literature. It has, however, been visited somewhat, especially 
at Pringle’s hunting grounds on the North Branch by sportsmen 
who have Written of their experiences there.* Recently the fall 
above the Square Forks on the North Branch has been given 
considerable prominence through the oft-published photograph 
of leaping salmon taken there by Mr. D. G. Smith in 1901, and 
published originally in “Forest and Stream” for February 15, 
1902. The river, especially about the Square Forks and up the 
North Branch, affords excellent salmon fishing, the lessee of 
which has a very comfortable club house at the Square Forks. 
Originally there was some settlement on the lower part of the 
river, near the Northwest, but this has been entirely abandoned, 
so that now the club-house, the lumber camps and the hunting 
camps of Arthur Pringle, of Carl Bersing and of John Wambolt, 
with their portage roads and trails, all shown on the accompany- 
ing map, are the only human works within the basin. 
The Sevogle is noteworthy for the remarkable spread of its 
great branches, which radiate fan-like from a centre at the Square 
Forks to fill the great quadrangular space enclosed between the 
Little Southwest Miramichi, the Lower North Branch, the South 
Branch Nepisiguit, and the Northwest Miramichi. For practical 
purposes, and including the Little Sevogle, the branches may be 
divided for description into several groups, as follows : 
The Little Sevogle. 
This stream I have nowhere seen. But I have been told by 
two lumbermen who know it, that it is a quiet stream, with con- 
siderable deadwater upon it, and elsewhere shallow and smooth- 
flowing, with only one small fall near its mouth. These characters 
* The first was Dashwood, who visited Kewadu Lake (apparently) in 1863, 
coming through from Nepisiguit, and out by the Northwest ; he tells of his trip in 
his charming book “ Chiploquorgan ” (49, 52). Accounts of hunting trips from 
Pringle’s camps have been published by Risteen (“Prowler”^ in Forest and 
Stream, Jan. 19, 1895, 46 ; by E. A. Slack in the same for Mar. 13, 1897, 206, 
(he visited Indian Devil, our Kewadu Lake), by Geo. McAleer in the same for 
Nov., 1905, 667, by W. T. Chestnut in American Field, Nov. 5, 1904. An account 
of a hunting trip to Peabody Lake by G. F. Dominick is in Forest and » Stream 
for Feb. 1, 1902, 82, and a narrative of another to Clearwater Lake, by F. G. 
Harris, is in the same journal for Oct. 20, 1906, 612. An account of the survey 
of McClinton’s North Line, by J. H. Sweet, is in the University Monthly for Nov., 
1898.
