70 THE REPORT UPON No. 32 



dragging and patrolling all around Shawanaga Bay, and returned to 

 steamer at noon, after being out two hours with the power boat, which was 

 running all right. Got under way again at 1 p.m., and as the wind was too 

 strong to do more, we went on to Parry Sound, where we remained over 

 night, leaving again next morning at 6.45. Ran down through the Wabuno 

 Channel and stopped at Tottens Island. Mr. Knight left with the power 

 boat at 12.45 with two men to patrol as far as Moose Point, returning to 

 steamer at 7.40, After supper called at two cottages, and returned at 9 p.m. 

 for the night, making the boat fast to a rock. The weather was stormy on 

 Friday morning, with rain, and wind blowing a gale. Not fit to send the 

 boat out, so left Turning Island at 8.45, and came out by Lone Eock and on 

 to Methodist Bay. Still raining hard with a big sea all the way down. 

 Arrived at the dock at 1 p.m. Still too stormy to work the boat, so remained 

 over night, leaving again next morning at 7.30. Mr. Knight put the boat 

 in the water and patrolled round Methodist Bay and Point, but found 

 nothing wrong. Then ran over on east side of Giant's Tomb, when it started 

 to rain hard. Ran down to the north end and stopped at 10 a.m. The boat 

 broke down after patrolling the west side of Giant's Tomb. Got under way 

 about 2.30 and reached Penetang at 4.30, where Mr. Knight left for Parry 

 Sound. Spent Sunday at Penetang. 



On Monday, the 20th July, left Penetang at 5.45 a.m., passed through 

 Christian Channel and shaped our course to Griffith Island, thence down 

 the bay to Owen Sound, where Mr. Jermyn came on board. Left 

 Owen Sound at 9 a.m. Tuesday morning, taking Mr. Holden and 

 Mr. Jermyn. Ran out in the bay and circled around off Griffith 

 Island, but found nothing out of the way. From there went on to Cabot's 

 Head. Abreast of Winfield Beacon picked up a fish buoy with small mesh 

 net attached — about 536 yards, which Mr. Holden ordered taken on board. 

 We then continued on our way to Tobermory, where Mr. Jermyn left the 

 boat. Did not leave till ten o'cock next morning, being detained by fog. 

 Went out by Club Island, and found nothing doing there, so proceeded to 

 Killarney, and thence to Little Current. Next morning shaped our course 

 up 'the bay through rain and fog, arriving at Gore bay at 11.30 with Mr. 

 Holden still on board. Remained at Gore Bay balance of the day and all 

 night, and next day went to Blind River and on to Thessalon for the night. 

 Left again on Saturday morning for Bruce Mines, and thence to Sault Ste. 

 Marie, calling at Hilton, Richard's Landing and Desbarats on the way. 

 Remained at the Soo over Sunday and until 4 p.m. on Monday, when, with 

 Mr. Hand and Mr. Holden on board we left for Point au Pins, where we 

 spent the night, leaving again next day for Gros Cap and along the coast 

 and down the bay to Goulais Bay, and thence to Batchewana Bay. On 

 Wednesday we put the gasoline boat in the water and ran over to the Chip- 

 pay River and up the Batchewana River about three miles, returning to 

 steamer at noon. Left again at 1 p.m., and ran up the shore to Rosseau 

 Harbour, and then to Agawa Bay. 



On Thursday as the wind was off the lake with a big sea, we shifted out 

 into deep water and hung on till 3 a.m. Started to get under way, got anchor 

 up at 4 a.m. and worked slowly up the lake, ran past Sand and Gravel Rivers, 

 but did not call as there was too much sea to land a boat. Arrived at Gar- 

 gantau at 7 a.m. and were shut in by fog until 1.25 p.m., when we started 

 for Michipicoten, but could not make any stops on the way on acount of the 

 wind and heavy sea. Left next morning for the Island, and were out li 

 hours when the wind came down from the west with a big sea. Turned back 

 at 11.30 a.m. and ran for Gros Cap, where we remained until next morning
