There is a river in America which flows to the north-westward of Great Bear Lake, and helps to drain that part of the great wilderness into the Arctic Sea. It is an insignificant stream compared with such well-known waterways as the Mackenzie and the, Coppermine; nevertheless it is large enough to entice the white whale and the seal into its waters every spring, and it becomes a resting place for myriads of wild-fowl while on their passage to and from the breeding-grounds of the Far North.
