 is Lachine, whence the tourist can return to Montreal by 

 cars, or, shooting the rapids of Lachine (before described), 

 pass under the Victoria Bridge, and so land at the wharf in 

 the City of Montreal.

Travelling westward from Kingston nothing worthy of 

 note attracts the attention till arriving at J^apanee, whence 

 we for some time journey along the margin of the .beautiful 

 Bay of Quinte, — a bay which might with more propriety be

 stone edifice.
