Incidenis. Mownraeat, Feb. 10, 1879.

According to promise, I give you a short account of our trip across the Straits and over the Intereolonial and Grand Trunk | Railroads to this city. On Thursday, the Gth, we left Cape Traverse at nine o’clo¢k in the morning, with three boats manned i with as stout, muscular and daring crews as lever left the Capes. The passengers were | Senator Haviland, Senator Haythorne, Hon. |W. Brecken, A. C. McDonald, Esq., Dr.

a

Muttart, Sheriff Watson’s son, _ three mercantile agents and yeur correspondent. | Nothing could exceed the courtesy of Cap- ‘tains Louis Muttart and Muncey Irving. | They were anxious to keep the passengers from exposing thentselves too much to the dinger incident io crossing the Straits. At first our JOURNEY BETWEEN THE CAPES looked promising, and even the least cour- ageous amongst us considered crossing mere child’s play—exhilarating and somewhat ex- citing. But before we had reached two thirds of the distance across the novelty wore off and ‘‘ the thing became monoton- ous.” Where the ice was good we were able to get along at a lively pace, but as we approached Cape Tormentine we met with much broken and floating ice, and here and there lagoons of water, through which the boats had to be drawn. ‘To launch the boats, spring into them, and paddle away for dear life through lolly, and again jump upon the solid cakes of ice— pulling the boats after—are trying feats to the uninitiated. Every muscle is stretched to its utmost tension, every nerve is braced for the effort, and each man feels as if there is no alternative but to work or drown. Of course men work. The long experience of the captains enables them to judge, with almost unerring precision, the most favor- able places to cross. THE AGILITY SHOWN BY THE CREWS in jumping from cake to cake of ice, and crossing places where there is ‘‘ 2» > rest for the sule vf the foot,’ is truly wonderful. One of the commercial travelers—a Irench- man from Montreal, who had seen consid- erable crossing upon the ice on the River St. Lawrence, where the tide runs rapidly —expressed his opinion of the daring of our crews in very emphatic language: *‘ Dem tam Island fellows is perfactly rackless of dare live.” The FRENCHMAN,

a jolly, joking, lively sort of fellow, amused us by a running commentary upon every event as we passed along. We were no less amused by his shapes when compelled to jump into the boat. Being a corpulent man, he soon became ‘‘tired by the way” ; but his corpulency served him in his efforts to place himself. out of danger, for he sim- ply rested upon the. gunwale of the boat and swung himself, as upon a pivot, into 'her—his body forming a curve like a seal ‘when it raises head and tail simultaneously. Our French friend said -he ‘‘ had bean wreck in de Golden Gate once,” but he ** would never choose again tv be wreck in de Golden Gate” ; he ‘‘ had cross de cape once.” but he ‘*‘ would never choose again to cross de cape.” Captain Muttart does not allow anyone

TO DRINK LIQUOR

while crossing. This arrangement is a good one, and no one presumes to break the rule. But at the same time some of the passengers were a little disgusted with it, as they had not practiced total abstinence for so long atime (six heurs) for many years past. When within a mile of Cape Tor- ‘inentine we saw that

TOM ALLEN

had provided sleighs for our conveyance to ‘his ‘*Hotel.” -'Tom’s appearance was strik- ing. With a long ulster coat covering every part of his body bunt his head and feet ; when he extended his righfarm he looked like an eld-fashioned pump with the handle going up and down. He had, by some extra eflort, procured a flag and raised it in honor of the ‘‘:inembers,” as he called the representatives. Tom’s method of greeting the ‘“‘member:,”’ when near shore, was peculiar. He roared ont at the top of his voice, ‘Stand aside you Island ‘members’ from them other fellows, and let us have a look at you.” He was no way abashed in the presence of the ‘members,’ and did not restrain his unruly member, but ‘‘spoke free,” varying his conversation from violent expletives about the length of time taken in crossing the straits, tow warm welcome to the Dominion. We reached

CAPE TORMENTINE

about three o'clock, making the trip im six hours, a time longer than is generally taken in crossing. An excellent dinner was pro- vided by ‘Tom, and the trip across had sup- plied an excellent appetite to those who sat down to his table. We did not remain long at the Cape; but sufficiently long to discover that Tom is the ‘‘boss swearer” of this Dominion. Before leaving we were entertained by aspeech from Tom, which wound up with some of his choice language. Translated into plain Eng- lish, 1t was meant for a remind- er to the ‘‘members” to look out for the little Island. I am not sure but

Port Elgin at a honse Hewson, who provides ¢».i fare and. pas- sable beds. We remaive’ all night, and next morning pursued © | y over seven- teen miles more of road, «ii we reached the Mountain House, about half a mile from Aulac Station. Travellers are here provid- ed with dinner. Fresh codfish is a dish served at every house along tie road we came. It has occurred to me that this fish could be caught somewhere along the coast of the Island in winter. It is a most agree- able change from salt cod, or even beef, Many who desire fresh codfish or hake, may be like the sailors in the month of the Amazon, signaling for water when all that was necessary was to drop their buckets and draw it up. We took the cars at AULAC STATION

about three o’clock, arriving at Moncton at 4.40, just about ten minutes too late to see the now celebrated or notorious Annie Parker, who is undergoing trial for perjury. An accident to the train which occurred between Halifax’ and Moncton caused it to be behind time, and we had tu wait till half-past eleven—the regular time for starting from Moncton being half-past nine, At Moncton we met F. T. Newbery, Esq., who is on his way to Toronto.

We met also Mr. T. Stevens, of the Moncton Times, who kindly furnished all the information we required at Moncton. We placed ourselves under the the guidance of Senator Haviland, who seemed familiar with all points along the line. The Senator never wearied in pointing out all points of interest as we passed along. In the morn- ing early we found ourselves at Rimouski, where the European mails are landed and sent along by rail. Rimouski has a fine college built of a blueish grey stone, and a convent built of brick. They are modern looking ' buildings, and of considerable dimensions. As we passed aloug close by the St. Lawrence River, our attention was taken up by the wild Aretic appearance of the broken iee. Occasion- ally, a blue line would indicate that the ice had not bridged the whole of the River. The high lands on the north side of the River stand ont boldly and, to one not ae- eustomed to look upon a hilly country, present a very attractive appearance. The Islands of Bic are very picturesque. The bold, grey weather-beaten rocks run up toa great height. Here and there a dwarfed fir tree has found sufficient soil to strike root and grow. ‘This country, where the line passes through, seems to have been fitted by nature for railroad building. A level stretch of. country, varying from ene to two miles in width, and hundreds of iniles in length, offers no great engineering difficulties; although near New Bruns- wick, and for some miles after that Proy-, ince is left, there are some exceedingly deep cuttings through solid rock. The villages” along the southern side of the St. Lawrenee River have a great similarity,—the most. striking building in most cases , being the substantial church, invariably built of. a bluesh,grey kind ofstone. The dwellings” are mostly small wooden buildings. No variety of architecture is perceptible. Every nran seems compelled, either by law or cus- tom, to build a house of the same dimen-_. sion and style as his neighbor. Each roof has a curve near the eave, which, in the opinion of the uninstructed, does not add io its utility or beauty. The farms are laid out with singular uniformity, and do not appear to vary any in width. The wind- mill attached to every barn for threshing purposes, seems to be an institution in this Province. Ido not know whether it will be a matter of importance to you or add to the grandeur of the car, to let you know that the one in which we travelled was oc- cupied by the Marquis of Lorne in his trip» from Halifax to this city. We arrived at

MONTREAL

ahont half-past six Sunday morning, well pleased with eur journey. Senators Hav- iland and Haythorne entertained us with their conversation about the capital and the doings of Parliaments in the past. Mr. Daly, M. P. fer Halifax, and Mr. Ogden, BI. P. for Guysborough, lady and daughter, also Senator Botsford, travelled in the same car from Moncton. The M, P.’s and Sen- ators, with one exception, are Liberal-Con- servatives. By the way, I had nearly for- gotten to mention that a genuine

LIVE BARONET

was compelled to travel on the same train and in the same car with a number of us who are of the common herd. He did not inform us of what stripe of politics he is, and so far as sociability is concerned, is quite a failure. I do not think he was guilty of the vulgarity of speaking to any one on the train from Moncton to Montreal. If conferring the title of Baronet upon a man compels hisa to isolate himself from his fellow-men, the sooner we have Republican’ institutions introduced the better. How-. ever, as nobody craved for the acquaintance, of our whilom Knight, perhaps no loss was sustained by any of the passengers.
