A NOVA SCOTIAN TROUT LAKE 35 



granite-margined lakelet, with its charming beaches of clean white 

 sand; its big grey boulders carved often into the most fantastic 

 shapes, hurled everywhere at random as if by playful giants ; its 

 miniature islands one a bare granite rock, crowned with a single 

 dwarf pine which has gained precarious foothold in a crevice ; its 

 tiny sheltered harbours with deep black water and winding coves 

 receiving tinkling brooklets, where at the edge of bordering beds 

 of lily pads, as the water gradually deepens, the big ones are apt 

 to leap out suddenly at a well-flung fly.
