The LACHINE RAPIDS are between 7 and 8 miles west of Montreal, and are the most dangerous of a succession of Rapids in the St. Lawrence River. Steamers, however, descend them in safety. Although the passage of the rapids is dangerous, a sense of pleasurable excitement takes the place of fear in the minds of tourists in general. The pilot, a noble Indian who guides the boats, is insensible to fear though not to the responsibility that rests upon him ; and no serious accident under his management has occurred. It is a pleasant trip to go by the "Cars" from Montreal to Lachine on a fine summer morninjr and return by the "Rapids". ir< ] , I i h ■' *> - K, ' -J /'\ H^ 0) !\ 1 !1 ^^
