The Evening Express from the 7th of November, 1903, ran a story about the trials and tribulations of the crew of the Eldorado: “An attempt was made to force the passage of the Moose River, but the current was so strong that at the end of three days only fourteen miles had been covered, and the party turned back. Next the Abitibi River was tried. Numerous falls and rapids were encountered, and two canoes were upset, the crews experiencing narrow escapes from drowning. The nights were bitterly cold, the food was scanty, and the supplies of rations had to be reduced.”
