thinks we cannot cross, though the snow has stopped, and it is fine at 11 a, m. While the wind is in the present quarter, N. E, there is so much “‘lolly” on the other shore that we could notland. Lolly is a mixture of snow, small ice, and water, and it may be 10 feet thick and extend a mile from the shore. Can’t walk on it, nor row nor sail through it, must wait until the wind changes to drive it down the Straits. People are civil here and the men seem a sturdy respectable looking set of fellows,

The house stands at the point of land near the light hcu-e. The sea is frozen

right up to the shore. It reminds me of pictures of glaciers I have seen. The shape of the waves seem to be preserved, and there are great drifts of snow. We cannot see more than half a mile. All isa barren marsh and the whole scene is wild and desolate beyond description. We are 40 miles from a station, and there is no town near, only the village of Bayfield two miles ; : ; ;

It seems a wonder that no one starts a better hotel. They say it would not pay, as there is no custom here through the great- er part of the year. Itis only busy just at _thisseason, when this being the nearest point to the Island, the mails arrive and depart.

Passengersfrom the Island arrive and depart at once going on to Amherst without delay; but those going to the Island have

‘to sleep here to be ready for an early start.

Unless the boats left before 8 a. m., it _would be better to keep at Port Elgin and start at 5 a. m., anddrive the 18 miles in the early morning, thatis, for anyone who was particular about quietness and company.

| Zowever, I dare say we shall get on all right.

2 p. m.— Landlord came later, backed by several of the men to really ask for a ser- vice and a few words this afternoon; so at half-past three we are to gather in the kitchen and Iam to preach. God help us

all !

The men, I find, are mostly farmers who only take to this ice-boat work in the winter time. Some are very good looking fellows.

The sleighing was, for the most part, very smooth, but here and there jolty. For one strip of the road there was a series of frozen drifts, and the motion was like going over waves, the sleigh creaking and groaning like a snip.

They came in while I was writing, and we | exchanged courteous greetings. ‘The cross- ing has been very good to-day, but from all they say, it seems to be hard work and | very exciting.

There is a lady here with a little girl ‘going over with us to-morrow, returning howe efter spending Christmas in Halifax.

TuHurspay, Jan. 18,

‘At Cape Tormentine.—At 8 p. m. we started from Port Elgin in a better sleigh than the former one. That was a common | wood one, and we sat piled up with Her | Majesty's ‘mails. This is a g good, double- ‘seated one for passengers only. Driver, ‘and a gentleman passenger sat in front, | Mrs. and | behind, with the little girl, aged seven, between us. | Very cloudy, so we did not have the ‘benefit of the moon. It was, however, fairly light. About halfway we stopped to | water the horses and make some changes. Mrs. complaining of cold, the driver | wrapped her in his fur cloak. On starting ‘again she sat in front with the little girl. /This gave the driver net much room, and 'on two occasions he was pitched right out linto the snow by the jolting of the sleigh | over adrift. The horse, fortunately, did ‘not run off, but stopped when called to, so ‘no harm happened, and the driver ‘‘John” took itall asa matter of course. A cold ‘and dull drive.

Reached Cape Tormentine at 11.15 p. m. in a snow-storm.

Our greeting was in some ways @ noisy one.

On arriving we went into a small parlor where the landlord’s daughter waited on Mrs. and the little girl. Others in the house dropped in to look at the new- comers, and, as one or two of them had been drinking, it was arather odd scene.

After some little time Mrs. got a ‘room with a fire for herself, and Mr. and I had another room between us. This room had three beds, and the driver of the sleigh who acted pretty much as host, apologetically said it would be necessary to put two other men into the third bee, We suggested that he come himeeif, and he said he would. However, by the bang- ing of the door, the latch got fast. and, though several tried the door in the night, no one came in and we had the room to ourselves.

Got up about 7.30 to find a driving snow- storm and no chance of crossing the Straits to-day. Not acheerful prospect, the stay- ing in this house for perbaps two er three days until crossing is safe. The landlord was profuse in his apologies this morning for the way in which he greeted me last night. Wants me, as a token I forgive, to

} p. m.-—The service was really a success. The idea quite took among the young men. T got out a lot of Mission Hymn Books and we hada rehearsal in their room. The people of the hovse threw themselves heartily into it, clearing out the large kitchen where we all had our meals.

One young man wanted full Church ser- vice, but as only two Prayer Books - could be heard of besides my own, it did not seem possible,

About thirty men were present, and be- hind them the landlady,’ her daughter, servant, and our other fellow travellers. We sang ‘Jesu’ lover of my soul” heartily enough, followed by the Genera] Confession and some prayers. I then spoke for about 25 minutes on Joshua’s question to the Angel, ‘‘Art theu for us, er for our adver- saries,” the working-man’s question to the parson, who may rightly give the Angel’s answer. All were very at‘entive.

The young men borrowed some Hymn Books and are now singing in their own room

Fripay, Jan. 19.

2 o’clock, noon.—We have had varied experiences and are stiJl detained here. They will have todo without me at Char- lottetown to-night and to-morrow; it iz even possible that I may not get there for Sun- day. Mr. Archibald, Superintendent of the P. E. Island Railway, who is travelling with us, says that if we get over anytime to- morrow he will order a special engine for us to run down to Charlottetown.

Last evening I sat with the men and we told one another stories for an hour or so. About nine they turned in and I followed not long after. Woke at 6.30. Beautifol morning, clear and cold. Went out to see the sun rise. It was a mest beautiful sight. Away to the north the low black line of the Island to which we look with longing eyes. Between us, another Island, the expanse of frozen sea with here and ‘there lines of deep biue water. I did not see the first of the sun, but as he came up, the changing light was beautiful indeed, the rosy bands of light shifting and changing into brilliant gold, the various tints touching the frozen waves and hummocks of ice until the sea looked like a sea of gold and rubies. It was a rare sight and made one think of the description of the sunrising at the Righi, though this, no doubt, is not to be compared with that. Rev. XV. 2., describes it: ‘A sea of glass mingled with fire.”’

Breakfast over, ali packed for the start. The men walked on to prepare the boats, while we bid a glad farewell to the house and inmates, and got into the sleigh.

We started in the glorious sunshine, the sleigh moving easily over the ice after the first jolting start. We went down the

‘shore with a rush as if we were going really

to sea; but afterwards it was hard to realize that we were not on dry land, the board ice, as this near the land is called, being so very firm and thick. In some places it is over-shot—that is, several sheets have rushed up on one another. In this way the hummocks and great heaps we see are formed

Arrived at the boat, about a mile from iand, there was a great consultation going on, and to our infinite disappointment, we were told we could not go. It seemed so strange with such a brilliant sky overhead. T+ seams the wind is in the wrong quarter; and though the captain started hoping to cross, on coming to the edge of the ice he saw that the tide, and other matters he understood, made it impossible. We should be out the whole day, and it was almost certain we could not Jand, on account of the aforesaid *‘* lolly.” turning sadly, we find by telegraph that the oats that started on the other side, coming way, had been compelled to put back. This decides it, though we cherish a vague

(I started to walk to the light-house, abo | half a mile off. We tried the bank and a field firet; but finally decided it was best to get down on the frozen sea, and in this way we got along very weil, avoiding the dvep drifts.

At the light-honse we found, not a lonely man as I supposed, but a bright looking woman with two little girls. Her husband works as book-keeper in a. store, there being no light-house duty in the winter, when navigation is stopped. After a little talk with her as to the life, ete., we clam- bered up the light-house ladders to the lantern, and through a tiny door to the gallery running round,

The lantern is a four-light revolving light, worked by ciock-work, with heavy weights.

From the gallery we could see the Island clearly and the Straits between. The ice in the middle has shifted with the tide, and there is more beautiful blue water te be seen than before. It all looks so calm and still that itis hard to believe we cannot cross. However, there come the sleighs, bringing back the mail bags from the heat. so the men have clearly given it up as hope- less. Alas! 1 was to preach in Charlotte- town to-night.

A pleasant walk back, got us to the house by 11 a. m.

I find we are in New Branswick, having crossed the line out of Nova Scotia some two miles off. Amherst, where we le't the railway, is in Nova Scotia.

A party of three men arrived here this morning with the mails, intending to accom- pany us; prvbably our uumbers wil) be further increzsed to-night. _We were more fortunate than these men; for we left Am- herst at 3 p. m., andarrived here ai 11 p. m., while they, leaving a day later, sfter the snow-storm, found the rocds so bad that, leaving at the samo hour, they only reached here at 7.30 a. 10., being nearly 17 hours On the way. They spent the night dragging the sleigh through the drifts, and arrived quite tired out. To-day will give them a rest before the ice journey, which, from all accounts, must be pretty severe. I saw the boats to-day. They are boais of peculiar construction, adapted for the work, coppered, and fitted with steel runners underneath, something like a double keel, the runners being 12 or 18 inches apart, They do not use sails at all, the ice being never clear cr smooth enough to allow of them, and there being much getting in and ont of the water at times.

As soon as we returned this morning, I was requested to have service again to-day; but to let it be in the evening, instead of the afternoon, and they would ask the neighbors to come in,

At 6 p. m. we had rehearsal, and at 7.30 service. ‘She rehearsal was very good, The men came frem all parts of the house and began to sing at once. I taught thema new tune—new to them—‘‘ Sun of my Sou).” They have good ears and picked it up very soon, and we sang it at the service capitally.

The service was well attended, all the men being there and a few neighboxs. Sermon on the shipwreck of St. Paul.

These fellows from the Island seem to me a steady, respectable set. It is too bad that there is not some better provision for them when they are detained on this side. They ought at least to have a good room, with some tables and benches in it, and proper accommodation to dry their clothes. Some books and papers ought to be pro- vided for them. If a man does not want to drink or play cards, there is nothing for him to do and no placa to sit. One of them said to-day, ‘‘ This is not a good place for a woiking-man to have to spend his time in,” and from what I caw, I believe his words, (Since writing the above I have heard that the proposed railway will make a great change. soon, )

Monpay, Jan. 22nd.

In Charlottetown, D. G./ 1 have a great deal to write now, and must try and ‘take up my story where I left it on Friday night.

Bright and early I got up to see the sun rise, and to learn our hopes of goihg off. As I was up before the sun, and it was a brilliant morning, the sight was even more beautiful than yesterday. All were up in good time and in good spirits too, as the captain had decided we could go.

At 8.30 a.m., we were really off after good-byes all round.

The start was a curious scene. Sleighs piled up with mail bags and passengers, luggage, horses steaming, groups of men around in fur cape and fur coats, except the crews of the boats, who for the most part wore no coats, on ly vests and shirts or brown cardigan jackets. We startea— a party of forty-two men, one boy, one lady and a little girl We had to leavea young woman who came this morning, with two other passengers, and much baggage behind. The boats would take no more, and those who had waited the longest must have the first. chance.

After the drive over the board ice, the boats were all loaded, and we were ready to go at the word. Mrs.—--—— and little girl went in the Captain's boat. I went with his son.. We had five boats in all, ours being the heaviest with ten men in- cluding myself. Of course Mrs, and little girl were packed in with bags, fur coats and hot bricks, not to move until we got over to the other,side. 1 could have gone in the same way if I had liked, and had paid a little extra; but am I not a man among my brethren? My place was third on the left of the boat, between two men passengers who hed both crussed before. The man next behind me had a brother on the other side of our boat, who jokingly said that he did not think bis ibrother had ever followed a clergyman | befure—vdetter for him if he had! Every man has a strong strap passed over his ishoulder and under his arm. By this he pulls the boat along and is himself kept
