say to Fenelon Falls, around Sturgeon Lake, and back to Lindsay. Wind too heavy 

 to stay on Sturgeon Lake, On Saturday, April 20th, patrolled the waters from

 Fife's Landing; then walked home to Peterboro. On Sunday, May 1st, laid at 

 Chemong Park. On Sunday, May 2nd, patrolled the waters around Chemong 

 Park up to Herron's Island; then by rowboat to Fowler's Corners, and on the way 

 up found a night line six hundred feet long; think it belongs to the Herron family;

 Findlay's boathou?e ; then came back to Chemong Park, and patrolled to Chemong

On Wednesday, May 4th, patrolled the waters of Sturgeon Lake; left steamer 

 at mouth of Emily Creek, took rowboat and rowed to Emily Lake, and back by 

 steamer. This creek is a graiid place for spawning, the only drawback a great 

 amount of spawn is lost when the water leaves, and to avoid that I think there

 and twenty-five feet Avide; if this was done it would keep the bass and lunge in 

 deep water. After leaving Emily Creek we ran to Bobcaygeon and took on coal, 

 and then patrolled the waters of Pigeon Lake to Bates' Cottage, then took skiff and 

 patrolled around the mouth of Oraemee River. Wind was blowing too hard to 

 take steamer in among the snags and stumps.
