To the west-ward a great glacier could be seen winding downthrough the hills towards us ; and we concludedthat the peak we were in search of was probablynear to this glacier, in which case we couldexplore both together. Below stretched thevalley of the Saskatchewan, filled to the foot ofthe mountains on either side with a mass ofstones, shingle flats, and sand bars, whilst theriver itself made tangled courses through all thisdebris. These shingle wash-outs are commonamongst the Rocky Mountains, not only at thehead-waters of the Saskatchewan, but, as wefound later, of the Athabasca and the Bushrivers as well. On the morrow Peak Sarbach was left behindus, and, turning almost due south, the valleywas foUowed till a wooded island lying in themiddle of the wash-out was reached. On thewestern side of the island the river has cut itsway through a rocky canyon; on the eastern side a particularly bad muskeg barred the way. 48</i><br><b>Text Appearing After Image:</b><br><i>The Middle Fork of the Saskatchewan MOUNT FORBES We were therefore compelled to force our waythrough the thick timber of the island knoll, andso to the other side ; consequently it was not tilllate that a camping-place was found some dis-tance further up the shingle flat. To our delight,however, the big peak we were in search ofcould be seen almost opposite across the valley.Although at that time we were under the im-pression that it was Mount Murchison, we after-wards discovered, on our return to England,from Pallisers journals, that this peak was inreality Mount Forbes, and not Murchison. The weather, that had been almost perfectsince the 9th, now began to get steadily worse,snow showers falling and powdering the tre-mendous precipices of our mountain—one of thefinest rock peaks amongst the Rockies.
