Left Godericli at 9.50 a.m., with Mr. H. Blunden on board, ran down the 

 shore and past Point Kettle, and struck a squall from the west. Arrived 

 at Point Edward at 5.15 p.m., where we landed Mr. Holden, and Mr. Blun- 

 den at Sarnia, where we spent the night. Left Sarnia on Sunday morning, 

 arriving in Walkerville at 1.30 p.m., with Mr. Chauvin on board. Remained 

 at Walkerville until Wednesday repairing boiler, etc., when we left for 

 Pelee Island, calling at Sandwich and Amherstburg on the way. Next day 

 went over to the Old Hen Island, and cruised about around East Sister 

 Island and North Harbour, but no one to be seen on those islands. Returned 

 to the west dock of Pel^e Island about noon, expecting steamer "Louise," 

 but she passed the dock. We left again at 3 p,m., arriving at Kingsville 

 at 5, and made fast for the night. Left again next morning for Amherst- 

 burg, where Mr. Holden left the boat for Windsor. The three following days 

 were spent at Walkerville, and on Tuesday, as Mr. Chauvin reported that 

 he would be ready to leave, we started at 1.45 with Mr. Chauvin and Mr. 

 McVittie on board, arriving at Kingsville at 6.35. Left Kingsville at 9 a.m. 

 next day, with Mr. Chauvin, Mr. McVittie and Mr. Wigle on board. Stop- 

 ped at Leamington, where Mr. Wigle got off. Left again at 10, and down 

 along the shore and hailed for Wheatley, stopping the steamer "Louise" 

 while Mr. Chauvin and Mr. McVittie examined the fish for about 20 minutes. 

 Then continued along the shore and arrived at the Rondeau at 5 p.m., where 

 Mr. Holden came on board. Left again at 5.30 in the morning in the teeth 

 of a gale with a big sea. Arrived at Port Stanley at 11 a.m., and left again 

 at 1 p.m., for Port Burwell. Remained there over night, and started again 

 at 6.30 a.m., with Mr. Holden and Dr. Burt on board. Rounded Long 

 Point with a big sea from the east and arrived at Port Dover at 2 p.m., and 

 waited there for Mr. James Vokes, who arrivied about 6 p.m. Left Port 

 Dover on Saturday at 6.20 a.m., with Mr. Holden, Mr. Vokes and Dr. Burt 

 on Board. Ran down the coast, but too much smoke to see. Arrived at 

 Port Maitland at 11.30, where these gentlemen left the boat to go to Dunn- 

 ville. Left Port Maitland at 1 p.m., and arrived at Port Colborne at 3.30, 

 and stopped for the night, and over Sunday. Mr. T. J. Briggs on board. 

 Remained at the Port all morning waiting for Capt. C. Moller and Mr. 

 Holden, who arrived at noon. Left dock at 12.30 noon, with Capt. Moller 

 out on the lake and adjusted the compass, returning at 2.30 and left again 

 with Mr. Holden, Dr. Burt and Mr. Briggs on board. Arrived at the ship- 

 yards at Bridgeburg, below Fort Erie, at 5.45 p.m., where they all left the

 at 8.45 p.m., remained there all night, and proceeded next morning at 5.30

 with a big sea on. Left again next morning at 6.30 for Kingsville, reaching 

 that place at 1.30 p.m., after a rough passage all the wav up. Mr. Chauvin 

 came on board at 2 p.m., and as he wished to see the fishermen we remained 

 over night. Next day we visited Pelee Island and stopped at the west dock 

 for an hour, but as there was too much sea there we went over to the north 

 dock, and put up for the night, leaving next day at 7 a.m. for Sandwich 

 coal dock at 12.30 noon and put on 18| tons of coal. Started again at 3 

 p.m. for Walkerville, and then on to Windsor for a couple of hours, and 

 back again to Walkerville, where we spent both Saturday and Sunday. 



On Tuesday, the 23rd June, left Walkerville, and when about three
