in my face. For an instant I could not 
collect my wits, and then realized with 
a thrill that the water around the raft 
was literally boiling with trout, some 
of them so near that they splashed 
against the raft. It was this that 
had awakened me and for a few 
‘moments I could only stare at the 
phenomenon. 
HE hatch of moths had increased to 
alarming proportions; the air was 
white with the myriad host that flew 
with an uncanny quietness. They cov- 
ered my body, flew into my face, and 
if I opened my mouth, six or seven flew 
into the cavity before I could close it 
again. 
I finally collected my wits enough to 
put on a white miller tied on a No. 
hook and make a cast. I do not believe 
that the fly hit the water before I was 
fast into a dandy trout. Filled with a 
strange excitement due to the unusual 
conditions, I forced the fight to a stand- 
still in a very few minutes. While 
putting the trout just caught into my 
creel I let the white miller fly dangle 
overboard, and even before I had 
straightened up to make a new cast I 
was fast into another trout who had 
jumped at least 6 inches into the air 
to grab the fly dangling from the end 
of my leader. I landed this trout after 
a short spirited struggle, had hooked 
and was still playing another fish, when 
all activity on the part of the feeding 
trout stopped. I quietly landed the one 
I had on, and then cast again and again 
to no avail. If it hadn’t been for the 
three trout that were reposing in my 
basket I would have thought it all a 
dream or a fantasy fostered by the 
hope of good fishing after the dire 
disappointments of the last few days. 
But no! The proof was there! The 
three beautiful trout reposed safely in 
my creel. I looked again at the sur- 
face of the water. The abnormal hatch 
of moths had disappeared. Once again 
there were only a few solitary moths 
fluttering around the lantern, throw- 
ing their weird, grotesque shadows 
against the forest wall. It was too 
much for me. I quit and went to bed.

Breaking camp at Dog Pond is al- 
ways a sad and gloomy affair. One 
becomes so enraptured with the sur- 
roundings after a few days that it is 
really painful to separate oneself from 
the place. It means leaving the abso- 
lute peace and quiet of the wilderness, 
where one forgets everything but the 
sheer joy of being alive. It is a wonder- 
ful sensation to have at your disposal 
an entire pond and limitless forest and 
not see a single soul except your pard- 
ners. Then, too, the pond always looks 
just right for a wonderful catch on the 
| morning of departure, and generally 
trout are rising all over the surface of 
| the water. It is beyond the will power

awaits You in 
OME to this vast forest-robed land 
where game is plentiful, where your 
hunting is bound to be rewarded by mag- 
nificent trophies. Canada offers that com- 
bination of virgin hunting-grounds and 
splendid means of access by which the 
sportsman is enabled to make his “kill” 
without undue expenditure of time and 
effort. 
Canadian National Railways, spanning the continent's 
best game country, takes you into new territory—alive 
with game. Travel but a little way off the rail-route, 
and you are in a wilderness where your voice is the 
first to echo, your rifle the first to crack. 
Canada—great moose country—is also the natural 
range of animals rarely found elsewhere—deer, caribou, 
big horn sheep, mountain goat and bear. There are 
geese, ducks, partridge, prairie chickens—feathered 
game in abundance. 
For the hunting experiences of a lifetime, come to the 
“unspoiled country” where game abounds. Let Ca- 
nadian National Railways transport you. For informa-
