flakes. My guides were to be my canoe- 
men. The Gaspe river man is indeed 
a master of his craft, as gifted afloat as 
he is alicld, and needs must be. From the 
Falls to Flarrison’s, a distance of forty 
miles, the river is almost one continuous 
succession of seething, tumbling rapids, 
dropping into deep, swirling pools offer- 
ing almost every inconceivable difficulty 
to safe navigation. 
Here the canoe, laden with its seven 
hundred pounds of freight, would skirt 
at lightning speed, a great half-sub- 
merged boulder, a scant three inches off 
side; here w'e would ride high on the 
crest of a centre chute wave, with the 
water piling gunw’ale high, in great roll- 
ing billow’s on either side ; here at a sharp 
letter S rapid hard, fast work with pole 
and paddle held our craft on the bare 
edge of the spray of a great overthrow 
wave w’here the river climbed high on 
the sheer rock wall of the abutting shore. 
Over sixty great salmon, estimated at 
an average weight of over thirty pounds, 
were counted in the quieter waters of the 
deep pools, resting immobile on the grey, 
gravelly bottom. 
Two long arduous day’s travel it had 
taken us for the up trip along the port- 
age route ; in five hours after getting un- 
der way at the Falls Camp, we were 
floating into the quiet waters of the long 
pool at Harrison’s listening to the tinkle 
of distant cow bells as the farmer lads 
drove their charges home for the eve- 
ning milking. 
Of such days in the quiet hours of our 
present home life we dream — and plan 
anew for the future. 
OCEAN RESEARCH 
F or a number of years there has been 
extensive scientific investigation into 
life histories of various marine fishes of 
northern Europe, the same or related spe- 
cies to our own, carried on more especial- 
ly in those nations with important fish- 
eries in the North Sea. The voluminous 
results of such studies, published in sev- 
eral languages, are difficult enough for 
scientific workers to know comprehen- 
sively, and quite beyond the reach of the 
general reader. 
Recently, how’ever, the Oxford Uni- 
versity Press has published a single at- 
tractive volume of some 200 odd pages, 
entitled Ocean Research and the Great 
Fisheries, by G. C. L. Howell, which 
combines a consideration of fisheries data 
and problems, with various of the more 
interesting aspects and findings of recent 
research along these lines. It is illus- 
trated with tw’enty plates and three maps. 
Here one gets an exceedingly interest- 
ing view of the marvelous balance of life 
in the ocean, and of how, for instance, 
fluctuations from year to year of the 
number of codfish (so far as available 
data goes, little affected by the enormous 
number caught annually by man) may 
be dependent on the fluctuating position 
of the edge of the arctic ice floes; and 
how’, on the other hand, certain of man’s 
activities may be unexpectedly destruc- 
tive. It is a book that will appeal strongly 
to any intelligent salt water angler in- 
terested in natural history or in conser- 
vation.
