law of Nova Scotia. On our way to 
camp we noticed flies had burrowed 
into the moose flesh while damp and 
there laid their eggs, which can be done 
only' when the flesh is wet or damp and 
the weather is warm. These eggs then 
hatch by millions into maggots, which 
quickly spoil the flesh. Bob cut out a 
big piece of flesh into which these flies 
had burrowed deeply, laying their eggs. 
Salt was put on the neck where some 
eggs had been laid. The ravens dis- 
posed of the entrails. 
' Returning to the main camp we had 
supper and Bob started for Kempt- 
ville, seven miles off, at 6.15. He was 
so strong and active that he thought 
nothing of a 14-mile jaunt of an eve- 
ning. We brought the head and skin to 
camp, and several slices of a hind-quar- 
ter with us. With the aid of Bob’s 
brother, we brought the four quarters 
of moose to the edge of Second Lake, 
and then placed them in a boat, rowed 
with them to camp, where we placed 
two in the ice house for canning. The 
remaining two quarters we had hauled 
out of camp by an ox team to the main 
road and from there carried to Kempt- 
ville by horse and wagon. 
The main camp, or Oak Hill Camp, 
as it is called, consists of a small cot- 
tage surrounded by a low veranda, on 
the summit of a hill overlooking a wide 
expanse of forest, lakes and streams, 
stocked with trout, duck, partridges, 
moose and deer. Adjacent to this cen- 
tral camp are various log cabins, one, 
in particular, a sportsman’s paradise, 
with large open fireplace and compart- 
ments for four persons. The neigh- 
boring forests consist of pine, hack- 
matack or tamarack, birch of several 
varieties, maple, spruce, ash, oak, juni- 
per, balsam and hemlock. 
A SPORTSMAN’S WANDERINGS 
J G. MILLAIS, author of The Life 
# of F. C. Selous, has recently com- 
piled in book form some scatter- 
ed observations on men and hunts 
which have been brought out by Hough- 
ton, ‘Mifflin Company under the title of 
A Sportsman’s Wanderings. Price $5.00. 
Upon reading this interesting book 
one cannot help regretting that the au- 
thor did not dwell more fully on his 
African journeys. He dismisses in a 
few words what must have been one of 
the greatest experiences of his life. 
No man could have gone into the great 
game fields of South Africa during the 
latter part of the last century and not 
have been singularly impressed with 
the extraordinary variety and multi- 
tude of wildlife that existed in that 
country at that period. Of course, the 
adventures of that first trip to Africa 
have been recorded to some extent in 
his earlier book, “A Breath from the 
Veldt,” but we feel that he should have 
devoted at least a chapter of his auto- 
biography to such an important event 
in his life. 
Also he gives scant attention toi the 
many journeys he made to Newfound- 
land in quest of the Caribou, and his 
Alaska hunts are not even mentioned.
