Notes of a Trip to St. Pierre.
We left Halifax on Monday morning, the 5th inst., at eleven o'clock. The town was profusely decorated for the coming car- nival. Streets were hung with electric lamps, the shup-fronts were decorated with bunting, banners were stretched across the streets from house to house, while from
every pole in the town flags fluttered in the
breeze. As our steamer, the St. Pierre, left the
harbor, we met the English mail steamer Buenos Ayrean and two French warships, ‘just arriving in port. The men-of-war
were soon at anchor, and immediately they were saluted from the citadel, which was crowded with people, eagerly watching the harbor below, where the English men-of- war boats were busily laying mines and making other preparations for the naval display on the following day. The sight from the deck of the St. Pierre as she steamed down the harbor was a grand one. The citadel crowded with soldiers and citi- zens, the warships riding at anchor, the launches darting rapidly hither and thither; above all we could hear the rvar of the saluting guns, and could perceive through ‘the smoke flags of every shape and color, and of many nations, flying from every mast in the harbor.
Soon we left Halifax behind us, and be- fore long the beauty of the day—for it was a glorious day. Shortly afterwards the wind arose and the Atlantic rolled, and my companion and I sought our stiterooms and meditated on the fleeting pleasures of this life. About one o’clock the dinner bell rang, but that was‘all I had of the meal. After that, 1 think, the rocking of the ves- sel put me to sleep, for the next thing I remember was the steward summoning me to tea. Ltook as much as I dared (which was very little.) and feeling that I would be safer in my stateroom, turned in. After a while it did blow. The steamer tossed terribly, and I suffered accordingly. I do not wish to conceal the fact that | completely succumbed to my surroundings, nor in the least underrate the completeness of my tribute to Neptune. It is amusing, aow that it is all over, to think of what fancies crossed my mind, as I lay as still as Il could in my unguiet sufferings. I re- member taking agrim satisfaction in feel- ing how thoroughly I was enabled to realize a simile I had lately heard a friend of mine make use of. We had been working with his microscope, examining some transparen’ objects with the polariscope attached, Our conversation turned upon the polarisation of light, and he explained that the vibra- tion of light has two planes, which he illus- trated in this way: the mast of a ship has two separate motions; it progresses verti- cally asthe ship is impelled forward, and laterally through the motion of the billows. The simile is a very simple one, but I never understood it as clearly as then. For as the vessel pitched and tossed, and my head and my heels alternately went up and down, while the rolling was so great that I could hardly keep myself in my berth, then, but not till then, did { fully comprehend what was meant by ‘‘two planes of motion.” And then [| forgot everything in sleep.
We arrived at St. Peter’s Canal, at the entrance of the Bras d’Or Lakes at four o'clock the next morning. We took an hour to pass through the canal and then began the sail through the Lakes. The scenery is magnificent, and it was more ap- preciated by me because of the fact that the water was calm. Breakfast ap eight o’clock was greatly enjoyed. All our pass- engers, —some fifteen in number,— plucking up courage toappear. A French- man, from St. Pierre, returning from Par's, monopolized the conversation. He had a huge bottle of claret, to which he was much devoted, and which became the source of trouble hereafter, After break- fast we went on deck to enjoy the scenery.
Ir one of the Jakes we passed Indian ls- land, where a large number of wigwams was eredted. The Indians, I am informed, come here every year to pow-wow Avery peaceful pow-wow,it must be now, com- pared with those of former years, for in the centre of the little island stands a tiny chapel. and under the shelter of its cross the wig-wams are built. About ten o'clock we reached Baddeck, a prettily situated little village, and after a stoppage of an hour, discharging part of our freight, we resumed our voyage. Soon after this we came in sight of Sydney, the smoke from the coal mines of which we saw miles away. Che harbor was crowded with vessels taking in or waiting to be loaded with coal. Here we lay all night, and had ample time to see the town. It is surrounded by charming scenery, and the coast is one of the prettiest I have ever seen.
At ten o’clock next morning we left for St. Pierre and, alas, the calyy of the lakes was exchanged for the tumbling of the ocean. The weather was such as to com- pel most of the passengers to keep their berths. 1 succeeded in getting my sea legs and consquently suffered no discom- furt from the rolling and tossing of the ves- sel. Atdinner our friend the vivacious Frenchmen, discovered that his bottle of claret was almost empty, and became im- pressed with the idea that it had been tampered with. Then ensued a scene. Forcible and angry vbjurgations in French were hurled at the steward because he had not sat upall night to watch it, and these were met by the latter's gentle English, suggesting to Monsieur that he had drunk all the wine himself, a statement which was vigorvusly denied. It was only after the captain sarcastically promised to buy him acase of claret on our arrival at St. Pierre that Monsieur consented to swallow his indignation—and the remainder of the wine. For the rest of the day we were out of sight of land, and finding the time hang heavily upon my hands, and tiring of read-
ing, I turned in early and was soon in the land of dreams.
At5ia. m. 1 awoke to find that we had arrived at St. Pierre. It was raining dis- mally, and a dull leaden sky hung over everything, sothat my first view of the stony streets and cvuld-lovking, jail-like houses did not give a very pleasant im- pression of the town.
The town of St. Pierre is situated at the foot of a rocky hill, or rather, 1 should say, mountain, for it is very high and rises abruptly. The town itself is compactly built, an? stretches along the shore of the harbor, » hich is difficult of approach owing to the rocky nature of the coast. Indeed one’s first idea of the Island, when one sees the great rock ut the back of the town, is that it is all stony and barren, but | found, before I left, that there are a few little farms which redeemed the almost universal barrenness. About six o'clock we left the steamer and sought out the Hotel de L’Univers. It was not possible to see much of the town during the day, as it rained steadily the whole time ; there seemed to be more life and bustle in the harbor, in which are hundreds of vessels, than on shore. However, ia the afternoon Madam, our landlady, who was courtesy and good nature itself, on learning that we desired to purchase suiae wooden sabots to bring home with us, kindly came up tewn with us, and took us from shop to shop until we had completed our purchases. During our shopping I formed the impression that the chief characteristics of the town were the cheapness of liquors and the scarcity of horses. Not that I became bibulous, but wines of all kinds are everywhere; in iact, claret is used as a beverage instead of water, which, by the way, is very bad on the Island, quite thick and muddy, and of a dark yellow color. Instead ot horses, oxen are used, and very clumsy vehicles they have to drag after them. Of dogs there is a multitude which no man can number. These also are used as beasts ot burden and are harnessed into little low carts, two inthe shafts and one ahead, while a huge Frenchman, whose enormous sabots would of themselves be sufficient to fill the carriage, compels the poor animals to drag him about the town. ‘There are many of these affairs, and their appearance was to me inexpressibly ludicrous. When the driver gets out it seems as if the load is in some manner attached to his feet, but a closer inspection enables one to perceive that it is only his sabots, and the dogs evidently have never in all their lives dreamed of, much less seen, such light things as civilized shoes, We saw some very nice buildings, of which the Gover- nor's residence is the finest. It is surround- ed by a nicely kept garden, the only bright {spot in the otherwise barren town. Then there are the barracks for the soldiers who guard the Island,and the convict’s prison,the inmates of which perform all the work on the streets and roads, all of which are in excellent condition. These patriotic gentie- men, who have left their country for their country’s good, have done much for St. Pierre in this way.
This little town, isolated as it is, is com- paratively wealthy, its prosperity mainly arising from the fishing industry, the fish- ing vessels requiring large supplies and fishing material. Besides this, ail fish sent from St. Pierre to France receives a bonus of fifty per cent. upon its value—this of course adding materially to the building up of the colony. It is also a free port, cus- toms. duties being unknown. Nearly all the inhabitants of the town being either fishermen or sailors, and, clad in their blue blouses, as they clank about the streets in their wooden sabots, they remind one of what he has read of French seaport towns.
Q@ur second day in St. Pierre was spent far more pleasantly. Im the morning, ac- companied by my friend, I climbed the mountain at the back of the town, and the view which we obteinsd when we reached the summit rewarded us thoroughly for our labor. Before we had been long there we saw a squall coming uver the sea, and havy- ing no desire to be caught in a rainstorm, we started for shelter. Hopping and jump- ing over ithe boulders, we soon reached the bottom, On our way down, we passed groups of French women busily engagad in washing clothes at the little stream that noisily flows down the mountain side. | had never before svenfwashing in the open air like this. One woman | stopped to watch. She was seated in a box which pro- jected into the stream, and it seemed to me that she used sand where an English woman would have used soap. After scrubbing the clothes for some time with her hands, she beat them vigorously with a stick, and spread them on the ground to dry. Just then the squall struck us, bringing the threatened rain, and wo reached our hotel
o in time to escape a wetting.
After dinner the weather cleared and the sun shone brightly, and we made arrange- ments for a drive. I regret that my knowledge of the terminology of the stable and the hurse jockey school is limited, so that I am unable adequately to describe the ‘* points” of the extraordinary animal which was placed at ourdisposal. Perhaps it may convey some idea to the readers of Tnx ExaMIneR, who reside in Charlottetown, when I say it compared very unfavorably with Mr. DeCourcey’s famous brood mare. The vehicle, nothing but an engraving could give any idea of. It is called a buck- board. It has neither back nor front, nor sides. It chiefiy consists of boerd. What **buck”’ means | cannot tell, but my aching bones impressed it upon my recollection for ever.
We first visited a fishing village about two miles distant. While we were yet afar off we knew where it lay, for our noses pre- claimed its location. It was soon reached, and we were much interested in observing the dextrous manner in which the fish is cleaned and salted, and the process adopted for procuring cod liver oil from the livers of the codfish.
I noticed about half way up the moun- tain, not far from the sea which dashed against the rucky coast of the little bay,
