August, 1920 
to the Caves of Bellemar, the most beau- 
tiful in the world. From there we drove 
to the top of Montserrat, and were well 
repaid by the grand and glorious view of 
the wonderful Yumuri valley, stretching 
away for miles, as far as the eye could 
reach. A panorama of tropical beauty, 
the finest in all the world, so far as I 
know. 
After spending a week or two, enjoying 
the delightful climate of Cuba, and visit- 
ing the sugar and tobacco plantations, we 
returned to Havana. We took passage 
on the old side-wheel steamer Whitney 
for New Orleans. As the Mississippi 
happened to be at a flood stage of unusu- 
al height, we sailed over a vast sea of 
water from the Delta at its mouth to 
New Orleans, taking short cuts across 
the bends, over sugar plantations, and 
even over the tree tops. From the Cres- 
cent City we went to Cincinnati by rail. 
CANOEING DOWN 
THE NEMEKAGON 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 431) 
We found State Line Rapids heavy but 
not dangerous because there was plenty 
of water ; one can well imagine that 
there would be a different story to tell 
in flood time. The afternoon passed un- 
eventfully and we bent to our paddles 
with a will; being somewhat put to it 
to find water enough to float our load, 
not that there was not water enough, 
but too many sand-bars. As George 
said, “There’s water enough in the St. 
Croix, only it is spread out over half of 
Minnesota.” 
At three we ran into Danbury, and 
stopped for a few supplies and the more 
and more appreciated ice-cream. Our 
visit was brief and at five o’clock we 
went into camp upon an open bank upon 
+ he south, or Wisconsin, side of the river 
as I should now say. Upon the Minne- 
sota side was an Indian’s home and we 
asked the privilege of buying some hay, 
of which there was an abundance in 
bunches along the river bank, and 
browse was becoming more and more 
scarce close to the river. After supper 
the Indian visited us, and to our in- 
quiries regarding trout streams, replied 
that there were several upon the Minne- 
sota side and some upon the Wisconsin, 
all hard to find. However, he did say 
that we would find a little creek much 
visited by his people in days gone by 
well down upon the Wisconsin side and 
that we would recognize the spot by a 
high yellow bank, capped with white pine, 
at the head of a large island. We filed 
the information away. The night was 
cool and with the coming of dusk the 
whip-poor-wills gathered to serenade us, 
a chorus we found highly satisfactory. 
We set out the next morning thinking 
of the Indian’s trout stream, finding it 
with little difficulty, though without his 
explicit directions it would have been im- 
possible, as it was inconspicuous and 
well hidden with vegetation. It was not 
large enough to deserve the name of 
creek, though the water was very cold 
and refreshing. And it contained trout, 
small ones that needed stretching to con- 
form to the Wisconsin seven inch limit;
