  a old french fort, I could See no traces of a Settlement of any Kind, in 
  this plain I discovered a Kind of Grass resembling Timothey which appeared 
  well calculated for Hay, this Plain is verry extensive in the evening I 
  walked on the S# S# to see if any timber was Convt# to make Oars, which we 
  were much in want of, I found Som indifferent timber and Struck the river
