Goiilais Bay through, a heavy fog, and next day went on to Parisian Island. Saw 

 two large hshing yachts there on the west side of the island, which escaped on our 

 approach. We lifted about 300 lbs. of 56 inch new Manilla rope, with two anchors 

 made out of old chain, each one weighing about 200 lbs. There must have been a trap 

 net attached to it, but it had been taken off. We also lifted three markers wliicli 

 were used for setting nets blind. We grappled for nets but did not discover any. 

 ]*arisian Island is the worst place on Lake Superior for poaching, on account of 

 its proximity to the American side. Returned to Goulais Bay same night. Did 

 not go out on Sunday, as it was raining and very foggy. Returned to Parisian 

 Island on Monday, grappled for net on the west side of the island and picked up 

 about 50 lbs. of % inch new Manilla line, which I supposed had been put therd 

 by American fishermen, but for what purpose I do not know. Returned to

 blowing. Went to Haviland, south side of Batchewana Island on Wednesday.
