Next morning they started in a north-westerly direction and reached West Lake. Turning to the west they made their way through the West Lake beach, and next day, taking a circuitous route through the woods reached the place where they had left their boat; and so returned to Kingston. Finding the woods of Prince Edward full of deer and other game, and the lakes abounding with fish of all kinds, Colonel Young chose to settle on the west side of East Lake.
