Fraser, the Fraser & Canoe Rivers & by the Alberta border
& the watershed of the Parsnip & Finlay Rivers wch itself

the valley of the Fraser leaves this valley & turns almost due south

"To further his ends," sd Fr. Morice, "[Dunlevy] established
     a post at Giscome Portage,
a section of land named after a man he had for some time

he established a number of outposts, one of wch was at Giscome Portage
     a place
which was named for a negro cook in Dunlevy's employ."

(And Mr. Gauvreau:
"The Fraser River at Giscome Portage is a noble stream"

the portage through wch to step further in or through wch to come

through groups of people eating continuous,

no end in sight:

yet to be come to in the nomenclature, in the geography further on
