This route is generally preferred by steamers on their way to the Pacific Ocean. The exact length of the straits is 372 miles.
Soon he grew strangely nervous, for he thought that he heard the crunch of snowshoes coming up behind.

At Jilmeca and some other points along the day's route the rock over which we passed was a white tufaceous material loaded with streaks of black flint. Sometimes this black flint passes into chert and chalcedony of blue and purple tints.
