One forg;etfnl move, and we were over — 
in the night, with the gale and white 
water roaring. 
Old Timer was caught under the 
thw'arts of the overturned canoe and a 
desperate struggle ensued in the wilds ; 
a gasping, bitter struggle — just for bare 
life — and God be thanked, one rare toe- 
hold that helped ns claw out of that 
roaring maelstrom of rapids. All the 
tackle was gone; all the fish gone, al- 
most all the films of the summer gone ; 
camera gone — everything — save the bare 
canoe and the last gasp of life. 
We had met both the Tiger and the 
Hoodoo. 
GASOLINE AND GAME 
(Continued from page 129) 
gcr of hitting obstructions. But sea- 
worthy, beamy boats under twenty-five 
feet in length and sturdily engined for 
towing, are used with great convenience 
and such an appreciable saving in time 
that it is possible to hunt twice or thrice 
as much country conterminous to naviga- 
ble waters in a day as it was when us- 
ing canoes. 
Last spring it was an almost daily oc- 
currence to see our motorboat start out 
from its home camp right after break- 
fast with four fishing parties in tow, 
leave them at the months of four differ- 
ent streams, several miles apart, and he 
hack at the landing within two hours. 
At night the same boat would run out 
again and pick up the different outfits 
successively. The guides, being released 
from several miles of lake paddling, 
would feel equal to the task of poling 
their charges far upstream during the 
day’s work with consequent better 
catches of fish. yHl hands would he safe 
and snug in the main camp by supper 
time, — each one, shortly after, telling his 
yarn by the big fireplace. Stormy 
weather did not hinder their going to the 
fishing nor getting home. No tenting 
was necessary. The guides had no camps 
to fix up, and every one was happy. 
All hut the poor trout I Many more died 
each day than would have been possible 
had the sportsmen been paddled to the 
more distant streams. 
In moose and deer hunting the motor- 
boat is even more efficient. I remember 
one day late in October, three of ns went 
down into the Northeast Bay country, 
three miles from camp. After an hour’s 
tramp we saw no fresh spoor, so ran the 
boat si.x miles across the lake to the west- 
ern shore. Here after a couple of hours 
at still-hunting, we shot a small bull, had 
lunch and tumbling the quarters of meat 
and the head into the boat we visited 
Trout Brook Meadow, three miles 
farther. No moose signs here (though 
we did shoot some ducks), so we pulled 
out for Shelburne River, — two miles. A 
trip through a nearby swamp netted one 
wildcat. Returning to the boat we 
had covered twenty miles by water and 
had inspected or hunted four distinct 
sections of the country between daylight 
and dark. Any one of the places would 
I have been a day’s job if we had had 
to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. It wUt 
canoes only for water transportation. In 
case of the Shelburne River trip, we 
could not have made it at all and re- 
turned the same night, as a strong east- 
erly blow came up in the afternoon, and 
even our sturdy dory had a hard buck 
against the sea, going home. One more 
wildcat would still be killing partridges 
and one more little bull moose wovdd 
have had a chance to grow big hoi ns, 
had it not been for the motorboat. .| 
A NOTHER phase of using gasoline 
and cylinder oil upon waters con- | 
taining game fish may, or may not, have ^ 
importance, but it certainly gives one J 
food for thought when one sees a film I 
of vari-colored oil spread out like a I 
smothering blanket over the surface of | 
a pond, to find its way into every diminu- 
tive cove wTich presumably harbors all 
the small fry of the fish family. This 
does kill small fish near the wharf where 
considerable quantities of oil are blown , 
out of the exhaust when tuning up the 
engine, hut whether or not it has a far- 
reaching effect I am not prepared to say.
