Deer Luke, aud we keepclose to its shore for aboat 15 miles further, Here begins the really fine scenery of the trip and we strongly advise tourists to take a seat on the rear platform while passing down the valley of the. Humber river, As Deer Lake contracts towards its outlet the hills on both sides draw more closely together until the track passes through a narrow valley closely hemmed in by a series of almost perpendicular summits, rising in Mount Musgrave te a height of over 1800 feet. As the railway follows the winding river, keeping near the bank, hills of every shape and hue surround you, bere a tall tummit, covered to its top with fir, lifts its sharp peak skyward, there a bald bluff of many colored rocks rises sheer above your head, at every ture fresh shapes and hues meet the eye. At one point was the gigantic profile of a human tace looking skyward, at another @ mass of rocks showieg purple and white, red and black ia alternate
