GAFF-HOOKs. 
In addition to the foregoing list, do not omit a couple of 
changes of heavy woolen clothing. At the far north, where 
it is light enough to read twenty hours of the day, the other 
hours are cold enough for several blankets and overcoats. 
For the employment of guides, cook, gaffers, and the pur- 
chase of canoes, it is best to employ an agent in Quebec or 
Gaspe. Mr. Willis Russell, of the St. Louis Hotel, Quebec, al- 
ways takes great pleasure in advancing the interests of an- 
glers from the States, and, on application, will name or ap- 
point suitable persons and direct them. 
Of supplies for subsisting the party, either Quebec or Gaspe 
are equally advantageous for the south side of the Gulf, but 
for the north side I should prefer to supply at Quebec. 
Smokers will find segars and kinnikinnik, with brier-wood 
pipes, or a meerschaum, something of a protection against 
flies) Parties that prefer may charter a schooner at Quebec 
or Gaspe for five dollars a day, including a navigator and 
two sailors, who subsist themselves for that sum, the whole 
expense being only five dollars a day for having a vessel 
manned at the party’s command. 
Thus, having studied the subject and made our prepara- 
tions, we propose starting for Canada or Labrador on a sal- 
mon-fishing excursion, and pray the reader to accompany us 
in spirit while we recall our recollections of one of our trips 
to Canada.
