FOREST AND STREAM. 
Louis' paddles, and the others started off, heavily laden 
with the duffle, and leaving the canoes for the second 
trip. Shortly after they left, Louis arrived, and he and 
the Scribe carried the rest of the duffle down the short 
cut through the woods. Coming back for the boats we 
found the others not yet returned so we scribbled in- 
structions on a paddle with a bit of charcoal, telling them 
to follow us and started with the boats. Before we were 
fairly off, however, the rest of the bunch turned up and 
all hands lugged the two boats across an open stretch of 
country broken up by patches of bushes, briers, small 
clumps of trees and irregular hummocks of earth — very 
hard going. The worst part of the carry was the last bit 
through the woods and down a very steep, long slope 
rather simple problem, and we three figured on pas-sing a 
very comfortable night under the circumstances. We kept 
going ahead, however, expecting at every point to see 
the lake open out ahead of us, but were disappointed again 
and again. The stream became quite slow and narrow, 
on either side were low, flat, grassy banks, covered by 
a growth of small trees with here and there some huge 
d-^-d giants of the forest, stark and white, towering 
above. 
1 ne sky was overcast and darkness was rapidly coming 
on, so we kept a lookout for a possible camping place, 
well tired out by the continuous hard work all day but 
unwilling to give up until absolutely necessary. The mate 
doled out a small portion of the precious chocolate all

into the ravine a half-mile below the falls. Slippery 
roots, low branches, fallen logs, boulders, etc., all con- 
spired to make the portage rather exhausting work, but 
we cut off a good two-thirds of the usual carry. 
Launching the empty boats from the steep bank we 
ran down stream in the swift current picking up the 
duffle first where the Scribe and Louis had left their 
loads, and . then some distance further down, where the 
others had left theirs. 
We had left Louis' birch bark canoe in the brush be- 
side the stage road at Maitland to be picked up by the 
stage and taken back to the starting point, and Charles 
O. took him as bowman in the smaller canoe, Carl coming 
into the other boat with Arthur and H. N. T. The smaller 
boat got off first after the carry and disappeared in the 
around and we kept pegging ahead, shifting our paddles 
often from one side to the other to ease our weary 
muscles. The course of the stream was very winding, 
and the country seemed open and flat, which encouraged 
us to think that we were near the vicinity of the lake. 
Finally, after we had about given up hope of overtaking 
the other canoe, we ran around a long semi-circular 
sweep of the stream which was bounded on one side by 
a high ridge, with what appeared to be a rail fence along 
the top, and at the end of this stretch we found Lake 
Kejamkoogic. The ridge ran out into a wooded point, 
which cut off the view of the lake until we were close to 
it, and as we rounded this point a long vista of the lake 
and islands opened up before us in the twilight. -Across

distance. The other boat had difficulty in the rough, 
rocky runs, particularly after we had left the embarking 
place, where we found many steep ledges, deep pools and 
swift water, and we were very much delayed getting the 
heavily loaded boat through. However, with three men 
paddling we hoped to catch the others before they had 
reached our objective point for the night, namely, the 
head of Fairy Lake, also known as Kejamkoogic. With 
this idea we paddled steadily at top speed all the late 
afternoon without seeing any trace of the rest of the 
party ahead. Finally, along toward sunset we com- 
menced to think we had lost them, although that hardly 
seemed possible since there had been no branch streams 
where they might have turned off from the main river, 
and we contemplated seriously spending the night by our- 
selves with what facilities we had. Upon taking an in- 
ventory we found that this consisted of two sleeping bags 
and the greater part of the provisions but no tent nor 
cooking tools. This presented a very interesting but 
wooded shore and we spied the smoke of ■ a camp fire 
rising among the trees about three-quarters of a mile 
away, with a boat pulled up on the beach. We started 
for this camp with some misgivings as to whether it was 
our party or not, but we had not proceeded very far be- 
fore we discovered a second smoke nearby in a corner 
of the lake above a sandy beach where there seemed to 
be a small clearing. We headed over to this, and as we 
drew near, recognized Louis and Charles O. busying 
themselves in preparing camp. The evening was' quite 
cool and the lake rather rough, but we put on an extra 
spurt at the sight of "home," and at last dragged our " 
boat ashore with a great sense of thanksgiving at having 
successfully reached the end of the day's journey. The 
camp site, which Louis had been heading for all day, was 
an old Indian clearing, shelving up from the beach ; oppo- 
site the camp, far along, stretches of the lake opened out 
toward us with very densely wooded islands scattered 
everywhere through it. The trees were quite large on 
these islands and grew right down to the water's edge, 
giving a very steep effect to the shore line and a rather 
, forbidding aspect to campers. We pitched a very cozy 
camp, gaihered the usual quantity of spruce bows tor the 
floor of the tent, and quickly had a substantial supper 
prepared.^ 
After dark the party busied themselves around the 
camp cleaning things up after the meal, and by 9:30 
everyone was very willing to turn in for the night. Louis 
had started the fire almost too close to the tent so that 
it was uncomfortably warm inside from the intense radia- 
tion, but this did not bother us very much and we quickly 
fell asleep watching the flickering light of the flames on 
the canvas around us.

At San Francisco. 
From April 1 to 15 was a busy time at the indoor shooting 
tournament, rifle and pistol, held at the Mechanics' Pavilion, under 
the auspices of the Pacific Coast Forest, Fish and Game Associa- 
tion. Some of the most brilliant indoor shooting ever recorded 
on this coast was witnessed. George Tammeyer, of San Francisco, 
captured first honors for rifle shooting, 2,500 out of the possible 
2,500. D. W. King, Jr., of Denver, Colo., was close to Tam- 
meyer with a score of 1,900. 
With the pistol, J. E. Gorman was first with 479 out of the pos- 
sible 500, while G. M. Barley, second, scored 477. Both are resi- 
dents of San Francisco. The following shooters made 100 Out of 
the possible 100: Rifle: George Tammeyer, D. W. King, Jr., 
M. Blasse, W. F. Blasse, A. H. Pape, O. A. Bremer, A. Studer, 
H. A. Klinkner, E. Hammond, Chris. Meyer and W G. Hoff- 
man. 
The only 50 out of the possible 50 with the pistol was made 
by G. M. Barley. The reduced 25-ring target was used for the 
rifle shooting, and the reduced American target was used for the 
pistol.
