at G iu search of trap net at Beausala Island, as we had heard there was one there, 

 and after trolling all around for about three hours, the wind got up and M-e had 

 to return, having had no trace of trap net. Left next morning at 6 for Moon 

 River. Got as far as Potato Island, when gale got up and we had to return, as 

 the sea was too heavy for the " Florence." Started at G a.m. on Friday, visiting 

 all the hotels and private cottages at Honey Harbor, McCrae's Dam and Mus- 

 quash, where we remained all night. Heavy wind blowing all day. On Saturday 

 left for Sans Souci at 4.30 a.m., and called at both hotels and several cottages. 

 Remained at Sans Souci over Sunday. 



On Monday, 25th July, started at 7 a.m., and made 15 calls at hotels, clubs

 Started at 5.30 a.m. on Wednesday from Sans Souci, calling at hotels at Honey 

 Harbor, arriving home at 3.30 p.m. Left at 5 next morning for Severn River, 

 X)ortaged at Port Severn, and arrived at Mordaulphon Club, Severn River, at 8 

 B.m. Examined all permits, and went to Washington Club about three miles, and 

 examined permits there. Sold ten, patrolled around Gloucesterpool, and called at

 Blowing a gale all day Saturday, so could not go out with boat. Spent the whole 

 of the next week among the cottages and hotels at Honey Harbor, Sans Souci, 

 Copperhead, Iron City Club and other clubs, examining their permits. For the 

 three days the weather was too rough to go home. 



On Monday, 8th August, visited Waubaushene and Sturgeon Bay, looking for 

 a trap net at Sturgeon Point, but could get no trace of it, and saw very few rod 

 fishermen. The next few days were spent, as the week previous, among the cot- 

 tages and hotels, examining permits and looking after trap nets. Got one large 

 leader on Friday near Waubaushene. The following Monday called at fish houses 

 at Waubaushene and Sturgeon Bay, and for the next two weeks or more visited 

 several clubs and made a great number of calls at different places. 



On Monday, September 5th, went to Musquash and McCrae's Dam, and then 

 had to return on account of rain. Rain still continued in torrents next day, but 

 on Wednesday started out and got as far as Quarry Island. Got a trap net on 

 Thursday, which I destroyed. Went to Moon Falls and returned by north channel 

 to Buffalo House, after the largest day's work of the season. Left next morning 

 for Copperhead, but could not get over, as the sea was too heavy. Went down inside 

 to Twelve Mile Bay. Blowing a gale, so stayed in boat all night. Made calls 

 next day all the way home through a very heavy sea. On Sunday visited Potato 

 Island, Honey Harbor, McCrae's Dam and Musquash. Spent Tuesday and Wed-

 pling for nets, etc. On Thursday, the 29th September, got a night line set for 

 sturgeon in McCrae's Lake — 100 yards and 30 hooks — which I destroyed. Weather 

 very rough for several days. On Friday, October 7th, made the roughest trip of 

 the season. Saw very few hunters or fishermen. Grappled for nets on Saturday,
