134 THE EEPOET UPON No. 13 



of aiiytliiiig with regard to illegal fishing or hunting. On Sunday, the 17th, 

 started for Key Harbour, found body of a drowned man on Lamonday Point; 

 returned to Byng Inlet and reported. On Friday, September 22nd, went to town, 

 and sent all unsold tourist licenses back to the Department. On Saturday, Sept- 

 ember 23rd, went to Geroux Lake, through the bush from^ Byng Inlet. Heard 

 tome shots fired, but could not locate the parties. Eeturned to town at 6.30 p.m., 

 and was informed that there was a gang of Italians at Byng Inlet Station who 

 were hunting on Sundays. On Sunday went out to the C.P.R. Station to see if I 

 could locate some of the Sunday hunters. Heard a number of shots fired, but 

 could not locate any hunters. On Monday, went to town and sent a letter to 

 Supei'intendent for instructions re Sunday hunting by Italians who are employed 

 by the C.P.E. Company, near Byng Inlet Station. On Saturday, September 30th, 

 went to town to the C.P.R. coal docks. It was reported that there was an Indian 

 there, who had been offering a pair of moose horns for sale for $15.00. I did not 

 raise any suspicion, but I received no information on the matter since. Went to 

 the Post Office, and received instructions from the Superintendent of Game and 

 Fisheries re Italians hunting on Sundays. On Sunday, October 1st, went to town 

 at noon, and got Mr. C. H. Knight to assist me in rounding up the gang of 

 Italians who were engaged in Sunday hunting. We proceeded up the river to the 

 siding and lay for them until they came out of the bush; we arrested four of them, 

 confiscated their guns, and brought themi to Byng Inlet lock-up. On Monday, 2nd, 

 went to town to attend court re the four Italians that Mr. Knight and myself 

 arrested for hunting on Sunday. They were all heavily fined, and their guns 

 confiscated. Tuesday, went to town and sent money and reports to the Depart- 

 ment; also went to the C.P.R. coal docks to see if I could get the man who was 

 offering moose horns for sale, but got no information, no one seems to know any- 

 thing about the matter. Wednesday, went to town and shipped four guns to Mr. 

 Tinsley, Superintendent of Game and Fisheries. Thursday, went to Bad River 

 to instruct Mr. Gauthier re his pound i^ets during the month of October, and for 

 fishing, herring pound nets — for herring only. Got hack to Bustard Islands on 

 account of storm, and had to remain there all night. On Friday, 6th, went to 

 French River, and remained there all day and night, owing to storm. On Saturday, 

 October 7th, left French River at noon, and reached Byng Inlet at 5.20. On 

 Sunday, 8th, went to Still River Siding, where Mr. C. H. Knight and myself 

 arrested the four men for hunting on Sunday. Heard no shooting, and saw no 

 signs of illegal fiishing. On Friday, 13th, went to the Duquesne House, to see what 

 the tourists were doing. Found everything all right, and saw no signs of illegal 

 fishing or hunting. On Sunday, October 15th, went to Still River, as far as the 

 Still River Siding, and around through the bush back home. Did not hear any 

 shooting, nor did I see any signs of illegal work. On Wedne?(lav. ISth, went to 

 Black Creek and Sand Bay, to see if any nets were in these localities, but did not 

 see any signs of illegal fishing. On Friday, October 27th, Mr. C. H. Knight and 

 myself went in search of dogs that were running at large in the vicinity of Geroux 

 Creek. We went to Geroux Creek and Barrott's Bay. We shot two dogs in 

 Barrott's Bay; these dogs were running at large all summer in the bush, and it 

 was hard to locate them. Did not know who owned them. On Saturday, October 

 28th, went up town to Byng Inleit, and sold licenses to hunt deer in the regular 

 season. Got a telegram from Superintendent E. Tinsley, re extending ten days 

 open season in November for the taking of whitefish and salmon trout, being from 

 the first to the tenth. Forwarded the message to Mr. R. J. McKenny to advise 

 the fishermen at Bad River.
