1911 GAME AXD FISHERIES. .103 



Bensfort Creeks, but there was nothing doing. On Tuesday, April 19th, we left 

 Bensfort Bridge at 7 a.m. Dragged creek at Campbelltown ; also Kent's Creek and 

 Steamboat Creek, from there to mouth of Otonabee River, thence to Harwood and 

 Idylwyld ; from there to Keene and Ooge River at the mouth of Trent River. 



On Wednesday, April 30th, we patrolled the River Ooge with rowboat from 



7 a.m. until 10 a.m., then patrolled the River Trent from the Ooge to Hastings, 

 and took on a half ton of coal. Left Hastings and ran to McNaughton's Island, 

 and laid over night, but took the small boat at 7.30 p.m. and patrolled the lake 

 until 10.30 p.m. There was no jack lighting on Rice Lake. On Thursday, April 

 21st, left McNaughton's Island at 7 a.m. and ran to Rama Point; then took row- 

 boat and rowed to Roach's Point; thence to Plumb Point, and found two 3^ellow 

 bass had been cleaned there. In conversation with a farmer, I was informed that 

 James and Maden Howard were using the cottage for trapping, so we stayed 

 around until they came back at 11.30 a.m., and they gave permission to search 

 their cottage, and in doing so found a net about seventy-five feet long, and quite 

 wet; also found some cooked bass, that had been cooked quite recently. We then 

 went to the steamer at Rama Point, and patrolled the waters from Rama Point to 

 Gore's Landing, thence to Bewdley and back to Jubilee Point. Saw Inspectors 

 McAllister and Kent. 



On Friday, April 22nd, cleaned steamer and left Jubilee Point at 9 a.m. 

 Patrolled part of Rice Lake and Otonabee River to Steamboat Creek, dragged 

 creek thoroughl}^ and then ran to Kent's Creek, and patrolled it with drag." Saw 

 a quantity of maskinonge and bass; left there and came to Devil's Creek and 

 Riddle's Bay, dragged there thoroughly, but found nothing, and then came to 

 Hall's Bridge. At 6 p.m. started to row, and went up Creek, and 



found one small net about seventy-five feet long. Patrolled the creek until 10 

 p.m., and returned to steamer for the night. On Saturday, April 23rd, we left 

 Hall's Bridge at 7 a.m., came to Goodfellows' Creek, and patrolled there; thence 

 to Robinson's Island, but found nothing, and came to Street Railway Wharf at 

 Peterboro', and cleaned steamer, and took in coal and provisions for the follomng 

 week. On Sunday, April 24th, laid at Peterboro; it rained all day. On Monday, 

 April 2oth, patrolled the waters from Peterboro to Lakefield, and found quite a 

 quantity of sawdust floating on the river about one mile below Lakefield. I think 

 it was from the Cavendish Lumber Co. mill. Notified them to be more careful, 

 tlien took on Inspector Moore at Lakefield, and came to Young's Point, and thence 

 to Moore's Cottage, Stoney Lake. Chapper and Moore rowed for two hours, from 



8 p.m. to 10 p.m. 



On Tuesday, April 26th, patrolled from Moore's cottage to Crow's Landing; 

 rowed from there to the head of Stoney Lake, and back to Crow's; then patrolled 

 to Breeze Cottage; then rowed to Whitelake, and back to Breeze; patrolled with 

 steamer to Moore's cottage; thence to Burleigh Falls and Lovesick. Laid there 

 over night. On Wednesday, April 27th, patrolled from Lovesick to Deer Bay; 

 rowed all around Deer Bay ; then by steamer to Buckhorn, and from there to Sandy 

 Creek. Rowed up Sandy Creek to the head of Creek Hunter, and back by steamer: 

 thence by steamer to Herrington's Island, arriving there at 6,30 p.m. Started at 

 8 p.m. and rowed till 9 p.m. The reason for rowing from 8 till 9 p.m., thought 

 we saw jack lights, but on investigation found them to be lights from farm houses. 



On Tliursday, April 28th, patrolled from Chemong Village to Bobcaygeon, and 

 from there to Lindsay. Remained at Lindsay over night, and took rowboat at 7.30 

 p.m. and pati'olled the liindsay River to Sturgeon Lake, and back to Lindsay, 

 arriving there at 11 p.m. On Friday, April 29th, patrolled the waters from Lind-
