little stream, extending a considerable distance inland, which we named
Riviere St. Antoine. [60] Its mouth is distant from the end of the Bay of
St. Mary some four leagues through the woods. The remaining river is only a
small stream filled with rocks, which cannot be ascended at all on account
of the small amount of water, and which has been named Rocky Brook. [61]
This place is in latitude [62] 45 deg.; and 17 deg. 8' of the deflection of the
magnetic needle.
