Coppermine River Trip-August 9th, 1975

Coppermine River Trip-August 9th,1975
Aug 9

Rocky Difils Rapids Day

Very cloudy + wet; north wind
Stopped at Franklin's "3 Copper Indian" site (below big island)
Lots of chips + artifacts. 
"My Indian God"
Oar, canoe pile.
Lunch at northern rapid.
Ran to Rocky Difils Rapids.
Carried all gear. C.C. carried his canoe (1 mile, up 300')
 R.N. ran; P.H/B.H. ran; BH/BB ran. Camped at downstream end.
Big falcons on cliff.
16.5 miles
ferry above Difils-Dogs! 

Need some help on this one,  the word "Difils" that appears three times does make any sense and I sure I have it wrong, but can't come up with a better option.  Also, the "northern" and "Dogs" are probably not right either.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
