SUPERIOR 



OW many vacation tourists have feasted their won-

 as its shores and adjacent waters are, most persons

 Who has not heard, at least, of the " Pictured Eocks " and 

 shifting sands of its Michigan shore ; of the beetling cliffs, 

 rifted and seamed and honeycombed with caves which 

 the waves have worn, that girt its northern coast from Gros 

 Cap to St. Louis Eiver; of the boulders and debris of shat- 

 tered rocks piled up and strewn all along their bases ; of the 

 terrific gales and sudden gusts that vex and harrow its 

 surface even in its most placid summer moods ? Here half- 

 civilized Indians swarm in crowds, making its fastnesses their 

 home. In its cold deep waters the great namaycush or 

 Mackinaw salmon loves to dwell ; and in all bays where the 

 bottom is rocky and the water no more than one hundred 

 feet deep, he can be caught readily with the hook. All the 

 rivers on the north shore, from Point aux Pines to Pigeon 

 Eiver, teem with trout to that degree that their numbers 

 become a nuisance to the angler. The whole coast is but 

 one grand trout preserve ! And there are fish of grosser and 

 plebeian stock — the maskinonge, pike, and sturgeon, and 

 others of less degree. A bold biter is that namaycush
