ne! to Moon Eiver and returned south channel. Ran over to Cunningham and 

 held up several boats. Trout commenced to come on shoals. Left on Wednesday 

 for Giant's Tomb and Split Rock. Found a long string of nets, and was just going 

 to take it up when owner appeared. Gave him a good calling down for not having 

 name on. Next day left for north shore near Quarry Island. Got eight steel 

 traps set for mink, also a patent wooden mink trap. When a mink goes in, he sets 

 the trap for another one. The following day went to Waubaushene to hire boat 

 to go to Hope Island to look after duck hunters. Wind blowing hard. Tried to 

 go to IMidland next day, but the heavy wind and sea broke the rudder, so had quite 

 a time to get home. Attempted both on ]\Ionday and Tuesday to get to Hope 

 Island with the boat hired for the purpose, but wind too strong. Arrived there 

 on Wednesday, 26th October; visited a numl)er of fishermen, and seized a box of 

 nets nearly a mile long belonging to caretaker of lighthouse. Boat went ashore 

 ne.xt day. Visited Giant's Tomb on Friday, also Musquash, McCrae, Honey Har- 

 bor and Quarry Island, and spent Saturday getting ready to go to Moon River on 

 Monday morning. 



The following ten days patrolled around among the several places, sometimes 

 in very rough weather, grappling for nets. etc. On Wednesday, November 9th, 

 worked around all day amongst the islands, and got about 100 yards of pike 

 net, 31/2 extension measure, which I took and dried. Rained all forenoon next 

 day, and snowed all afternoon, and water too thick with snow the next two days to 

 venture out. 



On Monday, 14th November, went to Waubaushene by train. Met hunters 

 going out, with all their deer tagged and having licenses. Visited several places 

 the next few days by train, and on Monday, 21st November, hauled boat out of 

 "vrater, and next day canvased her over for winter, and put canoe away in barn. 



Logged 4,526 miles. 



REPORT OF THE WORK PERFORMED BY THE LAUNCH "MAGGIE 



MAY" ON NORTH SHORE OF GEORGIAN BAY DURING 



THE YEAR 1910. 



On Monday, April 25th, patrolled the waters to the Rapids on Magnetawan 

 River to see if any one was spearing pickerel, and found that some one had been 

 there, as I found two pickerel on the shore that had been speared. On Thursday 

 patrolled to Sand Bay, seized a seine, punt, sailboat and fish on two Indians; I 

 also seized seines on two others, and was assisted by Overseer R. J. McKinny. 

 The next day I went to the magistrate to lay information for illegal fishing. 



Saturday, the 7th of May, the boat was disabled on account of the furnace 

 being out of order. On Thursday, the 12th May, patrolled to the rapids on Mag- 

 netawan River to see if any one was spearing fish, and for several days following 

 I kept a close watch for any illegal work. 



On Tuesday, May 17th, I patrolled to Naishcotyang River to look for trap 

 nets and to see what some parties were doing. The following day I returned to 

 see what some law-breakers were committing. The next day I patrolled up the 

 river in search of trap nets and found one trap net on an island in Burritt's Bay, 

 south of Byng Inlet Light. I brought the trap net home with me in order to 

 have it identified.
