58 REPORT OF THE No. 32 



On Saturday we left for Kagawong, remaining there over Sunday. On Mon- 

 day we started for Meldrum Bay, but liad to go in to Barry Bay for shelter, 

 as the wind was too strong for our boat. After the wind went down we 

 continued our journey to Meldrum Bay, where we had to stay for two days 

 owing to the rough weather. Mr. Holden left on Wednesday evening by 

 the steamer "Caribou" to return to Penetang. On Thursday we left for 

 Meldrum Bay on our return trip, and when we were off Gore Bay the wind 

 blew so l;ard from the northwest we had to run in to Gore Bav for shelter. 

 The fishermen said they had not had as rough weather in two years. 



On Friday the 27th September, the weather being more favorable, we 

 left for Little Current, where we took on wood for fuel, and saw Mr. Oliver, 

 who said there was nothing for us to look after round there. From there we 

 went to Killarney, where we had to remain all next day. Sunday being 

 more favorable, but not by any means a nice day, we left for Collins Inlet 

 and Beaverstone, and on to the Bustards for the night. The fishermen there 

 said the weather had been so rough they had only been out once in ten days. 

 In the afternoon of Monday we went to t^e mouth of the French River, 

 where we could get on the inside channel, and went by Dead Island and 

 inside to Byng Inlet. From there to Point au Baril and Camel's Rock, and 

 to Penetang. 



On Thursday, October 3rd, we patrolled at Green Island and Quarry 

 Island, and in the bay near Pine Point. We were wind bound all next 

 day, and could do no patrolling. On Saturday went to Waubaushene, where 

 we found the fishermen getting their nets ready for the fall fishing. On 

 Monday the 7th, I left Penetang and went to Walkerville to go on the 

 steamer "Lurline." 



On Tuesday the 29th October I returned to Penetang from Goderich, 

 after the "Lurline" was wrecked, and remained in Penetang until the 4th 

 November, when I left with the steamer "Mary L." for the North Shore, 

 spending the night at Jubilee Island, as well as the whole of the next day. 

 We saw no fishermen on our way up the shore. The next two days we 

 visted Point au Baril and Byng Inlet, and on Friday the 8th, the weather 

 being more favorable, with Mr. Knight on board, we went to Dead Island, 

 where we made a seizure of the boats and nets of two fishermen, it being 

 the close season. When we got to Byng Inlet we fined them $10 each, and 

 the boats and nets were left with Overseer Knight at Byng Inlet. We then 

 took on some wood for fuel, and left for Point au Baril, but when we got 

 to Duffey Island it was blowing too hard for us to go out, so we tied up and 

 waited two days for better weather. On Friday we went to Point au Baril, 

 and from there to Indian Harbor, and on Saturday to Penetang. As the 

 small bays were , freezing over^ and our boat was not ironed to break ice, we 

 took all that belonged to the Department off the boat, and stored it away 

 for the winter.
