Excerpt from page 31 of "B.C.'s Inland Empire" by Erskine Burnett associated with this image: Leaving Sicamous about 10:30 a. m. our first stop was a Bruhn's sawmill near the site of Eagle City. A second stop was made at Marble Point where a deposit of marl shows up near the water. It was here that a cowbird flew onto the barge and stayed with us for most of the voyage. When we got out into the middle of the lake again it was evidently afraid to attempt the flight to land. Capt. Smith told us when he was navigating on Great Slave Lake in the fall of the year flocks of ptarmigan would land on the deck and travel for a considerable distance without fear of the crew. Just before reaching the Narrows Anstey Arm can be seen stretching out to the right with the snow-capped peaks on the east side of the Columbia Valley just visible in the distance. Our third stop was at the Forestry Station at Cinnemosun Narrows.
