 days, but was never found to my knowledge,

 mine and very kindly brought them to me. 



I could fill a book with the recitals of the 

 very pleasant as well as perilous adventures I 

 had in the many years Port Joli was made my 

 gunning resort ; but these must suffice, with 

 the addition, further on, of the story of hunt- 

 ing moose on snow-shoes in March in its back- 

 woods. Just here I might be permitted to 

 say that all the neighbouring lakes and brooks

 memory, I would recommend any one wanting 

 a fortnight's outing, combining fishing and 

 shooting, to go to Port Joli. Make Simon
