FOREST AND STREAM. 
[May 13, 190S. 
: Rossignol, which is about 10 miles wide, and pretty 
well filled with islands. Louis said there were 365 of 
them, but he was probably counting the stones that 
stood out above the surface of the water everywhere. 
As we were still crossing the lake, more than half 
the distance, a strong breeze sprung up astern, and 
helped us along, so that we made exceptionally fast 
time. We kept trolling lines out, about 75yds. astern, 
with spoons, to try our chances of picking up a fish 
or two. Out in the middle of the lake we stopped pad- 
dling for awhile with the boats together and took some 
photographs, admired the scenery, and had a bite of 
chocolate all round. We then pushed on to the exit 
of the lake, which is quite narrow, and under normal 
water, very swift. The water, however, was about 2 to 
3ft. over its usual level, so that it was simply a strong 
eddying current sweeping through the outlet, and no 
noticeable fall. A small circular lake, or inclosed bay, 
formed the exit to Rossignol, and was known to the 
lumbermen as "The Hopper," from its use as a storage 
place for logs in the spring. Here the rafts were col- 
lected and made ready for the run down the river to 
the mills below at Milton and Liverpool. A large 
rock stood directly in the center of the outlet, called 
"The Screecher," and the large boat stopped beside 
this, while H. N. T. tried a few casts over the deep 
water, without success. Chas. O. and Carl, who had 
dropped behind to try some fishing a little further back, 
caught up with us and took photographs of this beauti- 
ful spot. Chas. O.'s boat went through the Screecher, 
but our boat went around by a detour' through another 
exit, where we ran across a proclamation bearing the 
royal coat of arms, and setting forth certain severe 
penalties against parties starting forest fires. The 
point that impressed Louis, as we read this proclama- 
tion to him, was that no excuse would be accepted. 
The penalty, we believe, was five years' imprisonment. 
Just before we passed out of the lake, Louis pointed 
out to us an open district, far off in the distance to the 
west of us, known as "Lord Dunraven's Bog," where 
there were reported to be caribou. 
After casting our lines across the exit of the Hopper 
for some time without success, we gave it up, and 
paddled down easily with the steady current into the 
head of the Second Lake, a little sheet of water proba- 
bly 5 miles wide and free from islands. We were 
puzzled for awhile by two objects some distance out 
in the lake, which seemed to change their size in a most 
remarkable manner, until we discovered they were two 
loons, which would first paddle around with their 
bodies entirely out of water, and as we drew nearer 
they would sink themselves until only their heads re- 
mained above the surface. After a time, these, too, 
disappeared, and we savi^ nothing more of them. 
This part of the country was very familiar to Louis, 
as he had not only learned it thoroughly in the summer 
time, but also had followed the lumbermen in their 
work through the winters and early springs. He had 
many little anecdotes of experiences he had gone 
through, which were all the more interesting from our 
being on the spot as he related them, and seeing the 
actual points of interest themselves. At one time he 
would describe how the lumbermen worked their heavy 
rafts of logs across these lakes by running out a long 
line of some 500 feet by means of a small rowboat, and 
then dropping it overboard with an anchor attached to 
the end, whereupon the men on the raft would wind 
it in with a windlass, thus hauling the raft that distance. 
The rope would then be unwound from the windlass 
and carried out in its full length again, and the opera- 
tion repeated again and again until the raft was worked 
across the lake, a very slow and tedious process. Again 
he would describe how he had seen the Hopper jammed 
full of logs, so that it was possible to walk clear across 
it on the tightly packed mass. The rough-looking 
lumber jacks would be scattered around getting the 
logs into position, and working like beavers to finish 
the work in time for the spring freshet. Again we 
would pass a small island, where Louis had lost a good 
hunting coat the winter before, and we actually stopped 
and looked around a bit, to see whether we could find 
any traces of it, since anything lost in this part of the 
world is likely to stay just where it was put, without 
chance of being found, except by the original owner. 
Louis seemed quite disappointed that the coat was not 
there, although this was probably some six or eight 
months afterward. He blamed our failure to find the 
coat to the excessive high water, caused by the new 
dam some five miles below. 
By the time we had crossed the Second Lake we 
were commencing to feel pretty hungry, and looked 
around anxiously for a suitable camping spot. The 
banks of the lakes and the connecting streams were 
very forbidding, covered with high rocks and tangled 
underbrush, with no comfortable places to stretch out 
and make camp properly. We kept on, hoping to find 
a good site at the foot of First Lake. The breeze was 
blowing quite strongly astern, and we tried experiments 
in sailing by hoisting our coats, sweaters, etc., on the 
paddles, and made quite respectable progress while 
we were filling our pipes and taking things easy for a 
few moments. The party kept getting more and more 
tired and hungry, and there were numerous calls for 
lunch. Finally, we came to the end of First Lake, 
everyone ready to get ashore and take a rest from the 
constant paddling, and we made for a wooded point, 
which Louis had been heading for. Just before we 
reached this, he showed us an open stretch extending 
back some little distance into the woods, and described 
how he had been unfortunate enough to shoot a moose 
just at the close of the season the winter before, and 
was compelled to leave the meat behind, since the date 
the law allows for killing moose would be past by the 
time he got it down to civilization. He very nearly 
lost his life crossing from the point we were approach- 
ing over to the other side of the lake, on account of 
a weak spot in the ice along the shore, which he finally 
managed to negotiate after several narrow escapes. 
When we reached the point we hunted all around, both 
sides, for a dry spot for our camp, but the ground was 
wet and swampy from the high water, and obstructed 
by dense tangles of vines and underbrush. We pushed 
our canoes in a little way, trying to reach high ground, 
but the boats promptly got tangled in the overhanging 
obstacles, and we could see no prospect of camping 
there; we then had to push out into the lake again, and 
headed for a small island that lay possibly a half mile 
away in the direction we were traveling. We crossed 
over to this, but it, too, was almost under water, except 
for a number of rounded boulders that stood out in 
the center of it, and these were surrounded by small 
bushes and trees and the usual tangle of thorny vines, 
so we gave that place up. We were almost consider- 
ing fixing up a cold lunch in the boats, but this did 
not seem very inviting, so we took Louis' suggestion, 
namely, to push on to the Indian Gardens, about three 
or four miles below. Carl and Chas. O. stopped be- 
hind, however, at this island for about a quarter of an 
hour, and got out some chocolate, and a few odds and 
ends, to stave off their hunger, which was pretty ex- 
treme by this time. This gave us a chance to get quite 
a distance ahead of them, so we arrived at the Indian 
Gardens when they were barely more than a speck in 
the distance up the lake. There was quite an extensive 
clearing here, which covered a small plateau above the 
dam, and a grassy slope rising up to it from the shore 
of the lake above the dam. We pulled our boats ashore 
and piled the duffle on a dry spot, along the water's 
edge and then Arthur and the Scribe went out in their 
empty- boat to take a photograph of the place from the 
lake. This was the first stretch of real grass that we 
had met with on the trip, and we threw ourselves full 
length under the huge shade trees, and had a few 
minutes' rest.

Atlantic Division News. 
For the information of those members of the Atlantic 
Division who would take in the cruise and meet at Park 
Island, Trenton, N. ]., May 27-30 inclusive, the follow- 
ing is a preliminary notice, the camp circular will appear 
in about a week: 
The Transportation Committee are: Joseph O. Rickey, 
Chairman; H. T. iMcNiece, Trenton; F. C. Hoyt, 57 
Broadv\ay, : New York; M. Ohlmyer, care of F. H. 
Legget & Co., New York; W. N. Stanley, 66 Broadway,

415 Girard iBldg., Philadelphia. 
Members in these different localities and clubs should 
communicate with the above men to perfect arrange- 
ments for shipments before the 20th if possible. 
Many men will think it impossible to go on the cruise, 
being unable to leave business Monday, but they can 
make the run to Trenton probably before nightfall, or 
better still, leave their boats at Lambertville in charge of 
one of a crew running tandem or ship from there. 
There will be plen.y doing to interest those who come 
over Saturday or Sunday to the island, and Tuesday the 
Regatta Committee, of which M. D. Wilt, 711 North 
Front street, Philadelphia, is chairman, will have a pro- 
gramme of eight races to add interest for those who feel 
strong. Novel prizes will be given to the winners in all 
events, and the chairman would be pleased to receive 
contributions from those interested, to defray the ex- 
penses. 
Monday evening the annual meeting will be held, after 
which a camp fire will be given by the Park Island Club. 
A large attendance is looked for and correspondence 
and notice of intention to be present is solicited.

The Team Match at Union Hill. 
The formal opening of Union Hill Shooting Park, Union Hill, 
N. J., took place May 4, and was a thorough success, in spite 
of the adverse weather conditions. The day opened fine, but 
before noon a heavy wind storm broke, accompanied by clouds of 
dust, there having oeen almost no rain during the month so far. 
The temperature fell rapidly, and the wind continued strong all 
day. The most interesting feature was the team match, in which 
'eleven clubs were represented. The New York Central Schuetzen 
Corps team won, closely followed by the New York City Schuetzen 
Corps team, with the New York Schuetzen Corps men third. 
High man m each team won a medal, R. Hendier, ot the i\ew 
York City Corps having high score. Michael Dorrler was first 
in the buUseye target, while George Schlicht took first prize for 
most points. The scores of all the events follow, the shooting 
being at 200yds., offhand:
