'The situation of this I land is most beautiful and interesting, affording a very extensive prospect uninterrupted on the expansive Lake, in one direction : an 1 enlivened on the other by the main on the right and left, with beautiful Islands scattered afound. frhis is the most elevated Island on the Lakes : Its highest ground is several hundred feet above the Lake and resembles a naked ridge terminating abraptJ v ai it extremities, of about one mile In length. Below, and half a mile nearer the margin of the Lake, is situated Fort Maekina. which although more than too feet lower than the elevation first mentioned is yet upwards of too feet above the Lake. 1 The British when last in possession of this Inland, erected a small work 011 the submit of this ridge, and at that extremity, nearest the Fort consisting of a blockhouse surroundered by a ircular parapet ofearth : but left it unfinished. It is h wever intended to be completed with some improvements and occupied bj a guard. Its distance from water and the impracticability of obtain

ing any hjrdiging, prevented the main fortification being erected on this position which is capable of being rendered impregnable ; whence with a few pieces of ordnance the Fort with any Garrison is entirely untenable. 1 I have examined the ground where Croghan landed, and the lamented Holmes, fell. The retreat must have been most timelv fie fortunate or his Command would inevitablv have been destroyed ; 50 men could have prevent : 1 his force ever reaching the Fort ; the land intervening being covered with a small growth of wood, impenetrably thick. There are many w individual advantages attending a residence on this Island from the healthiness of its climate, which 1 doubt not is equal to any known : the air and water both of the springs and Lake, being as pure as can exist. The military forces here exceed , and the sick report seldom exceeds one to a Company 4 A variety of the finest fish I ever saw can be produced, in tolerable abundance every season of the year, and the vegetables of the Island are superior in size fij nutriment, although the soil which pro duces their, is gravelly A bout 15 Families reside here who do not generally possess sufficient accomplishments to render their sot iety destrable being in one branch descended from the Aborigines possessing cunning and depravity and who are no less devoted to British interest. Howevt r in the milder seasons of the year, the Society here is most refined genteel, and numerous. 1 The British are erecting & Fort on Drummond's Island, which lies about 3 miles Si YV. of St. Joseph, and about 35 miles from this Few Indians are now here, they have gone to their hunting ground but those I have seen are extremely humble and timed-'
