CAMPING 179 



This brings us, I think, to the end of the subject. If I 

 have forgotten to mention anything of importance the reader 

 must forgive me, and even though such omission may 

 exist, it is to be hoped the hints and suggestions will prove of 

 some value. I must also crave forgiveness if I seem to have 

 dwelt too much on the less pleasant aspects of camping, but 

 it is by guarding against discomforts that one's pleasure may 

 be made most complete, for the delights of camping in the 

 island will speak for themselves and demand no precautions. 



In bringing this volume to a close, I can but hope that 

 the reader will have taken the material it contains in the 

 spirit in which it is offered, and even though its many short- 

 comings will have been noticed, it will perhaps stimulate an 

 interest in the wild creatures of Newfoundland ; and I 

 sincerely trust that the reader, should he ever visit the 

 island, will enjoy as much as I have the numerous delights 

 which it has to offer.
