BONNE liAY. 



Forty miles farther north Bonne Bay is entered. Another 

 traveller says o! it, "if anything it is even more magniticent in 

 natural liv^auty than the Bay of Islands. A lovelier scene cannot 

 be imagined. Great hills in tlie foregronnds and beyond ; monn- 

 tains peeping over each others' shoulders ; and away up in the 

 blue skv the .snow sparkled (m the higher storm-lashed peaks 

 which reared their heads far inland, all rolted in a beautiful 

 transparent atmosphere utterly unknown elsewhere. To the 

 iioith the hills were bare, rnggeil, precii)itous ; but on that par- 

 ticular morning the glorious sunsliine made them lose half their 

 -desolate bleakness. We climbed tlie nearest hill, liut only for a 

 short distance. Cliffs towered above us on every hand, over 

 •which poured cascades of melting ice (the time was early May) 

 thundering in the deep chasms below. The hoarse roar of water- 

 falls came from far and near. Tlie heat was almo-t unbearable 

 — and this in a land known only for its fogs I I We left Bonne 



Bav with regret." 



RETURN. 



The Grand Lake at Bonne Bay is Gol miles from St. John's 



And usually reaches it on the fourth or fifth day after starting 



from the capital, returning by the same route and calling at the 



..same j^orts as on the out\\ard triji. The round trip is usually 



made in nine or ten days. 



RETURN BY RAIL. 



When the Xorthern and Western Railway reaches Bay of 

 Islands, proljably l}y the close of the present year (1894) tourists 

 can land there and enjoy the railwav journey l)ack to St. John's, 

 thus obtaining greater variety. This will probably become a 

 favourite route for visitors.
