After resting and transacting necessary business they again push away, and turn their course up the lovely Bay of Quinte.
The lake has no natural outlet, and the common opinion is that it is unfathomable, and that it is supplied with water by means of a subterranean communication with Lake Huron, or some other lake at the same level.

One of the men shook him by the arm, and Master Richard's sense came back a little. He bade Master Richard look upon it and asked him what it was. "I think it to be my Quinte Essence" said Master Richard.
Such works as Murdoch's 'History of Nova Scotia, Dr. Canniff's Bay of Quinte, Dr. Scadding's 'Toronto of Old' are very valuable in the way of collecting facts and data from dusty archives and from old pioneers, thus saving the future historian much labour.
