start in the morning. Following is a summary of the outfit taken
from an inventory made at Indian Harbour: Our canoe was 18 feet
long, canvas covered, and weighed about 80 pounds. The tent was of
the type known as miner's, 6 1/2 x 7 feet, made of balloon silk and

blanket; two tarpaulins; five duck waterproof bags; one dozen small
waterproof bags of balloon silk for note books; two .45-70

This outfit, it will be remembered, was designed for three men.
