not get enough guides for the party, neither could a party at Hiawatha from 

 .l?eterboro. Tliey seem to be very scarce on Kice Lake. After leaving Harwood 

 Ave proceeded to Hiawatha and patrolled Kice Lake around Plum Point, Sugar 

 Island, Jubilee Point and the Otonabee Eiver to Peterboro. Cleaned out the boiler 

 ■on Saturday. 



On Monday, June 19th, patrolled the waters from Peterboro to Lakefield, 

 thence to Young's Point, thence to McCracken's Landing and on to Mount Julian. 

 On arrival at Mount Julian sold two guide licenses, and also examined five skiffs, 

 hut found the fish catch all right; also Americans with permits. Tuesday, to 

 ]?}elvedere, thence to Eel's Creek, Jack's Creek, and back to Overseer Moore's cot- 

 tage. Then took skiff and dragged the waters in by Mr. Hubb's cottage, also buck 

 of Mr. Acton's, and around Cox's Island. Eeturned to steamer and patrolled to 

 Burleigh's Falls, thence to Lovesick, where I examined five canoes, but all the 

 Americans had permits. We then proceeded to Buckhorn for the night, but on 

 our arrival there found several bass near the dam that could not get out in the open 

 water, so we got a dip net and lifted them into deep water. Wednesday, patrolled 

 the waters from Buckhorn to Chemong Island, thence to Chemong Park, thence to 

 Herron's Island, thence to Islanda, thence to Oak Orchard, thence to Gannon's 

 Narrows, thence to Bates' Island, and on to Bobcaygeon for coal. On the way sold 

 one guide license, and searched several canoes and skiffs, but everything 

 was all right. Tln^rsday, went from Bobcaygeon to Bob's Island, thence 

 to Grenadier Island and back to Bobcaygeon. Lay there until 2 p.m. on 

 account of rain, and also waiting for mail, then patrolled to Sturgeon Point 

 and on to Fenelon Falls. The reason for patrolling back from Bobcaygeon 

 was that I was told there were some parties from Chemong using nets, and I got 

 Overseer Parker with gasoline launch and went back at 4 a.m. Friday, patrolled 

 from Fenelon Falls to Eosedale, thence to South Bay, thence to Long Point and 

 into North Bay; took skiff and rowed up creek about three miles. Got nothing, 

 but saw signs of netting this spring; came back to steamer and patrolled to the 

 canal, thence to G. T. E. bridge, and into 'Coboconk for the night. Saturday, went 

 to Eosedale. Sent Mate Shappee and Whitney into the old lock and down the 

 Gull Eiver with skiff, thence to Fenelon Falls, thence to Sturgeon Point, thence to 

 Hayes Point, and into Lmdsay. 



Eemained at Lindsay over Monday, June 26th, waiting for engineer to come 

 from Peterboro. Tuesday, patrolled to Fenelon Falls, thence to Eosedale, thence 

 to Kirkfield, and through the canal to Beaverton. Wind bound at Beaverton over 

 Wednesday. Thursday, went to Strawberry Island, thence to Orillia, back to 

 Strawberry Island, and into Beaverton. On the way back blew rubber packing out 

 of condenser. Friday, to Thora Island, thence to Georgina Island, thence to Fox 

 Island, and back to Beaverton. Saturday, to Georgina Island, thence to Fox 

 Island, thence to Eoach's Point and back to Jackson's Point, and into Beaverton. 

 On the way hack blew rubber packing out of condenser. 



The following Monday went to Thora Island, thence to Eight Mile Point, 

 thence to Hawkstone, thence to Barrie and took on coal, and then ran to Big Bay 

 Point for the night. Tuesday, to Jackson's Point, Fox Island, Eight Mile Point, 

 Orillia Narrows, Strawberry Island, and into Beaverton for the night. On arrival 

 received orders to go to Stoney Lake at once. Wednesday, left Beaverton at 7 a.m. 

 and patrolled Kirkfield Canal, Balsam Lake, Gull Eiver and Cameron Lake to 

 Fenelon Falls, and on arrival found the lock broken and had to wait there until 5 

 p.m. Then left and went to Bobcaygeon for the night. Thursday, to Buckhorn. 

 Lovesick, Burleigh Falls, Mount Julian, Belvedere, thence to Glenwood, and
