GASOLINE AND GAME! 
MOTOR-BOATS AND AUTOS HAVE OVERCOME THE 
HARDSHIPS OF GETTING INTO A GAME-COUNTRY 
By PHIL H. MOORE 
NCLEMENT weather 
is a less restraining 
factor in the killing 
of game and fish than 
it was ten years ago. 
Especially is this a 
fact in the great lake 
and stream country 
of the Rossignol wa- 
tershed in Nova Sco- 
tia. \’ast lakes have 
to he erossed, both 
going a n d coming 
from the hunting and fishing grounds. 
Head winds and rough water hold up, 
for days at a time, many an ardent 
and impatient Nimrod. Meanwhile the 
denizens of forest and stream have 
sanetuary in tire storm-torn woods and 
1 ivers. A heavily-laden canoe and a 
wild, frothing lake are an uncertain 
comhination for either guide or sports- 
man to tackle. As eircinnstances are sel- 
dom pressing enough to demand the risk 
of life, or even an e.xhausting paddle, 
when on a pure pleasure cruise, the wise 
hunter will not urge his guide to take 
chances for the mere gratificatiov, of 
seeing him work. Knowing this, the 
guides in the old days, before the advent 
of <he gasoline hunting launch, some- 
times were lazy enough, to exaggerate the 
pending diftic'uities, and were prone, I 
fear, to overdo the “safety first” maxim, 
and dally by the way, to the aggrandize- 
ment of their pockets. 
Now an automobile road runs right to 
the lakes. This permits sportsmen to 
get into the wilderness in one-ciuarter of 
the time it used to take by horse and 
wagon transportation. The sturdy ino- 
torlioats take anywhere from one tc a 
dozen canoes in tow, and almost regard- 
less of head winds or weather switch 
the hunters and their guides to any part 
the time required hy the old methods, i’ 
In the high water of spring and fall, | 
the motorlioats even dare the swift riv- „ 
ers emptying into t..e lakes, and will I 
tow canoes upstream fo. miles against 1 
the heavy currents. ! 
A S an example of what a motor- f 
boat ean do in this upstream work, I 
the writer navigated a sixteen foot, lap | 
streak boat, et|ui])ped with a three h.]i. , 
gas engine, from Low'es Landing on 1 
Lake Rossignol up the Kejimkujik Kiwr I 
to Eairy Lake, or Kejimkujik Lake, ami 
had to negotiate seven miles of swift | 
water en route. This stream is a sue- 
cession of roeky rapids and "slick” runs, f 
It was in April and the water covered 
most of the rocks. Joe Patterson was 
the official guide and pdot, while I at- 
tempted tc keep the sturdy little motor 
pullin.g at top speed. Joe knew the 
channels and steered us clear of most 
of the rocks and sunken logs. Some 
of the "falls” were so swift that the 
boat would lose headway with the en- 
gine turning nine hundred r.p.m. A 
shove with a pike pole would just give 
the necessary added impetus: slowly but 
surely the little craft would forge ahead 
and out of the dangerous water. By 
the artful use of pole and eddies, we i 
picked our way along to the easier 
waters of Fairy Lake. We were tow- 
ing two canoes and had a load of camp 
dunnage besides. At the “Eel Weir 
Dump” we had to make several tries 
before we eould heat the c\ild rush of 
water. Luckily a "run-around” brook 
permitted us to circumnavigate Loon ; 
T.ake Falls. Tt took us about two hours 
to go the seven miles to the Lake and j 
another hour to ehu.g" across to Tom | 
Canning’s camp. There had been a cold 
Winter or Summer — 
there’s most comfort
