and a cord tied to it. A ring of pli- 
able withe, 14 inches diameter, is next 
made and tacked on. the canopy, so as 
to hold its folds wed away from the face, 
and the whole works is suspended over 
one's sleeping rig by tying the cord to a 
limb, or a grommet in the tarp overhead. 
This is then dropped around one’s face 
and shoulders, after getting into blanket 
or bag, and will keep the stingarees at 
bay. Mosquito netting will not do, for 
punkies go right through it. During the 
daytime in these waters you need a head 
net to protect your face, and ten-cent 
cotton gloves on your hands, with a bit 
of tape tying your wrists fast so the 
black flies cannot crawl up your sleeves 
and bite, as they love to do. These gloves 
are also mighty handy in working about 
the cook-fire, and in keeping your hands 
warm during the chill of night and in 
paddling on rough cold days. The more 
of your bodily heat you conserve, the 
more vitality you will have. 
And, do not forget the “rest stick.” 
It is a pole, six feet long, which you cut 
in the underbrush on portage and carry 
with you, with the canoe resting on its 
paddles, lashed to the forward thwarts 
and bow seat. The paddles rest on your 
shoulders, and need no steadying so your 
hands are free. The stern man has the 
tail of the canoe resting on his shoulder, 
with a pair of .socks under it to keep 
it from cutting his collar bone, and both 
of you have your light packs on your 
backs if going light, and doing your port- 
ages in one lap. If doing it in two, as 
will be necessary in long trips where lots 
of food must be packed, the canoe is 
taken over on the first lap and the duffle 
on the second. In any event, off you 
start along the trail, with the flies buz- 
zing about under the canoe. It is not 
a very heavy load, but at the end of 
three hundred paces you will be glad to 
stop and rest, and here the rest stick 
comes into its own. For, sticking it in 
upright and catching its top on a canoe 
rib, you transfer the canoe load to it, 
and step out from under, merely steady- 
ing it on the rest stick, while the stern 
man sets down the tail of the canoe on 
the ground. In this way a two-mile 
carry can be made with little fatigue. 
Hunches of this kind are what turn 
canoe crushing from a memory of toil 
to that of pleasure. This article will 
give you the broad outlines of success- 
ful going; the details you will fill in 
on your own trips as you go. ft is one 
of the cheapest, most healthful and en- 
joyable of all outings, is the canoe trip. 
I make at least one every year, some 
times three or four, and advise you to 
go and do likewise.

stayed in camp and talked things over. 
Jack was a romancer and proved very 
entertaining. 
Sunday night was warmer and next 
morning we all went down the stream to 
where the Skunk joined the Nagagami.
