Not illustrated. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ...to the south-east! A gentleman was entertaining his fellow-passengers very cleverly with the little story, and was greatly amazed by my telling him that I was one of the butterfly-hunters. RELIGIOUS FEELINGS. 169 Near the Old Fort we built a large and handsome bower, as a dining and work room, as well as for a temporary church on Sundays, --the congregation consisting of five or six gentlemen, eight or ten blue-jackets, our servants, and some boatmen, among whom were Roman Catholics. The sacred day was always kept with great propriety, and the services gladly attended. I am of opinion that our sequestered and contemplative mode of life was more favourable (for a time) to the growth of the Christian dispositions than the formal attendance on church duties in cities (by no means, however, to be lightly spoken of), surrounded by the temptations, distractions, and anxieties of civilised life. David's most spiritual psalms were written in the desert. If a man have any, the least, religious tendencies, they will be awakened in an American wilderness. The Creator and the Preserver feel wonderfully near in the thunder, the gale, and the snow-storm.. Of the scenery about Portlock Harbour and the south-east point of St. Joseph, the plates are specimens. We disturbed a bear at each of these places, and endeavoured with great zeal, but unsuccessfully, to catch and eat them.. The little island on which I was encamped alone, off the south-east point, was singularly infested with red ants. There was hardly a spot free. They swarmed in my tent and bed. But out-door fatigue enabled me to sleep in spite of this crawling annoyance. The ants of Lake Huron are of various kinds, --some very large. Our encampment on the Little Manitou Island was characteristic.
