their dam and pitched in a piece of deep, spruce 

 woods. It was close to the water and connected with 

 it by various tunnels which the beavers use when the 

 lake is frozen over and they have to forage for their 

 food and exercise. 



The region around " Lookout Point " camp is well 

 cut up with moose and caribou tracks, and, as it com- 

 mands the two little lakes, is a very desirable camp- 

 ing spot. Four miles up the stream which runs into 

 the first little lake, is a good-sized sheet of water 

 about three and a half miles long and perhaps a half- 

 mile broad. Here we pitched our main camp and 

 built a cabin of bright, clean logs, flanking it on one 

 side with a commodious cooking and dining-room. 

 This we furnished with a modern cook stove and all 

 its appliances, not forgetting plenty of shelves for the 

 dishes and utensils. 



In the cabin itself we had a small stove, three bunks 

 to sleep in, and plenty of room to " loaf " and take our 

 ease. Within two minutes' walk from this camp is a 

 rocky point overlooking a secluded cove where the 

 deer come out in the early morning or at sundown to 

 drink and play upon the sandy shores. We made this 

 our middle camp, and it was here that we kept all our 

 stores, as well as our surplus clothing. Six miles up 

 the stream that feeds this lake we had our end camp, 

 which we called the " Dam Camp," because it controls 

 a, dam a quarter or half a mile further up-stream.
