being a bold shore along this lake, there are,
as may well be conceived, many beautiful situa-
tions on its banks.

This night I lodged at Powel's Tavern

, in
Geneva, which is, in every respect, a most excel-
lent inn, and capacity of accommodating a large
number of guests. At this inn, I met with an
agreeable and entertaining young man, with whom
I spent the evening.

11th Month, 26th.

This day I passed the out-
let of Lake Canandarque, and the town of that
name. The lake is nearly equal in magnitude to
Lake Seneca, and the town extends to its borders.
These lakes abound with a variety of fresh-water
fish, particularly salmon and salmon-trout; and,
what is a little extraordinary, the latter are much
larger than the former, frequently weighing from
70 to 80lbs. each.

In the evening I came to General Hall

's Tavern,
where I was well entertained by him and his
family. The General, though an innkeeper,
stands very high in the estimation of his country-
men. In the Revolution, though very young, he
was a Sergeant; and, having little or no property,
he has been raised to the rank of a General on
account of his good conduct, and he is now ac-
quiring wealth.
