“party could not start till 5 owing to some snow falling from the S.W. which detained the Steersmen in case it might come on more heavy & steady as the leather sails & coverings we have answers wet weather badly from the great quantity of water they absorbe-”  – Archibald Macdonald Journal

(reference: p. 18213 of the Selkirk Papers, M187, Manitoba Archives)
