The land on which they are settled is situated on the right shore of the said har— bour. It was given to them verbally by Monsieur do Bonnaventnne, commandant of Isle Saianean. They have made a clearing on which they have sown two bushels of wheat, two bushels of peas and one bushel of oats. --” .

“76 left Havre de la. Fortune on the 11th and took the route for Pointo do l’Est, situated, it is stated, six leagues from the hnrbourm After having doubled the point of Havre ii Mathieu, we passed a little to seaward of the harbour: IL§ouris and observed that it runs a league and-a half inland to the north, throwing notepad-u) to the east. The entrance to the harbour is practicable only for boats and Cwood he]? of the capacity of three to four cords. Next. we noticed the little harbors that run, the one to the west and the other to the north-west, which are practicable for boats alone. In all this part of the country there is but little hay made. The land seems to be of a. nature suitable for cultivation, and is covered with all kinds of hard wood fit. for the construction of small vessels and boats. These two harbours lie 3. distance ofone léryno apart and two leagues from the harbour de la Fortune. After having made another two leagues, we found ourselves crossing Havre de l’Echourio. Its entrance lies , north and south, and is estimated atone hundred toises in length. Inside the entrance f the harbour divides into two arms, running east and west so that that on the star- board side on entering may have a league in length, by a quarter of league of breadt-i,’,

and that to the larboard threoquarters of a league. There is a great. deal of grass on the banks of the harbour. The harbour is practicable only for boats. It is considered that this harbor would only have been a large creel: but for the sand dunes thrown yup by the wind, which sand dunes separate it from the sea. ’ Next, after making another two leagu s, we douh’2d Points de l’Est. This point has been reduced to a wilder- ness by a fire which has passed through this section, and thesettlers have V established, ithemselves at a distance of two leagues from the point- on the north side. ‘ _ The land on which the people have settled is of the best for cultivation. Never- theless they have sown no seed here, and the truth is that they lack seed to sow, and if the King does not make them a gift or loan of seed so that they can. so“ it next spring

they will find it impossible to maintain themselves, being today at the last stage of poverty through the great mortality among their live stock.
