THE MAGDALENS,

A LAND OF CLEAR SKIES AND BEAUTIFUL TEMPERATURE.

ple--Description of the Isles.

Preferring the pleasures of the race yacht to those of the race horse and a drive over interminable beaches, we crossed the charming bay directly from House Harbor channel to Amnerst Island, where we were toenjoy the hospitality of the whole-souled rector for a few days before taking the steamer for home. With a stiff, fair breeze, a skilful pilot, a fleet and reliable craft, and companionship the most congenial, we made the passage in a couple of bours, although the di-tance covered was not than twenty-five miles. Ofcourse there was great danger for land lubbers in transit, for there, as on the great ocean, Nep'une is always more or less exacting; but although it was re- ported and often reiterated that the amiable doctor who accompanied us had psid a generous tribute on this occasion, whether we were ourse|f able to make ac- curate observation or not itis our firm conviction that, true to bis instincts, he delivered up nothing more substantia! than @ belated syilogism. At any rate we landed eaily in the afternoon at Am- herst Town, adaired its many pleasing

less

features, met some of the officials, visited the . pretty little gem of a church perched up on_ elevated ground and protected from the

north by the high peaks of Les Demoisel~ lee; took Juncheon in the epacious paro- chial residence intended by the late saintly Rev. Father Boudreault for a convent, and prepared to ride over country en calleche to the basin where Father Thereault, who had kindly come to meet us, lives, A pleasant drive through romantic hills,over winding roads lined by comfortable hold- ings, with the restless ocean in full view to the south of us, and we are set down at our jouroey’s ead. The Basin ia called after a little basin-sbaped pool on the beach beveath us, every year being ateadily diminished as the drifting sands fill it up. The ecclesiastical property is most admir- ably located here on the flank of a ridge of verdant spruce-clad hills, _ altogether sheltered from the northern blasts. The presbytery is easily the best in tbe islands, lt was built by avother reve-end Magdalen priest, Father Henri ‘Ihereault, a beloved class mate of our own, whom the Great Pastor early called to his rich reward, The immense church is now in course of repair or reconstruction, the original cost~ ly work done by a Canadian builder hav- ing been found entirely defective, thereby entailing on the victimized people a great loss of money. The new contract has beew entrusted to an Island builder named Sullivan, formerly cf Sparrow’s Road, King’s County, now resident in the Magdalene, and much in favor for his honesty and, capability. At the Basin we enjoyed the salt water bathing, the charming drives, the pure and bracing air of the lovely hills, and have no hesitation in declaring it, taken allin all, the ideal summering spot of the continent. There is, besides, good shooting on the sand bara, and trout fishing behind the mountains such as we cannot find elsewhere. Some of the fish we saw, and we have not avail - ed ourselves of the fishermen’s license eitLer, measuring eighteen inches in length.

They come into the lagoons on the west side of the island from the deep salt sea, and are of @ superior quality forthe table.

Awherst is like Prince Edward Island more than the other islands ofthe MagJa- lens, with the hills thrown in. It is somewhat larger than Al] Right, and if well farmed would yield a rich return to the husbandman’s toil. Upto the present it has not been as well cultivated as its sister islands, The population is 1,350 eouls, and these is an jmmense tract of land behiod the bills on the northwestern slope which is capable of supporting al- most as many more. Here everybody fishes, the chief centres being Amberst, Basin and West Point, where factories are much in evidence. The drive all along the eouth banuk of the Basin to West Point Light and back by the beach and mountain paths of the west is most enchanting in its picturerqueness. The road follows the high red bank at the base of which the deep-voiced ocean makes its ceaseless mel- ody. Offa mileortwo one would think, but in reality much more, Desdmen’s Is~ land,a small rocky eminence, receiving its name, some say, from the fact that the dead body of a sailor was discovered there in the long ago, others from its erstwhile resemblance to a corpse, stands in grim silence. As we pass the people salute us mcst cordially everywhere, the men never failing to uncover no matter how occup‘el at the time, the women with the grace so | peculiar to the Freuch, voachsafing a rees pectful inclination of their comeiy beads.

After we had crossed the beach at West Point in ourcircuit of Amberst Island, being unacquainted with the trail which leads to the mountain road on the north west we pearly succeeded in losing our- selves and our horses im the treacherous quicksands which aboued there. A bur-

ried undoing of harness, a united vigorous

] pall on the tail and the mane of the fast

sinking forward horse, which lent iteelf splendidly to the operation, and we suc- ceeded in placing him again on terra firma when quickly again attaching bim to the released vehicle wewere soon on

our way upthe mountain, rejoicing in our safety after so wove! and thrilling a1 «xperi~ ence. A long train of maiden clam-diggers coming along wiih their loaded charettes were the only witnesses of our rather curi- ous plight and the héroic exertions it necessitated. This mountain road is skirt- ed by groves of spruce, fir and some birch trees. Thbore few birches anda few row- ais were the only deciduous tries we noticed in the isiands, if we except the ever present elder. From the summit of those mountains which we climbed at a rapid rate we bebeld the sun, now one great mass f molten gold, go down into an ocean of rlory, gilding the hills, the clff-, the bays and reefeand sandtars and casing into tie mirrors ike Jegoous the multiplied re- tlect on of the many boats atanchor, or tae s'owly tying gulls overawed like ourse) ves, oy the magnificerce of the vision before us, The Magdaeo sunset will repay a visitto those northera isles despiie the opinion of Byron wh» has immortalized in the Corsair thosefof s: utbern ekice,

“Slow sinks more lovely ere his race be run,

Along Morea’s hills the setting sun;

Not as in noribern climes obscurely bright,

Bat one unchanging blaze of living Jight !

O’er tne hushed deep the yellow beam he throws, Gilds the green wave that trembles as it

glows.”

But we must now relinquish those fair is lands whose beauties and advantages as a summer resortive we have been imperfectly noting, and befure doing so Jet us say one word of the baidsbips of wint r in them the Magdalevs are as everybody know: completely cut off from the world for six months of the year. There is so commu- nication of any kind then; and the people receive no mails and baye vo intimat:on of what is going on outside themselves, except theyfget news by telegraph, and thet is costly and imperfect and dates back only a few years anyhow. Itis more than likely that the time will come, and may it come quickly, when this secluded comm- unity will have a winter boat to keep up at least some kind of communication with the mainland. It is to be hoped that our experience will profit them much when that day arrives. The Magdalen winter iscold,aod blustery and the sauw deep as with us; aod, necessarily, travel over bays end channels is att.nded$with danger. Still the people pass the long season pleasantly enonghb, we are told, preparing their nets and traps for the vext year’s work, securing and catting their wood, corning the stock, enjoying the pleasures of the family circie and euch cther inter- course a8 may be innocent and proper. The C M.B.A. which we established most firmly there will greatly add to the entertainment we hore.

It wes miduigbt, instead of 8 36 v’clocl, p. m. as scheduled, when after much waiting and watching, we heard the whis- tle of the St. Olaf under Amberst cliffs and ouradieux gratefully made, hastened to board her for home. Wehad driven up through the country of the Boudreaults, acountry which has givenistwo such estimable clergymen as the late Rev. Naz aire Boudreaul:, of Miscouche,and the Rev. Stanislaus Boudreault, now of Egmont Bay avd every inch of it was thus rendered dear to us. A last adien to their bhomethen,and down at the little raveway which serves as a landing place for boats, a handshake with Ci stoms Officer Cyrns§ )’ainchand, still on duty, aod we are afluat with a boatload of other passengers on the swelling waves of the barbor now shimmering ia the bright moonlight. Certainly no more delightful night could be chosen, and, disappointed though we were at the Gelay of the steamer which would prevent us from making our proposed railway con- uections at Souris, we stood on the bridge of the old ccaster for hours watcbing the outlines of the hoepiiabie. islands. fade away aod expressing over and over again to the travellers who now rejoin us, the great pleasure and benefit our weeks so- jurn had afforded us, All were equally lot d ‘a their praisee cf the place, and we feel sure willreturn again and again with renewed satisfaction. As for our. selves we shall henceforth maintatea @ lively interest in the Magdalene, their noble priests and gn rous people,~and always consider it a pleasant duty to do anything in our power to promote the projecta they have most at heart. With this purpose in view those hurriedly written and necessarly imperfect sketches, now bronght to aclose, have been cheers fully undertaken,
