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 Game. 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

Shortly after leaving Big*Bull Rapids, 
one of those incidents occurred which 
makes wilderness canoeing different from 
every other form of recreation. Sweep- 
ing around a sharp bend, at the foot of 
an eight foot bank, we beheld a deer, 
his horns in the velvet, feeding on the 
lily leaves which grew in abundance 
along the marge of the river. He was 
standing back to us and so was unaware 
of our approach. Fascinated, we 
watched him. He would plunge his head 
deep into the water and pull it out, a 
bunch of the lily leaves and stems, drip- 
ping with water, hanging from his mouth. 
After throwing his head to the right and 
left, on the alert for enemies, he would 
munch his mouthful greedily, for all the 
world like an overgrown domestic sheep. 
We were within fifteen feet of the animal 
when George thought of the camera, but 
the click of its latch was enough to send 
the animal scrambling up the bank and 
away. He was not frightened. I doubt 
if he saw us. Yet the metallic sound was 
unusual and he did not even wait to dis- 
cover its source. There was not a sound 
as he disappeared in the thick hazel 
brush; simply, he was and then was not. 
S OME three hours from Trego, as we 
were traveling with the current, we 
discovered a little stream entering at 
the left, and being thirsty we sampled 
its water, finding it cold and refreshing. 
We both thought of the same thing, 
trout. Pulling the canoe up upon the 
shore, we assembled our rods, dug a few 
angle worms and set out through the 
brush. The creek was small and covered 
with thick alders, a hard combination to 
negotiate, but every lover of little creeks 
knows that it is a combination that 
spells fish. We were back in an hour 
with thirteen trout, my largest weighing 
half a pound. Although but eleven 
o’clock we built a fire and cooked our din- 
ner. There is a splendid camp-site at the 
mouth of the stream on a level shelf, 
shaded with oak, some thirty feet above 
the water. The canoeist will recognize 
the place because there is a high bluff be- 
yond the creek capped with two magnifi- 
cent hemlock trees dwarfing anything in 
the immediate locality. 
The day had turned exceedingly hot 
and sultry, so we lingered in the shade 
after loading the canoe, loath to embark ; 
but admonished by the massing thunder- 
heads that unless we wished to paddle in 
the rain we had best seek a camp-site, 
we pushed off. We might have camped 
where we were, an ideal spot, but we 
wished to push a few more miles behind 
us before camping. 
High sand bluffs, or “cut banks,” al- 
ternated with lowlands, the former offer- 
ing fine nesting places for numerous mud 
turtles, and we were continually disturb- 
ing them in their ovulation. The ungain- 
ly batrachians must indeed be sharp eyed, 
for, though they were at the very top of 
a hundred and fifty foot bank, at our ap- 
pearance upon the river they would let 
go all, and slide, roll and tumble incon- 
tinently into the water. The thing was 
ludicrous in the extreme.' 7 '* Though we 
tried again and again we were never able 
to beat the animal to the water. Once 
we discovered where a bear had visited a

written word to call them again. They know that the 
peeled log cabins are warm, neat, cosy and comfortable; 
that the grub is everything that farm, forest and market 
can make it. They have slept in the spring beds and 
sat before the stone fireplace. In company with the 
Varney brothers they have hunted and fished the silent 
places and spent nights in the outlaying lean-tos. They 
know that for good hunting, plenty of fish and game, 
good cooking, wholesome food and a good time, SURE-
