and bass fishing are: 
The Kawartha Lakes and Trent River. 
Point au Baril and the Georgian Bay district. 
French River and Lake Nipissing. 
Lake Penache and Lake of the Woods district

A Country of Fish and Game 
' A Paradise for the Camper and Angler 
Ideal Canoe Trips 
The country traversed by the Reid Newfoundland Company’s system is exceedingly rich in all 
kinds of Fish and Came. All along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their Salmon 
and Trout fishing, also Caribou barrens. Americans who have been fishing and hunting in New- 
foundland say there is no other country in the world in which so good fishing and hunting can 
be secured and with such ease as in Newfoundland. Information, together with illustrated 
Booklet and Folder, cheerfully forwarded upon application to

Dent. 107 Racine Ave. A ISth 6U, Chicago 
ney and a collapsed brick oven. But 
there were evidences of a good state of 
cultivation at one time in the groves of 
wild oranges, limes, guavas, and groups 
of Cherokee roses, oleander hedges and 
date palms. 
Opposite was an inlet from the sea, 
through which we saw the white crests 
of the breakers as they sparkled in the 
bright sunshine. There were several set- 
tlers, at this place and at Ft Pierce, just 
below. The next day we sailed over to 
the inlet, giving the boys their first sight 
of the Atlantic. They wandered along 
the beach, picking up sea shells, sea 
beans and other curios. We came to a 
group of some ten or twelve blackfish 
which had been stranded in a recent 
storm. They were some twenty feet long, 
as they belong to the whale family. Some 
buzzards were already feasting on them. 
We killed an immense rattlesnake, some 
nine feet long, which had a curious pro- 
tuberance of the body, which proved to 
be a rabbit which had been recently 
swallowed. 
We saw some very large tarpon roll- 
ing and playing just inside of the inlet, 
some of which seemed to be eight feet in 
length. It was here that Mr. Samuel 
H. Jones, of Philadelphia, while trolling 
with a spoon, in the Fort Pierce channel 
of Indian river inlet, hooked and landed 
a tarpon of one hundred and seventy 
pounds with striped bass tackle. This 
was in the winter of 1880-1; it was the 
first tarpon of more than a hundred 
pounds killed on the rod. 
A T Fort Capron we saw Little Tiger, 
chief of the Seminoles, and Tommy 
Doctor, who had come from the 
Everglades by way of Ten Mile creek to 
sell buckskin, egret plumes and komptie 
starch. They were both fine-looking In- 
dians, as Indians go. Their dress, what 
there was of it, consisted of a blue and 
white plaid shirt with belt, a breechcloth, 
bare legs and feet. On their heads they 
wore the characteristic turban, common 
and peculiar to the Seminole tribe. It 
was fashioned in the form of an ordinary 
factory cheese, with a hole for the head. 
It was adorned with tightly wrapped 
bandana handkerchiefs of gay colors, 
with sundry silver ornaments. This 
turban was always worn by the bucks 
except when hunting when they doffed 
the turban and donned leggins and moc- 
casins I think their straight and tall 
figures are due to the constant wearing 
of the novel headgear. 
In the rock pools at the Inlet I pro- 
cured some specimens of rare marine 
fishes. One, in particular, I will men- 
tion, the Mexican Stargazer ( Astrosco - 
pus y-graecum ) , whose electric powers I 
was the first to record. Its eyes are on 
top of its head, when they will do the 
most good, and hence its common name. 
It frequents the Gulf Stream, and swim- 
ming beneath its prey among the sea- 
weeds can readily locate the most vul- 
nerable spot, against which it discharges 
its batteries. These are just back of the 
eyes, two roundish, cushion-like protu- 
berances about the size of peas. By 
placing the finger tips on these organs a 
distinct electric shock is felt. All of our 
party and some of the settlers exper : -
