94 CARIBOU SHOOTING IN NEWFOUNDLAND. 



RICHARD LEBUFFE, 

 HALL'S BAY, P. O. WOLF COVE, NOTRE DAME BAY, 



N. F. 



No time was lost in addressing a letter containing 

 many questions, and engaging his services for the 

 opening of the season of 1894. After weary weeks of 

 waiting, a letter came bearing the picture of a seal on 

 the stamp, post-marked, "Hall's Bay, Newfound- 

 land." It was short but sweet, and while it did not 

 contain all the information asked, he accepted service 

 on the following terms: Self and canoes, $3.00 per 

 day; four carriers at $1.50 per day each and found; 

 instructions to land at Pilley's Island ; charter steam 

 launch to head of Hall's Bay, where guide lives (25 

 miles) ; march three miles to foot of West Pond ; 

 from foot of pond to head of same, five miles in 

 canoes ; march thirteen miles more or less to log tilt 

 on Big Marsh in the White Hills country in all 

 forty-six miles or more from Pilley's Island to main 

 camp. 



Further correspondence elicited the fact that the 

 tilt was constructed of logs chinked with moss, slop- 

 ing roof of birch bark and a smoke hole, and no way 

 of getting a stove nearer than the head of Hall's Bay, 

 except by carrying it on the backs of men.
