of the people of Kamouraska, great gaiety was constantly going on during winter when dancing & sleighing were the order of the day -- There is no game in the vicinity with the exception of a few geese & ducks which appear in spring & fall. A short time before we visited the place, two huge animals, or as the Pretre ? informed deux animaux grands comme ça pointing to a large cow, appeared near the town ? with hoofs and large horns, he knew no name for them (but I concluded they were Elk or Moose) and swam across to the opposite shore, deer were unknown and but few Indians ever made their appearance & then on their way to their fishing grounds towards Gaspe however I saw a brace of decent looking pointers, so perhaps there may be a few quail in the summer
