1908 GAME AND FISHERIES. 71 



at 4,50, when we shaped our course for Michipicoten through squalls and 

 rain all the way over. Arrived there at 10 a.m., with Mr. Holden and Mr. 

 Hand on board. Spent the balance of the day putting in new bridge wall 

 in furnace and cleaning boiler. Remained there over Sunday. Left again 

 at 5.45 a.m. Monday for Jackfish with the sea dead astern. Shut in with 

 fog until 5 p.m. and had to stop for two hours. Arrived at Jackfish at 6.30 

 p.m. after a hard day's run with sea and fog. Left there next morning at 

 7.15 for Rossport, where we arrived at 11.15 and waited for Mr. C, N. 

 Sterling, Game and Fishery Warden, and found lots to do, as Mr. Holden 

 wanted to see some of the fishermen. Remained there over night, and left again 

 at 2 p.m., steaming slowly up Nipigon Bay and stopped at Simpson's Island 

 one hour on account of fog. Came to anchor under the main land, wind blow- 

 ing hard. Mr. Holden and Mr. Sterling on board. Commenced to get under 

 way on Thursday morning at 7.30. Ran down to Jack Pine Bay, where we 

 left gasoline boat in water and went on shore and found a party of 13 men' 

 camped in the Bay from Houghton, Michigan, without angling permits. 

 After supplying them with permits, we returned to the steamer and headed 

 for Nipigon River, arriving off the river at 1 p.m. Weather stormy. Anchored 

 and came into river with gasoline boat, then returned and got under way, 

 and came in the harbour, as it began to blow a gale. Arrived at dock at 6 

 p.m. Yery stormy. Left on Friday at 2 p.m. after the wind died down, 

 and came slowly down the river and got over the bar all right, hoisted gaso- 

 line boat on deck and shaped our course for Nipigon Straits, anchoring inside 

 Moss Island at 6 p.m. for the night. Left on Saturday at 5.40 a.m. Arrived 

 at Port Arthur at 2 p.m., where we landed Mr. Holden and Mr. Sterling, 

 then shifted to coal dock and put on coal, returning to Booth dock, where we 

 made fast for the night. Left Port Arthur on Sunday at 5.45 a.m. for Ross- 

 port, arriving there at 5 p.m. Mr. Holden and Mr. Gordon on board. Left 

 again next morning by the steamboat channel and hailed down the shore to 

 Jackfish harbour, where we had to remain till next day on account of fog. 

 We then called at Michipicoten Island, and from there on the day following 

 shaped our course to Whitefish Point and thence to Sault Ste. Marie. On 

 Thursday called at Thessalon, and on Friday at Gore Bay, where we painted 

 the deck and overhauled the engine. Remained there until Monday the 17th 

 August, when we left for Little Current and Killarney, and on Tuesday at 

 the Bustards and Byng Inlet. Yery heavy sea. On Wednesday, after the 

 weather cleared somewhat, we went on to Point au Baril and Ojibway, and 

 the next day went down the Inner Channel to Parry Sound, leaving again in 

 the morning early for Carling Rock light, but as the wind was blowing a gale 

 had to turn back to Depot Harbour and remain all day. On Saturday, started 

 again at 4 a.m., but as there was too big a sea on, had to turn back to the 

 Pancakes, where we dropped anchor and remained all night. On Sunday 

 we tried it again, but once more had to return to Depot Harbour, which place 

 we left on Monday at 4.30 a.m., arriving at Penetang at noon. Next day 

 called at Beckwith Island, Lone Rock Island and Big Gull Rock, and on to 

 Sans.Souci, where we arrived at 4 p.m., and at 7 p.m. shifted over to Copper 

 Head Island and made fast for the night. On Wednesday went up the 

 Wabuno Channel and out by Snxrg Harbour ranges, up Point au Baril Chan- 

 nel and stopped at Point au Baril. Called on some of the hotels, and stayed 

 all night. Patrolled round Copper Head and Sans Souci with power boat, 

 and found everything all right. Sold three angling permits at Oldfield's 

 House. On Thursday had small boat round Point au Baril and Ojibway for 

 three hours, and called at some cottages, where we found all with permits. 

 On Friday the 28th went down the inner channel and out by Red Rock to 

 Parrv Sound, leaving next morning for Penetang, where we remained over 

 Sunday.
