1913 GAME AND FISHERIES. 101 



river again next day. Heard dogs running and saw where a little fawn had been 

 killed. Shot two dogs that were after a deer, which was nearly played out. The 

 next week went to Judge Rodger's Island and sold four tourists licenses. On 

 Thursday, July 25th, heard of a party of tourists fishing without a license, and 

 started out after them, but when within a mile of them they got in their launch 

 and started off. I followed them to Hang Dog Point, a distance of 40 miles, but 

 before overtaking them they all had licenses, but their guides were not licensed. 

 Went to Black Point on 'Saturday to investigate one of Mr. €. H. Gauthier' 

 pound nets. Found it was properly set, and not interfering with any one. On 

 Tuesday, went to French River and remained all night to look after some tourists 

 who had just arrived. Found they all had licenses. Next day went to Naish- 

 ootyang River looking for tourists without licenses. Patrolled all day 

 round the islands, but could not find them. Found them next day in 

 Barrot's Bay, and they all had licenses except two, who then got them. 

 Laid information against a party on Monday for conveying and assist- 

 ing non-residents to and from their camping grounds 'and islands, and 

 for taking them out to fish with his launch without a license. Case adjourned; 

 until the Department heard from. On Friday was informed that a non-resident 

 was fishing and selling his fish to the boarding house. The following Wednesday 

 went to town and laid information against a party for acting as a guide without 

 first taking out a license. He pleaded guilty on Saturday and was fined $5 and 

 costs. The following week, patrolled Sand Bay and Key Harbor, and on Saturday 

 laid information against another party for fishing without a license. Attended 

 court next day and had case adjourned until the 28th. Adjourned again for a 

 week. 



Left for French River on Saturday the 14th Sept., calling at Key Harbor 

 on the way, then on to the Bustards, where Overseer R. J. McKinney reported 

 some one having killed a deer. Returned on Monday to investigate, and received 

 enough evidence to lay two informations against two parties at French River. 



Went to French River again on Friday, and got evidence sufficient to make a 

 conviction. Had to stay at the Bustards over night on account of storm, and 

 could not leave till Sunday. Left for French River and Bustard Islands again 

 the following Thursday in company with the Police Magistrate. Very Stormy 

 and took all day to reach there, and had to stay till Saturday before leaving 

 for the Bustards. Served the guilty party in the deer case with a subpoena. He 

 was fined $20 and costs. Had to run inside the islands on our way back to Byng 

 Inlet, owing to the big seas that were running. Spent the following week patrolling 

 around looking after tourists. 



On Sunday, 20th October, went to Naishcotyang River, having been informed 

 of a party coming there to shoot ducks. Stayed there all day, but heard no shooting. 

 On Tuesday started for Bustard Islands and Bad River. Got as far as Key Harbor, 

 but had to return on account of storm. Got back as far as Sand Bay, and had 

 to stay on an island all night, as the storm was so severe. 



The next Sunday went up Still River in search of some illegal trappers, but 

 did not see any. The remainder of the week patrolled around among the bays 

 looking after illegal fishermen or trappers, and selling licenses to hunt deer.
