper also a who made many trips thru the barren grounds and who also lived on shores of Hudson Travelling by rail these seven men started out for the Hudson Bay Com panys house at Lac la Here they put their provisions and baggage on to sleds drawn by dogs of which they bad twentyfive fine ones which were hitched to the sleds tandem fashion The sledloads averaging not over two hundred and fifty lbs they were able to travel rapidly northward up the clear water river to the point where it joins the Atha basca river at Fort From this point to Lake Athabasca they followed the river of the same name the princi pal post the Hudson Bay Trading Company in that district Then con tinuing down Great Slave River they reached Fort Resolution on Great Slave Lake The distance by this time was about nine hundred miles from Edmonton Mr Tyrrell had in the previous summer ordered his canoes shipped with six months provisions to this point on the Hud son Bay Companys steamer which had arrived ahead of him all in good time The opening of navigation was expected to begin about the 1st of July and it was desired to reach Artillery Lake before that time there by avoiding portaging their boats over a large number of very heavy rapids From here on for a distance of five hundred miles there has never been a survey made and no positive information existed in reference to the country excepting such as was learn ed verbally from Indians and on their trips of the two previous years In this country Mr Tyrrell found large herds of reindeer sot large in deed that it was impossible to esti mate the number In many instances he says they covered the ground as far as the eye could see in almost all directions and the photographs that are published accompanying his report of corroborate his state ment As these deer must be depend ed on very largely for tile food of the expedition Mr Tyrrell and his party seized the opportunity shooting them often as possible and when more meat secured than could be kept in a condition it was dried for future use For months he says he was never out sight of reindeer and almost every day lor weeks he saw immense herds that must have numbered in the thousands Besides reindeer musk ox Arctic and timber wolves Arctic foxes polar bears etc were found in large numbers A visit to Mr Tyrrells house in Hamilton would give the reader idea of the amount of game kilted as every where are to be seen the of Arctic animals all of which have been killed by himself or his party From Artillery Lake eastward the route lay thru an entirely unknown country until they reached Aberdeen Lake where he had been in August From here out to Hudsons Bay a distance of five hundred miles the shore was surveyed on both the north and the south sides Chester field Inlet a long arm extending in land for a hundred miles or more con tains salt water and has a heavy tide so that navigation half the day would be aginst the tide the balance with it were met in large numbers and from them the party se cured some information as well as sketch maps of the country they were going to The object of the expedition was to explore behalf of the Canadian Government the entire country re porting on the geological botanical and zoological condition of the region and to determine as well what the mineral resources might be For many weeks in the barren land they were without wood of any kind there being none whatever to be found and in this time they used alcohol ol which several gallons were taken along for that purpose Further to the westward timber was found in considerable quantities and while in Umber regions the discomfort of camping in that cold country Is very much decreased The party was of course well provided with guns and ammunition and depended largely on their larder Sir Tyrell at first found it very difficult to persuade the Indians to ac company him in the lands of the as Indians consider this other tribe to be very savage people who would surely kill and devour but these thoughts were dispelled on meeting with the for he scribes them as a quiet and friendly people and does not believe Would injure any one unless on great provocation Tbey found at one of these camps a white man who bad gone hunting in tbe north in and had lost his way living ever since with the as one Of them This white roan was out again to Edmonton with the I party The distance covered by Mr Tyrrell and party was about five thousand miles and the time occupied was something over 11 months of which there was no opportunity whatever to receive any news of the doings of the world This eight months was a time of long suspense for the friends of the party who very well knew the difficulties in the way and the dan gers to be met The discomfort of home friends was probably augmented by the knowledge that in the whole party had almost perished from starvation and cold while down the west coast of Hudsons Bay in open canoes as the winter season was coming on He describes the as a peo ple living almost entirely on raw flesh the only fire being used that to keep their houses warm in winter These northern people spend the surii- months in skin tents by the side of open water where they can fish for seals Their summer houses look very much like the Indian tepee formed with poles in the shape of a cone and covered on the outside with deer skins- Unlike the Indian tepee however the summer house has no opening in the top as this is not required where there is no smoke or fire Their winter houses are con structed entirely of snow and are warmed by burning seal oil in a stone vessel To do this a wick is formed of the sinews of deer skin and an in genious contrivance to regulate the amount of heat and light is provided in this way Hanging above the lamp and suspended from the roof is another chunk of seal fat the oil of which melts and drops into the stone vessel By hanging this either high er or lower the amount of oil for burning can be regulated These snow houses are lighted by setting in a large block of clear ice in the side the roof of the dwelling and ventila tion is provided by a small opening in the roof The doors are made either by hanging a piece of deer skin in front of the opening or by building a long snow passageway diminishing in size towards the outside entrance prevents the cold from driving In Although still a young man Mr Tyrrell has spent about twrfveyears in this exploration work and the ex posure and hardships of this northern climate do not seem to have impaired his health The most valuable infor mation from all these Journeys has been gained in conversation with the Indians on previous trips as well as from sketches made on the sand and in the mud by the Mr Tyrrell is very well acquainted with the language having lived with them for two years while mak ing a survey of the Hudson Straits some ten years ago This last exploration is believed to be the longest ever made thru the un known regions of northern Canada since the date of the Franklin expedi tion The distance of five miles was divided about evenly be tween snowshoelng and The most northerly latitude reached was about degrees Montreal Wit ness Sharks flesh can be had all the time in the New York Capetown South
