cannuck and Buffalo House. Next day it was blowing very hard^ and no boats were 

 out in the forenoon. Went after boats on the angling grounds in the afternoon, 

 and called at different clubhouses. Wednesday, went to Iron City Club, Rack Hall 

 Club, Sans Soucie, Copperhead, and Cunningliam. Went through over 150

 oil getting short. Friday, to Honey Harbor, Penetang, west shore outside Min- 

 nicog, around by Musquash and McCrae Dam. Saturday, came by Quarry Island, 

 and Morreau Bay, and saw a lot of anglers on the bass sihoals and held them' all up. 

 Home by way of Sturgeon Bay. Got four trollers in Sturgeon Bay on Monday 

 without license. 



The weather was so rough during the following week that no boats could go 

 out. On Monday, August 21st, left Moon Eiver and spent the week looking after 

 tourists. The following Monday, went to Sturgeon Bay and Potato Island, but 

 had to return on account of heavy wind. A great many tourists had either gone 

 away or were going. Spent the rest of the week visiting the different points. 

 Looking after hunters for several days, and on Monday, 11th September, left for 

 the Tomb, got to Thomson's Island when a hurricane came on, tearing the top of 

 the boat. Went home next day to get it repaired. Went to Honey Harbor next 

 day, and from there to McCrae's Dam, Musquash and Whalen's. Out after duck 

 shooters \f or the next few days. 



On Monday, Oct. 2nd, went to Port Severn, portaged the "Florence" over in 

 Gloucester Pool, dragged all the way up the Narrows after nets. Got to Little 

 Chute, and portaged skiff in Six Mile Lake after night. Left camp at break of 

 day on Thursday. Went to Hungry Bay, where it was reported there was illegal 

 fishing going on. Could not find anything nor see any person. Next morning 

 left camp for Crooked Lake and dragged all over. Not a sign of an3''thing. Saw 

 three old shacks that were used in winter. Left for home next day and portaged 

 over at eleven a.m. Met a gale of wind and had to remain at an island until 2 

 a.m., only four miles from home. Not a boat out in the afternoon. Rained all 

 next forenoon, not fit to go out. Heavy wind in afternoon, so cleaned up boat. 

 On Saturday, went to Coldwater, Fesserton, Sturgeon Bay, Duck Bay and Potato 

 Island. Only a few duck hunters around. Left for Moon River on Sunday, and 

 got to Moose Point for the night, grappling a;ll the way. Spent the lollowing two 

 weeks or more among the different places, but nothing doing. On Saturday, Oct. 

 21st, went to Coldwater with horse and rig, then to Matchedasih after poachers 

 who were shooting partridge before the season. Got two of them, and have three 

 more to get, as they are scattered — some in Medonte and some in Matehedash. 

 Left on Monday, for Coldwater and went to Fox Mead, in Medonte, after law 

 breakers. Found it very hard to get neighbors to lodge complaints against one 

 another. Too rough all remainder of the week to go out. 



Logged 4,246 miles.
