 Sans SoLicie and leaving for Whistle Wing Bay, grappling for trap nets; thence to

 grappling for nets. The following day left for Moon River. Entrance to river 

 blocked witli logs, so impossible to get up. Left for Iron City Club House, but 

 only ran one mile, as propeller wheel loose, and had to be towed to Sweet's Dock 

 for repairs. Next day left again for Iron City Club House. Informed that four 

 men were camping in Mud Bay, fo took yawl and rowed along shore to Mud Bay; 

 saw two men in punt and followed them into bay. One man who had been con- 

 victed last year claimed he was employed looking after log's. Found box with 

 suckers in water and also some in punt, but had no evidence to arrest, so left and 

 rowed in to straits, then portaged over to bay to shadow the men, but did not find

 fishing station; thence to Ojibway, where I was informed that, owing to certain 

 licenses having been cancelled last year for illegal fisliing, it is impossible for
