dories. It was a doubtful pleasure as 
the cinders blew back into our eyes and 
sifted into our clothing, but it seemed 
better than sitting in the stuffy cars. 
O N reaching Grand Lake it did not 
take very much time for us to 
change into our old clothes and 
to leave what we did not want to take 
into camp at the hotel. Then we got 
into our dories and were off. Down the 
lake we rowed, until we reached a point 
about seven miles from town, and here 
made our first night’s camp. This gave 
us a chance to look over our other 
guides, whom we had only just met be- 
fore setting out. I have mentioned 
Maxim Young already, and in addition 
we had two brothers, William and John 
Burchell, and another man named Pan- 
cho, whose last name we never did 
learn. They were all typical fishermen 
and followed their trade except when 
the shooting season was open, when 
they took \J> guiding for a change. We 
found them very willing, for they would 
do everything we asked them, but we 
soon found out that as guides went 
they knew little about making com- 
fortable camps and less about hunting. 
But put them down oh the “Barrens” 
in an impenetrable fog and far from 
camp and they could take the right 
line with little trouble; it really was 
v/eird the way they seemed to feel 
the direction. 
We were storm bound the next day, 
as the wind had come up with great 
force and the lake was far too rough 
to travel on, loaded down as our 
dories were. In spite of the rough 
water, however, we saw our first cari- 
bou swimming across the lake. It was 
a lone cow and far from shore when 
we first saw her, but on she came, 
breasting the waves as if they were 
no trouble, and finally landed not far 
from us. She stood there a moment 
looking about, then trotted up the cob- 
bly beach and into the woods, where 
we lost sight of her. Someone sug- 
gested a swim, and as this sounded 
like a good scheme to all of us, we 
dashed down from camp and jumped in. 
Never have I felt such water. It was 
like ice, but after getting out, the re- 
action was wonderful and more than 
made up for the first awful moments. 
The next day the wind had shifted 
so rigging up some rubber sheets and 
a tent fly into makeshift sails, we 
raced off down the lake to the “Nar- 
rows,” eighteen miles away, where we 
made camp. The lake pinched together 
at this point, leaving quite a narrow 
strip of water, and we were told it 
was a favorite crossing place for the 
caribou who, during the mating season, 
wander about continually from one 
place to another. 
Not far from camp we made a cache 
of some extra supplies, and then mak- 
ing up our packs we started up the 
trail which zig-zagged through the 
trees, climbing higher and higher until
