An-Ideal Place to

Spend a Holiday

'_'

(Continued)

'l he tales of former fishing ex~

ploits made those of us who were unfamiliar with the possibilities of Bonshaw eager to try their rods, and we set out with more or less eagerness. The Micinac took us all in_ his boat and on the way up stream from our cauip to Crosby’s Mills two rods \vere kept busy. But only one fish of diminutive size answered the iiivitation and it, with regret and sonic scorn, was cast back into the water.

At the mill, however, better luck

was in store and a jolly afternoon was spent, the efforts of all who fish- ed being rewarded by good catches of trout, which though not large enough to write stories about, were of a_size sufiicieut to be discussed with relish at the breakfast table next morning.

There is not a much prettier spot

in the Province than the nciglibor- hood of cmsbys Mui. ' '

The old romantic, over shot water

wheel has passed away giving place to turbines which turn the nia- chinery for the saw-mill and for the finer new flour mill where a mo_dern roller process has displaced the old iiiachiiicry which constitnt~ ed ther “grist iuill”` of Bonsliaw’s early history.

Of Crosby’s Mill there will be

more later on. On that afternoon the fisliiiig and the scenery, as we went up and down the river, cn- grossed our attention.

None of us arc likely soon to for-

get that"trip. Bonshaw was look- ing at its best. The full beauty of summer was upon the field and forest and the waters of the river trembled and glowed as they rc- flected the light of the sunshine.

Now rind then would be heard

the usual variations of the old fa- miliar fishing cxclaniatioiis.

A line would switch and the ang-

ler would remark with aniildly dis- appointed inflection : "My, but 1 think that was a big fellow I" and sii on-if_you’ve been fishing you will know what it means. _

In the iiicautiine our lllicuiac

guide was exercising those natural attributes of wood craft which have come down to him through a pure- blooded desceiit from a good Miciiiac ancestry. ' He told us he was thirty years old, was six feet one inch tall; weighed '_2_3o lbs; aii_l was a pure hlooded Micinac. His looks bear out all lie says; he is one of th: finest Mlcniacs that yet remain up- on this Island to indicate what klnd of men here roamed the wild ere civilization traiiezforiiied the wilderness into a "pale-faces” dwelling place. '

In mguy ways he showed that the

instincts of his race were strong within him. Did a musk rat P0k° the tip of its nose above the surface of the stream and mark the water with ii V shaped-trail, the Indiiinls eye perceived, it before any other. Sscmfhgly qtiiet and imobservaut he was alwriys on the alert, and nothing escaped hiini He ‘"3 mu of information about the life on stream and land. HWM wing found a .quicker

`way of 'procuring trout than by whipping the s reain for theni. Noticing some flashes of light asv wiirliiig the weir by which the waste waters of the mill darn ts:aped he soon perceived they were caused by trout juniping up from the pool be low and struggling along the slip- pery inclined sluice way until they got into the higher and calm waters of the dam above. No sooner was the Miciiiac aware of this than he grabbed the landing uct and hcgaii to ta/ke toll of the ascend- ing fish. llc was greatly chag» rincd to learn that his method could

not bc countciiaiiccd either by ns or by the Fish and Game Protective Association. _

'l'lierc followed the sail back to

and inade purchases at the store. Apleasant interruption this, afford- ing a°n opportunity to amaze as wcll iiistri(ct the people of the place by the display of the latest fashions in male fishing costume as exhibited on our persons. _ ' '

When we got back to our tents

the tide had retired leaving the shore exposed, It was a uiiiddy bottom andthe Indian was in doubt where to turn the boat in so that we might igain high water maiik without incouveniciicc. One of our party, however, being eager to land and clothed in waders became ani- ' bitious to lead the way. He left the boat and made a bee line for the teuts. But liehad not taken a preli~ niiiiary survey of the approach to the shore and after ri few steps, each of which was into softer mud than before he finally landed in a bogliole and coiiiiiieiiccrl to sink gently but surely from our view. It happened that his progress liad‘hceii such as to inake none of the others eager tol follow in his footsteps,

llis prcrlicanicnt was one of no

danger but it called for more sym- pathy that it rcccivcd. \lVhy is it that the pleasures one enjoys on an outdoor trip make him absolutely "callous to any physical discoiiiforts that may befall. All that can be said in this case, is that as the half dozen in the boat watched their corurndc drilling a hole in the mor- ass with both feet ami sinking all the while, while the evil smelling ooze crime gradually higher 'e-»on him till at last it reached o\'_-. .fr_- tops of his wadcrs, they gave way Ito roars of laughter, nor offered the least help to their companion in his niifor\ii_iatc plight. There they stood in the boat aill looking on niirl shaking with mirth. Eventhe Ind- ian at last become infected and join- ed in the general chorus. ~

By means of a plank thrown to

him from the boat the uuliicky one Iextricatcd himself froiu his sliiny trap. It would be hard to tell what vexed him most, the accident of falling into the bogliolc or. the. fire ofchnfl' with which he was bonu harded. There was little sympathy apparently, but, nevertheless, all did what they could to provide him with dry garments .while l1is_on'\t

The rest of us found a better

place to land and soon were ready for the meal which was spread. How the food did disappear before the appetites which only one day on the open had engendered. i After tea a roaring canipfire was made. All gathered around and enjoyed its cheerful warmth till the shades of evening fell. Then beds were made up in the tents and all turned in and slept. lly-thc~ way, here is a 'bit of advice for those who go “camping-out.” l’nt lots of spruce boughs underneath you, and a blanket or two on top of theni. Then cover yourself with plenty of clothes if you want to be warni- for except on the warmest fiight in our sunnner you will feel

the need of warm covering. Those who slept close to the ground even with a lot of clothes beneath them éoinplziined of feeling cild tlirough the night.

'I`he_ Indian scored over us all.

When he was asked if he was warm in bed hc coolly rcplictl that he had licatcd sonic stones, placed them in his tent and slept uiost comfortably.
