On the evening of the first day the colonists encamped about nine miles from Granite House, on the border of a little stream falling into the Mercy, and of the existence of which they had till then been ignorant; it evidently, however, belonged to the hydiographical system to which the soil owed its astonishing fertility.
Le soir de cette première journée, les colons campèrent à neuf milles environ de Granite-House, sur le bord d'un petit affluent de la Mercy, dont ils ignoraient l'existence, et qui devait se rattacher au système hydrographique auquel ce sol devait son étonnante fertilité.
