writer’s leaving this beautiful Island, with its fair green fields and landscapes of quiet beauty, its shining beaches, girdled with the gleaming sea, and all the other attrac- tions which have rightly given it the name of *‘the garden of the gulf.” ‘Tis a fair land truly, and to the overworked denizen of our large cities it is a very haven of rest,
**A land where it seemed always afternoon.”
But to a resident, and especially to one whose early days were spent in a land of crag and moor, of hill and dale, of mountain torrent and bold rocky coast, its quiet beauty sometimes grows monoton- ous, and when the long looked for vacation comes, one naturally turns to more striking scenes where nature can be enjoyed in her wilder moods. In our Dominion such spots are not farto seek. Turn in any direction you please, and no sooner have you reached any other part of ‘this Canada of ours,” than you find yourself face to face with a total change of scene.
It was the writer's fortune to turn his steps toward the western side of Cape Breton, an Island which, like cur own, is becoming year by year more frequented by tourists during the lung dreamy days of summer. Leaving Pictou in the early morning, by the steam yacht (so I think the advertisement describes her, and newspapers, of course, are reliable,) I. B. Hamblin, we glide slowly out from the beautiful harbor en route to Port Hood and Mabou. The day is all that can be desired ; not a cloud flecks the clear blue sky ; there is just enough of wind to tem- per the heat ; the only improvement to be desired is that the wind were in the oppo- site quarter favorable tous. For, to use an Irish phrase, the yacht’s strong point of steaming seems to be sailing, and she is amply provided with canvas. As we draw out toward Pictou Island the captain enter- tains us with remarks upon the points of
He says little or nothing about her speed— we shall probably be able to estimate that before the day is over—but he dilates upon her seaworthiness ; she rides the water like a duck, and has proved herself imore than once to be a thorough sea boat. On one of these occasions, if one might be allowed to jadge, she had astonished the captain, and possibly, like the doctor’s horse, had aston- ished herself. We listen, devoutly hoping all the while that no occasion to test her sea-going qualities will arise on this trip. It may be the natural nervousness of a landsman, but the writer, if called upon to face a storm off Cape George, would not choose the Hamblin as his beau ideal of safety. I suppose it may be an imputation on his courage to say that he would sooner be on shore than in any vessel if the storm was big one. Nevertheless such is the truth.
But we are past the Island now, and turn our attention more minutely to our ship, her crew, and our fellow passengers. Of our steamer it will suffice to say that she is not palatial in her accommodations, nor does her table equal that of an Atlantic liner. I believe she was originally intend- ed torun to lobster factories and bring their pack to Pictou. Built in the United States, she hardly comes up to what we would expect from our American cousins either in speed, workmanship or general appearance. One can’t help thinking that a better steamer could have been procured nearer home possibly at even a smaller cost. Our Captain is a typical Pictou Captain, one who looks as if care sat lightly upon him—a thorough sailor who has travelled far and seen much, with a dash of shrewd Scotch humor and an inex- haustible fund of good nature. The rest / of the ship’s company consists of an engi- neer and fireman, one individual (so far as the writer could see) doing this double duty, a chief ofticer who also fills the position of deck hand and man of all work, and sometimes relieves the Captain at the wheel, and a steward who is cook aad bottle-washer, and gives some little atten- tion to hoisting in and out cargo, beside studying seamanship. It was gratifying to learn that he was making rapid progress in the latter branch, and future tourists will doubtless receive from him ‘‘the hand of a tar.” I heard that on a previous voyage some rouzh weather was encountered, and though the Hamblinas usual behaved beauti- fully, the steward earnestly begged to be put on shore at Port Hood, professing his willingness to walk to Pictou.
But the Hamblin is really a boon to the pecple of Port Hood and Mabou, especially the jatter, for her light draught enables her to go where a larger steamer could not with safety venture, and it is no small boon to have freight landed at your door, and not be forced to incur the expense and trouble of boating it for miles. For passengers too, there is little pleasure in landing in an open boat from a steamer lying half a mile, or perhaps more outside the harbor. Should any reader of these notes wish to
follow the footsteps of the writer, I may here state that there are several ways of reachiug Mabou. The S. S&S. St. Olaf leaves Pictou weekly for Mabou—this involves the Ixnding in a boat. S. S. Rimouski twice a week from Mulgrave on arrival of Halifax train to Port Hood. A ten-mile drive brings you to Mabou. Rail to Orangedale Station, C. B., stage drive about 20 miles daily. Train to Mulgrave, steamer to Hastings, stages to Mabou (daily) about 37 miles. All of. these routes have advantages of theirown. I do not recommend the last, the drive is tiresome and you arrive about midnight.
To return to our steamer. The pas- senger list comprises four—two natives re- turning to Port Hood, and the writer form the male portion, the ubiquitous fair sex being re presented by a young lady native of the provinces, who, having graduated in the Hub of the Universe, has come to Cape Breton to rest herself by disturbing the
peace of mind of seme poor fellow. Far be it from me to say that this was the avowed object cf the visit,
but it did not requrre much penetration to see that a little recreation of this sort would not be distasteful. As both the cap- tain and the writer were fire proof and the steward, engrossed with his multifarious duties, kept out of the way, I fear the trip must have been dull ior her.
The water grows rougher as we steam along almost in the shadow of the high land of Cape George. One cannot help thinking of byegone days as we traverse the well ree membered route. Memories of Cape George seen through storm and calm, in shadow and in sunshine, crowd upon me; and as the past comes vividly back, it rec+lls faces and forms of long ago—friends, some of them separated by weary miles, others, nearer doubtless, and yet so truly parted by the thin but impervious barrier that divides us from those who have crossed to the other side.
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates of day; We only know that their barks no more May sail with us oe’r life's stormy sea,
But, somewhere, | know, on the other shore, The watch ad they wait to welcome me,
Across St. George’s Bay we reach the Islands of Port Hood, one of the best fishing gounds of Cape Breton. We thread our way through nets, past lobster buoys, dodging here and there round the point of a shoal and reach Port Hood Wharf. Not much change here since our last visit some twenty years ago, The wharf is in better order than it used to be thanks, I presume, to the Dominion Government. There are some new churches, notably a fine »rick edifice errected by the Roman Catholics, but Port Hood does not seem to be growing. The harbor is only an open roadstead expored to the full sweep of the sea. Time was when it. was otherwise. A sandbar accross the northern end made a good harbor even within the memory of persons now living. It is said that fishermen cut achannel through the bar tosave them- selves a longer row to the fishing ground. Later on the channel was dredged out. Now the bar is all gone and there is plenty of water inthe northern entrance—but Port Hood harbor is a thing of the past. Port Hood is the county town of Inverness, pos- sesses the county jail and court house, and puts on airs there anent. The first resi-
excellence which the Hamblin possesses.| gent who showed himself on the wharf,
true to local tradition, strutted grandly up and down with his thumbs inserted in the armholes of his vest, wearing such an air of dignity that our lady passenger enquired whether he owned the whole of Cape Breton. Here we land our two passengers, and freight to the extent of about six barrels, taking in eight empty egg cases andare off for Mabou, The wind is fair now and blows fresh, the Hamblin feels the effect of her sails and moves rapidly through the water. We skirt the shore closely, the promontory of Cape Mabou looming grandly up before us. There is no sign of an inlet till we are within about a hundred yards of a round hummock, when a narrow passage discloses itself, —the ship’s head is turned landward and we enter a somewhat winding channel, through which a strong tide runs. Not more than’ seven’ feet of water here at dead low water, says the captain, aud it isjlow euaough now, but we move on, close work, but we never touch, and in «a few moments our lines are fast to the wharf, and before we know where we are, we receive a warm hand- shake from an old friend, Malcolm Me- Fadyen, formerly of Murrry Harbor, now of Mabou Mouth. Warm hearted as ever, profuse in his hospitable invitations, un- changed except forthe inevitable changes of passing years, Mr. McFadyen will give a cordial welcome to any Island friends who may pass that way.

Want Gold Payment.
The New York Post says: The condi- tion of the money msrket is illustrated by the two time loans payable in gold made within the last four days. One of the loans is of $200,000.41 5 per cent, payable in seven months. The amount of the other was so large that the brother declined to tell the figures because he said they would indi- cate the parties to the transaction This loan was made at 44 per cent. At the time 5 per cent. was the ruling rate and it was not easy to get large sums at that. The broker who made the loans says bis clients preferred 3} and 5 per cent., with the gold clause in the notesto 6 per cent. on notes payable in currency. He de- clared there were persons with large amounts of money to lend who preferred the gold guarantee to a few thousand dol- lars additional interest in ordinary money.
Enquiries among bankars and brokers did not reveal any general lending of money at such low rates on gold, but they showed a general desire to secure an agree- ment for gold payments ot loans.
A leading banker said the large gold [exports recently and the agitation about free silver coinage are the causes of the willingness to take a lower rate of interest to secure payment in gold.
The desire for gold psy ments for mort- gages loans appears to be growing, too, A
i life i nee company will prominent life insura make none other than gold loans now.
