, being 72
miles from Kingston. - The River St.
Lawrence for about 10 Leagues below
Kingston has no current, and
but
a very gentle one the remainder
of the way to Oswegatche; from thence
it begins to be very rapid. - in the
afternoon we pass'd the Rapids call'd
the Long Sue, and about 6 oClock enter'd
Lake St. Francis, which is 7 Leagues
in length and 2 wide two in breadth.
- at 10 we were overtaken with a
violent squall of Wind and Rain; and
with difficulty got to land on the N.W.
side, about 14 miles from the N.E. end
of the Lake, where we left our Boat and
made up a fire on this Shore, and
spent a very uncomfortable Night
