Show He has touched the Canadian COS waterways ( origi- origi ) nally in my first voyage . He went to the source of the Columbia , heading near Lake ( Windemere Whidemere ) in British Columbia , followed that ( north nortli ) between the Rockies and Selkirks on the route of Thompson and the old Hudson Bay explorers . Turning south and crossing the American line , he followed the river down to tidewater at Portland . That was the first Canadian river he touched and voyaged . Several years later , in 1924 , took a small boat with an ( out-board outboard ) motor , ( sixteen-foot sixteenfoot ) boat , decked over ( carefully carefulIS- carefulIS ) against storms , ran that with the ( out-board outboard ) motor from Milwaukee to New York . That was the route of Goliet and LaSalle and Marquette . He voyaged up Lake Michigan , through the Straits of Mackinac , thence to ( Georgian Georgia ) Bay . Then there is a series of canalsand ( lakes la'kes lakes ) and rivers called the Trent canal , in ( which -which which ) ( about abod ) forty locks occur in a distance of ( twenty-five twentyfive ) miles . This takes one from Georgian Bay , cutting out Lake Huron and Erie , leaving one at the head of the St . ( Law- Law ) rence . Then he voyaged down the St . Lawrence to the mouth of the Richelieu which drains Lake , ( Ohamplain Champlain ) , running the numerous rapids on that river , most of which are passed now by canal . He continued ( up lip ) the ( Eichelieu Richelieu ) to Lake Camplain , and thence by the New York barge canal to the Hudson , and on to New York . ( R . 2557 . ) That was my second experience in Canada . |
