Ingonish 
between those of Digby and French River, 
and upon them were drying the everlasting cod. 
The family, too, keeps the store, that opens on 
the lane, and doubtless the post-office is there, 
for the postman drives in his two-wheeled cart 
from Baddeck up along when the weather is 
fit, but in winter he carries his budget on a 
sledge drawn by dogs. 
There are wharves for the fishing-boats at 
North Ingonish ; and these, with the boats 
lying about, give it a pleasing touch of the 
picturesque. 
Ingonish is the end of the tourists' explora- 
tions as a rule. Few find their way thither, 
still fewer go north of there ; and as we looked 
toward the mysterious and yet distant Cape 
North, we had the pleasurable feeling that it at 
least was all our own.
