Nothing was known as topthe possibilities of ob- taining provisions. Each party had to outfit itself with everything nec- essary for long. periods in the way of clothing, provisions, medicine, etc. In the east, canoes, pointers and boats were used. In the west, pack- horses were used in summer and dogs in winter, in addition to canoes and boats. But with all these, a great amount of transport work had to be done on the backs of men. The engineer in charge of a party was furnished with a map, which .was supposed to show" the general char- acteristics of the country he had to , explore. On them he saw a survey. mark `.`A indicating where he was to start, and a.B ~ ~\where he was expect- ed to reach. These maps were cop- ied from general maps of the con- tinent compiled from sourcesvsuch as sketches made by travellers and In-; dians and a great deal from guess work. Many of the streams, lakes, and even mountains sketched did not_ exist, or were in totally diiferentl TORONTO Exploits of Barrie Men Aboimd in Romance of C7anada_ s_V%7 rails positions fromthose indicated.
