Within the wide-decked ship whose eager keel.

The restless, surging ocean billows reel.
And o'er their foam-capped crests to us reveal
The outlines of a panorama grand,—

The rugged sea-girt cliffs of Grand Manan,

VEXING question this, " How and where shall
I spend my vacation ? " when a hundred attrac-
tions offer themselves in tempting array. You
may have "done" resorts near home till the
desire for " something new " demands attention.
Then allow me to offer a few suggestions.
From the tourist's point of view there are
always new worlds to conquer, fresh fields to
visit, new experiences to live. The surprising
thing is that so much remains so near at hand and so rich in entertain-
ment. You may not appreciate how much lies in store for you " just
over the border," in that region " toward the sunrise," that landscapes
of unique and varied beauties wait to gladden your eye ; nor how novel
may be your experiences under another flag. Not alone a land of
strange and beautiful physical features, but also rich in historic memories
and bathed in the soft glamour of romance. All this, and more, is true
of that portion of Canada called the Maritime Provinces, the " Acjuod-
die " of the Indian, the Acadia of the pioneers of France in the New-
World.

Who has not conjured up legends and tales at mention of " Passa-
maquoddy," or felt a stimulus in the resounding names of " Grand

Manan " or " Inindy " ? wliat sjiortsnian that lias not seen visions of
noble game and Indian guides with deft paddles, to the music of such
names as " Metapedia," " Restigouche," or " Miramichi "?

Certainly none could have read " Mvangeline " without a longing for
the fair fields of drand I'rt} and the mysterious forests of Hiomitlon.
All this becomes reality for him who reads, by means of the water route
of the well-established Intirnational Steamship Company, — a reality
l)refaced l)y all the delights of an ocean voyage sans discomforts, — a
voyage skirting the jjictured shores of more than half New Kngland, the
waters of I'assaniatiuoddy and Fundy Hays, having Boston for its initial
point, Portland and Eastport its intermediate landings, and St. John its
terminal.

'I'his company has three side-wheel steamers, the " State of Maine,"
" Cumberland," and " New lirunswick," the two first named of about
sixteen hundred tons burden, anil the latter of about one thousand tons,
fitted with conveniences and luxuries of modern naval construction.
The cuisine and service have long been a matter of note to travellers,
and are kejjt at an unvaryingly high standard of excellence.

In connection with its steamship lines this company has established
a system of tourist routes and rates (see latter part of book), covering
rail and steamboat lines necessary for reaching the summer resorts of
Maine, as well as those within the Maritime Provinces of New Bruns-
wick and Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton, famous
C.rand Manan, the charming Passama(iuoddy liay resting retreats of
Campobello Island and St. Andrews-by-the-Sea.

The reader will readily understand that the limited space afforded in
a book of this tlescription will not allow of an exhaustive treatment of the
many summer resorts reached by this company and its connections.

A resume of personal observations, combined with numerous im-
pressions of other and more careAil observers and writers, is all that the
author can offer on this most fascinating of subjects. " See it for your-
self" is the only perfect satisfaction.

l"rER an admonitory blast or two from the hoarse
throat of the whistle, the polite suggestion, " All
ashore that's going ashore," the heavy i)lash of
stern and bow line by the steamer's side, the great
|)iston plunges into the depths of the engine pit,
and the ponderous wheels begin their revolutions,
not to cease until two hundred and thirty miles
and more have been spanned, and twenty-one
thousand revolutions scored on the wonderfully human little register
below.

From the hurricane deck the roofs of the warehouses seem moving
slowly away, the voyage is actually begun ; we would not bespeak for
you any other than a balmy, sunny day, be it early or late summer, or
mid-season, the great steamer, in its holiday attire of gay bunting, re-
ceiving numerous little marine courtesies from small craft, glides out
among the exhilarating scenes of a great harbor at the height of the
season, and heads for the open sea.

Perhaps for the first time you will realize, as )ou look back, what an
evolution Boston is undergoing in its physical aspects at least, as the
half-dozen recent architectural achievements assert themselves, and soar
grandly heavenward. Wonderfully striking and picturesque it is, sug-
gestive perhaps also of the " Greater Boston " that is to be ; the gilded
dome sinks into a secondary position, dwarfed by the superior tow-
ers that stand before it.

The steamer is now swiftly leaving the city behind and bringing into
view the islands of the harbor, — (lovernor's, with il;i sullen, silent Fort

Wintlirop, on the left, Castle Island, with massive waiU ol" Fort Inde-
pendence on the right, tied to South lioston by a many-spanned bridge,
and fcjllowing the main ship channel, Spectacle and I,ong Islands glide
silently by. That large gr()n|) of buildings on the left is not a stmimer
resort exactly, although it is (|uite a favorite retreat for certain individuals
who frequent it at the invitation ami expense of the municipality '. A mile
or so and we are off the northern end of Long Island and Nix's Mate,
with (Jalloui^e's and I.ovell's beyond. It is just here that our course is
brcjuglU around to N. K. by K. and we are Iieaded straight for Cape
Ann ; on our right, again, the striking group of the I'.rewsters swings into
view, (Ireat, Middle, and Outer; just beyond and over the Middle,
looming white in the morning sunlight, stands the tower of Boston Light.

"Though if a cloud-shade chance to dip
Upon it a moment, 'twill sutklcnly sink.
Levelled and lost in the darkened main,
Till tlic sun liuilds it suddenly up again
As if with a rub of Aladdin's lamp."

The broad waters of Massachusetts Bay open up before, sprinkled
with many a flying sail, the line of smoke from a distant steamer deli-
cately pencilled along the soft summer sky. Nahant, first to appear of
the group of headlands along the North Shore, lifts itself as a kind of
promise of much that is to follow. Behind it a golden thread moors it
to the land, then melts away on either side in glistening, shining strands,
— the beaches of Revere and Lynn.

The moving panorama shifts again, and another bold peninsula
stretches out along the northern horizon, flanked by the white beaches
and glowing bits of ledge of Swampscott on oiie side, the dim out-
lines melting into mist on the other. It is Marblehead Neck ; from it
to the many spires of Lynn a chain of summer colonies, basking in the
mellow light, close on our port the tiny light on Egg Rock. As the
light on the neck comes into full view,

and >liadowy like the tales that Hawthorne wove from the witc hery of
Salem's olilen time. Indeed, how saturated with the glamour of
romance and tradition is all this northern shore, from I'.oston I5ay to
I'ortsmouth town I How many names dear to New England's heart, or
written on fame's fair scroll, are suggested to the mind of the beholder !

From Salem to Cape Ann's rocky verge is an almost continuous i)ro-
cession of country villas ; creations of many of the first architects of our
day; homes of elegance, luxury, and refinement. Heverly, Manchester,
Magnolia, all of them backeil by mile upon mile of bronze green
verdure. Eastern Point, another of our favorite haunts, supporting on
its bald front a light, marks the entrance to Cdoucester and its ami)le
harbor, from whose remote shelter a score of sail are lazily drifting.

For some time jjast two gray towers have l)een growing out of the
distance, like the dim portals to some mysterious haven, out there be-
yond Cape .Ann, —

" 'I'wo pale sisters all alone.
On an island hleak ami hare," —

the Cape Ann lights of Thatcher's Island, first to the eye of the trans-
atlantic pilot, first, also, in their classification and importance, their twin
columns rising a hundred and twelve teet skyward, constituting, with
Boston Light, the Shoals, and Cape Elizabeth, the great guideboards, as
it were, from Boston to Portland. It is just here that the steamer's
course is shaped, either for Portlaiul or Eastport as the case may lie ; if
for the latter, east by north, to Matinicus Light, if the former, as our pres-
ent purpose requires, then it is for Cape Elizabeth Light, and within
sight of the Isles of Shoals, those " half-dozen fragments of wave-worn
rock, thrust up from the bottom of the sea, like the cast-off remnants of
a continent," that wonderful, sunny archipelago, like

"A string of pearls they lie c)n Ocean's bre.ist,
Steeped in a languor brought them from afar."

They, too, have been sung by poets and limned by artists as no other
island group along our coast. It seems (juite apropos that the light-
keeper's daughter should possess a poet's soul, should be the annalist
and idealizer of its charms and mysteries.

The indefinite and misty shore line that reaches in a vari-hued are
from Cape Ann to Cape Neddick we know to be the boundary of three
States on the ocean side, the strands to which so many thousands flee
for their breath of salty air and cooling bath ; Agamenticus only, the
storied hill of York, standing out in strong relief, a sort of beacon to

guide the sailor to a salt- JKuiior. Ibis liiii iiad iit.'( iiliar fascinations to

Charles I. sought to distinguish it with the name of lioston. Moon Island
and its light, that romes just in line with .\gauienti( lis, stands out in soli-
tary isolation, some ten miles from shore or neighbor. It is about this
time when blue roat and brass buttons, assisted by a bell, aimounces
diiuier, and an opportunity offers to discover that one (an get as perfect

the other, and Half-Way its central point, or nearly so. Passing Kam
Island, which looks jierfectly harmless, we are confronted by the rather
imposing Ottawa House, charmingly placed on (bushing's Island, the
most imi)ortant resort perhaps on the bay. Passing House Islan<l on
which Fort Scammel solemnly stands, with Fort (lorges beyond, and
historic l''ort I'reble on our left, we are fairly in Portland Harbor and
before the fair citv itself.

" The jircatest scai)()rt in the world could not have a more splendid
or n)ore imposing approach," says Drake; and certainly none is more
worthy of it than the Forest City, tiueen of Maine's municipalities, seated
on her noble hill, the proud monarch of fair Casco Bay and of a harbor
unexcelle<l on the Atlantic seaboard.

Her streets, lined ami arched by stately elms, fronted by no less
stately churches and colonial mansions, suggest her hii^toric i)ast, or
recall the memory of her beloved poet, Longfellow ; with her numerous
handsome civic and commercial buildings, her " inalienable freehold in
pure air, generous sunshine, and the most ex(|uisite of sea-scapes," it is
natural that Portland should prove attractive to a stranger, and on closer
acipiaintance a most " livable " town.

Po[)ulated by some twoscore thousand souls, the terminal of several
railroad lines, the very heart, indeed, from which numerous railway
arteries radiate, north, east, and west to the great seaside resorts of
Maine, the White Mountains, and the woods, lakes, and streams of the
north, and of course the first maritime city east of Boston, the temptation
is strong to dwell on such a congenial subject much more than our
limited space allows. Portland has a history, too, a rich and savory one ;
dating from its incorporation as Falmouth in 1658, re-incorporated as
Portland in 1 786, known also to the savage as Machigonne. Such
names as Munjoy, Bramhall, Preble, Cleves, and a score of others keep
alive the memories of those whose valor or greatness has made history.
Of course every one will wish to find the old house of Peleg Wadsworth,
he of Castine fame, and grandfather of the poet, standing near the hardly
less venerable Preble House, and the birthplace of the poet on Fore
Street.

The antitpiated eastern cemetery will furnish material for a good
day's rummaging among its moss-grown stones and tablets.

Some hot naval engagements have taken place off Portland, that of
the "Boxer" and "Enterprise" in 1814 leading the list. She also
enjoys the distinction of being the only Northern port visited by rebels

a view at short range of that niagnill<ent old sentinel.
White Head, that stands guard on the northeasterly end
of C'ushing's Island ; if so, it is easy to understand why it
filled the imagination of L(jngfellow's youth, insjjiring his
pen as well as others. .\ momentary jpassage hclwcen the gray walls on
the starl)oard and the green banks on the i)ort side of Cushing's and
I'eak's Islands, and we are met l)y one of th(we visions of beauty that
only the coast of Maine reveals, —

* " Mays rcsi)lcn(leMt as the hcavLii, ^

Starred and gf nimtd hv thousand isles,
(lire! thee; t'asco with its islets,
Quoddy with its dimpled smiles," —

melting into the golden distance of a late summer afternoon.

Drake, in his " I'ine Tree Coast," uses the apt illustration of a
ploughed field for this remarkable bay, the ocean having filled the fur-
rows, and proiluced a cro]) of some two himdred and twenty or more
isles, all trending like the furrows in a northeasterly direction. It would
be madness to attempt to name all the islands in sight, the more prom-
inent beyond Peak's Island !)eing Long, Creat Chebeague, Hope.
Jewell's, and the two tiny specks of inner and outer (Ireen, near which
latter rises a bare rock known by the euphonious title of " the hunk of
l)ork."

The commander of one of the steamers tells us of a gunner who,
deprived of his boat by the rising tide, found very scant sustenance from
this same jjorcine morsel during a long November day and night. Hy
the way, how much the enjoyment of a sea trip is enhanced by a cheery
and communicative captain, such, for instance, as will be found on the
steamers of the International line !

• Hut to renew our Icssuii in geography, after passing the (ireen Islands,
Broad Sound opens on the left, and beyond, Merriconeague Sound with
Harpswell's Neck on its left, IJailey's and storied Orr's on the right.
This brings us to Half-Way Rock with its granite shaft and light, sup-
posedly e(iuidistant from Portland and the Kennebec, init actually " half-
way from nowhere," as the pilot i)uts it.

Our course is now made east by north, and from Half-Way to Seguin
Light is fifteen miles. Northward lay Harpswell's historic shores, and on
the other hand,

" Far out at sua.

The ships that tlee
Along the dim horizon line,
Their sails nnfuKI
Like cloth of gold,
Transfigured l)y that light divine."

After i)assing Cape Sinall, Seguin, which has been growing steadily,
looms proudly before us, just a trifle to jjort, lifting its head two hundred
feet in air, marking most appropriately the estuary of the Kennebec.

The labyrinthine coast line stretches away into purple distance, flecked
with brilliant touches of sunlight on the myriad summer houses that
throng the shores of Popham.

It is eiTiinently fitting that " M'nhiggin," as the old salts call it, bathed
in sunset glory should mark the close of day. Historic, romantic,
delicious old Monhegan, beloved by pirate, trader, fisherman, and artist
as well, for wellnigh three centuries ! Its light guiding the storm-chased
mariner, its tiny harbor, just inside Monanis, a refiige for many a belated
fisherman.

Monhegan is in actuality two islands, the little Monanis separated by
a few rods only from the iiiain island ; its fishing settlement oflering a
unique study for the socialist and a perfect " find " for the artist. It is
almost an annoyance to be called to supper when absorbed in the glories
of a sunset at sea, were it not for the whetted appetite that clamors, and
the table which i)resents a menu that is a work of art in itself. Then
satisfy the physical, that the a;sthetic sense may the more freely enjoy
the feast oflered from the hurricane deck later.

The long twilight of summer lingers caressingly along the horizon far
astern, and

" Looking across where the line of coast
Stretches darkly, shrinking away from the sea,
The lights spring out at its edge."

All the tints of opal and pearl shell play in the steamer's seething

wiikc ; Monlicgan's watchttil eye sparkles ami fleams tnnii its s<)nil)re
throne t;ir to the northward; thirty miles away t'aniden's noble moun-
tains may l)e descried ; Matiniciis, scarce distinj,'iiishal)le from a lesser
star, beckons us on ; while out to sea the billows are crooniiij; their cease-
less lullaby. We are off IVnobscot Hay, where the great river " comes
to meet and mingle with his own bright bay." 'i'his is the land of the
Norseman, the region of shadowy Norimibega, the favorite vantage
ground of early discovery, of Jean I'armentier, Ramusio, Jean Alfonse,
Roberval, and Chamiilain, the scene also of the romantic adventures of
old liaron Castine, whose name still lives in the ipiaint town named for
him on the Magadnce.

'i'his is a time for reveries, when sjjeech is useless and silence golden.
Onward, still onward, "toward the sunrise," through the vast areas of
time and space, and the long restful hours of a night at sea, past Mt.
Desert's blue-black forms ami the stately beacons that guartl the i)ine-
tree coast. At early morn one is awakened by call of the bell boy or
the light of a])proaching ilay, and looking out finds far to the north the
sharp blue line of the Eastern Maine hills. \Ve are off Machias, the l)old
headlands of Cutler, rock-rilibetl, and defiant push boldly out against
the brine. The peculiarly sharp jieak is Bool Head, and near at hand
Eastern Head. Eastward, and still fixrther away, looms Grand Manan,
crowned with the flaming tiara of a matchless sunrise. An hour or more
of steaming in the ilelicious ozone and West Quoddy Light is saluted, its
striped sides standing in sharp contrast against the green background of
Quoddy Head ; a moment later our pilot directs, " North, northwest,"
and a sharp turn discloses the southern entrance to Quoddy Roads, and
the fair village of Lubec, crowning a hiil, gleaming white in the sunlight.

On the right at close range is Campobello, that coveted spot of
many charms. At last we are at the " end of things," the extremity of
Uncle Sam's domain. It is not diflicult to realize the pilot's skill as we
note the tortuous course of the great steamer 'mid fish weirs, buoys, and
jutting points, till at last the Eubec narrows with its ferocious currents is
passed and the landing at Lubec reached.

One recognizes on coming out into Friar Roads, that lie just before
Lubec, what it is that attracts the hundreds, and is destined to call its
thousands to Passamaquoddy or " Quoddy " Bay, as it is more commonly
known. Its glistening waters are alive with schooners, trim yachts, busy
ferry steamers, and countless small craft of every kind ; islands float in
smiling content, revealing atween their evergreen summits distant glimp-
ses of mountain, and reaches of Quoddy Bay.

,1^ being the very centre of the great Kastern resorts, the
,1 ■ fotal point from whence tourists radiate to the score of
hotels and small towns that cater to stmimer travel, it is
(juite ai)propriate that it should receive first attention.
I'lie first thing that imjjresses a stranger (via his nostrils) is the herring
and sardine industries, whose i)acking houses line the water front, each
with its fishing boats in attendance. To be literal, the output of smoked
herring is two million boxes or more, and of canned sardines (so called),
three hundred thousand cases, of which the International freights the
major part. Wandering up from the landing tiirough the main street,
the evidences of the fire of 1887 are omnipresent in the new structures
bearing that date. 'I'he handsome new library building, erected by private
be(|uest recently, heading the list, the substanial granite government
building flanking the farther end. 'I'hroughout tlie town many (|uaint
old homesteads remain to keep alive the memory of the past, which for
its situation Eastport has little of importance to show.

it is to the hill back of the town and back of Fort Sullivan, where
now is placed the water tower, that the visitor's feet should turn, for it
is just here, if we mistake not, that all the matcliless beauty of the
Quoddy region unfolds itself as at no other point. The eager eye drinks
in a mosaic of land and water in every direction. Northward into the
heart of the St. Croix and the Chamcook Mountains ; easterly, upon the
fair bosom of Quodily Bay, set with a hundred isles ; easterly still and
southward across the noble mass of Campobello and old ocean ; still

by the magnificent Friar's Head, and the .piaint settlement of Welsh-
pool. You will visit, of course, the old ( )wen Manor House, the home
of the Admiral iMt/.william ( )wcn, to whom the island was grantetl in
1767, and whose burial by candle-light in tiie tiny family chapel was the
fitting close to an eccentric life ; will then run over to the Friar's Head,
and across, by one of the most romantic bits of woodsy road in all
Canada, to the lovely Cove and Lake of C.len Severn, Harbor de Lute,
and among the hundreil aljiine paths that cover like network the stupentl-
ous Eastern Head. And then, our kindest service would be, to advise
a sojourn at the model hotels mentioned, allowing you to wander, tancy
free, in search of the numberless and ever-new retreats that cover this
Eden of an islan<l. Campobello is some eight miles loiig by three in
width, is iK)pulated by about twelve hundred souls, mostly fisher-folk,
many of whom retain the (juaint flavor of their Scotch and \Velsh
ancestors, and is owned princajially by an American stock company.

LUBEC.

The same stanch little steamer that plies to Cam])ol)ello also touches
at Lubec, where, as the reader will remember, the International steam-
ers make a landing at their new pier. This quaint and altogether
picturescjue village is also given up to fish and fishing, and smokes and
boils and oils its herring that come up in silvery basketfuls from the fish-
ing boats by her wharves right merrily. It is striking in perspective, it
is quite fascinating at short range, and, with its original characters, would
seem to be only waiting for the pen of Miss Jewett or Miss VVilkins.

Its history is quickly told ; having been set ajjart from Eastport in
1811, its setdement dating from about 1772 to 1780, and augmented by
accessions of citizens who objected to British rule, under which East-
port chafed till 1817. There are two comfortable hotels in the town,
and numerous private houses where summer guests are entertained.

Four objective points in Quoddy Bay region give typical and entirely
distinctive views. Of these, Lubec is one, from whose heights a less
extensive but thoroughly satisfying view in its unity and arrangement is
found. Looking northward, Eastport, with its huge water tower high
above it, slopes gracefully to the bay; beyond it the islands, Deer,
Indian, and Cherry, with the Canadian waters and mountains stretching
flirther away. On the right, Campobello. On the left, Cobscook Bay

many a mile ami many a reach to the towns of Pembroke, Dennysville,
and Whiting. Small craft can penetrate for eighteen miles inland, north,
west, or south, among curious intricacies of coast line.

One of the most interesting and instructive excursions from Lubec is
by carriage to West Quoddy Light, the most eastern in the States, sur-
rounded by magnificent coast scenery and surf effects. W'estward
some eighteen miles lies Cutler, with its summer colony. Northward,
by the bridge spanning a tiny inlet, or by the ferry-boats. North Lubec
is reached, notably a summer camp-ground, and site of the Ne-mat-ta-
no Hotel, the property of the New England Young Men's Christian
Associations and North Lubec Land Improvement Company, — an ideal
sjjot for its purpose, imder the fostering care of a Christian manage-
ment.

PEMBROKE, PERRY, DENNYSVILLE.

On the mainland, north of Cobscook Bay, reached by its penetrating
waters ami the small steamers that follow it as well as by road from East-
port and the towns of the St. Croix River, lay the peaceful and contented
villages above named ; the former being largest of the trio. It is
here one should wander when desiring perfect quiet and immunity from
social excitement. The delightful mingling of pastcral and maritime
occupations, in their appropriate and natural settings furnishes a sufficient
amusement for the idler, to which may be added the same host of
attractions before mentioned that offer themselves.

These towns are convenient to the beautiful roads that follow the St.
Croix, or penetrate to the woodsy shored lakes, Meddybemps, Magur-
rewok, Pennamaquan, and others of Indian tradition ; convenient also
to the network of bays and creeks, through which one may float or sail
with the favoring tides. Life among them is primitive and simple ; the
cost of a summer outing, therefore, small.

to the worn and jaded body a haven of
rest, home of the eagle and the gull, fog

Steamer " Flushing " lies at Kastport

The trip is sure to arouse the enthu-

stupendous cliffs that botmd its whole

against its sombre mass, and great clouds of spotless gulls swirl and float
above its inaccessible eyries. Perchance you may see the Indians who
dwell on Manan, |)erforniing their ingenious feat of shooting porpoises
from their birch canoes, as unconscious of danger as the gulls dancing
on the wave near l)y !

A few little grt)Ups of silvery gray huts, built by daimtiess fishermen,
maj- be seen clinging to the bits of pebbly slKJ'e that here anti there
border some indenting cove, settlements full of picturesciueness, and —
ancient and fish-like smells. Al)out midway of the north shore is Indian
Head, the highest point on the island, and near it the curious little Dark
Harljor, separated by a sand bar or peblily dike from tiie ocean, which
rushes in through a narrow sluiceway, furnishing a natural traj) from
which the fisiiermen take vast (juantities of herring. Money Cove, a
little farther west, is another of the traditional haunts of Kidd ; poor
Captain Kidd, he did not believe in |)Utting his wealth all in one bank !

ugly reefs of Pemberlon Point,
named after the noble vessel
that was driven to its doom here ,
on a l)itter January night. A '

of vertical cliffs bursts on the
astonished beholder ; these (the
" Seven Days' Work" they are
called) give the first real glimpse

of Manan's strongest characteristics ; after them, the Swallow 'I ail Heatl,
which we round on coming into harbor, seems quite insignificant.

The impretentious hotel here offers comfortable entertainment, its
walls hung with souvenirs of the many artists who have frequented tiie
island for years past, its one-time mariner proprietor a mine of informa-
tion and entertainment.

It is not easy in a few lines to mention half the points of interest to
be seen. Suffice it to say no one should fail to visit the stupendous
basalt cliffs of Southern Head, which is reached by a three-hour sail or
drive and a few minutes' walk. Better yet, follow the entire shore from
Southern to Northern Head, with its constant surprises. The dense
woodland landscapes in the interior of the island, over which glimpses
of distant shore and water are caught, are stimulative and suggestive in
the highest degree, and to the true nature lover will \no\c one of the
strongest attractions.

rich in lore, richer still in (harm of landscape and
water-scape, significant as the water boundary
between two i^reat powers.

At Eastport, again, one steps from the deck of
one steamer to that of another, well known in
Massachusetts waters, the " Rose Stamlish," of the Frontier Steamboat
Company. The course lies north by west l)etween the Jiritish islands,
Indian and Deer, on which is a consiilerable settlement of remnants of
the Quotldy Indians, opposed by Kendall Head and Pleasant Point on
our mainland. \ four-mile run brings us into the fair estuary of St.
Croix, and still fairer (Juoildy Hay, the na/ Quoddy, sweeping twenty
miles into the north, the river leading the eye even farther, to Oak Hay.

.'Vgainst the bold mounds of the Chamcooks is faintly seen a spire
or two, and on a hill still higher a castle-like building which grows in
prominence and detail as we approach, until recognizable as a summer
hotel of fine proportions and ample size.

It is the AlgoiKpiin, and the picturesciue town lying at its feet, with
its crumbling wharves and tiny lighthouse basking in the sunshine, is, as
you will guess,

A sleepy old town it is, (juaint and self-satisfied, its streets laid out
with distressing regularity, but dotted here and there with relics of the
past, suggestive of colonial days and the Royalists who founded it. One
would naturally expect much of interest, historically, in this little town.

but will be disappointed. It was once quite a slii])ping port, but otiicr
cities seem to have stolen its prestige awa\'.

Its principal stock in trade at present is its marvellously pure and
dry atmosphere, of which there is an inexhaustible supply of the jjurest
and tlriest kind. Gen. Greely is (|Uoted as ample authority in this ccm-
nection ; his reports showing that curiously enough, small areas, at the
extreme southwestern and northeastern limits of our coimtry, possess the
most jierfect climatic- conditions, a mean summer temperature of 6.S",
and an atmosphere remarkably free from humidity. This is quite note-
worthy, considering the close proximity of Grand Manan and its
reputation.

Another and eciually desirable article is its pictures(iue environment.
— I'assamaquoddy, beautiful Chamcook Mountains, and no less beautiful
Chamcook Lake, among the mountains and flowing into the bay by a
short stream.

It is characteristic of American enterprise that the St. Andrews Land
Company should have selected this particular place for improvement,
should have erected on one of the four hills mentioned previously as
view points of this region the splendid hotel, known everywhere as " The
Alg6n<iuin," a house of perfect appointments, and having that enviable
reputation of st/cicss, five seasons of " ten strikes " as a hotel man
expressed it !

Good roads reach inland, fine bathing near at hand, fresh and salt
water recreations, mountain climbing, and e%'ery possible out-of-door
sport are the fitting accompaniment of this ideal resort. " Immunity
from hay fever " is the legend, par excellence, inscribed on its card !

From St. Andrews, running out under the striking headland of Joe's
Point, another excellent observation point of the town, the steamer
immediately enters St. Croix River proper, the little town of Robbinston
on the opposite bank laying snugly and comfortably under the protect-
ing shoulder of an evergreen ridge, which runs out and abruptly drops
into the river just above.

ROBBINSTON.

Not a village of any great importance, nor with any especial historic
significance that we could discover, but certainly a very attractive and
typically American town, with a few of the omnipresent sardine factories,
and a sort of hands-in-the-pockets air, that is very inviting to one who
seeks to "loaf and invite his soul," Whitman would say. There is all
the fishing one could ask for, of every kind, salt or fresh, with some of the

most cxiiuisite drives along the river and inland to be founil anywhere
in the region. An artist is naturally a little tastiflioiis in matters
pictures! |ue, and from his point of view there is no jilace to compare
with little Rohbinston from which to study the varying moods of the
Chamcook range or the dreamy perspectives of the river. Certain it is,
many have summered there, and a more enthusiastic lot of missionaries
for it could scarce be found 1

Rohbinston may |)roperly claim as its own the intensely interesting
annals belonging to this immediate vicinity, of which Doucet's or
"Dochet's " Island, three miles above, is the i'/>ifi>mt\

It is just here that Acadia, by the hands of Champlain and the
Sieur de Monts, began its history, when in 1604 they planted a colony
and a garden, on this speck of dirt. In sjiite of Gen. Greely's asser-
tions as to climate, the garden proved a failure, winter came, and with it
suffering and absolute isolation from the land, so near at hand ; sickness
and death did their work, and spring saw the remnants fleeing to Port
Royal.

Champlain's faithful
pen picture did not pre-
vent acontinuous bound-
ary dispute, for not till
1 796 did a commission
discover the " Isle of
Champlain," the St.
Croix of the discoverers,
and the true boundary
of Acadia. It is in-
teresting, then, as we
steam up river to look
upon the little island mid-stream, with its history fresh in the mind, its
sole resident, the lightkeei)er, in his white tower, with his cow, his garden
(which yields), and the miniature forest at its edge.

This may be a proper time to mention briefly a few of the names
that will figure in our narrative, and serve to keep in mind in outline the
later history of Acadia. Next, then, is Fort Royal, with La Tour's set-
tlement at St. John across the bay, Fort Cumberland near Amherst,
Windsor in mid Nova Scotia, and Louisburg in Cape Breton.

Beyond Doucet's Island, the stupendous summit of Devil's Head,
bristling with lance-like forests, exchanges frowns with Chamcook hills
opposite, and marks with decision a sharp turn in the river, as well as
the entrance of fair Oak Bay. It is the formation of the waters just

Uald Head, on the Canadian side, overlooks some ])retty farms and a
tiny hamlet called '• 'The Ledge."

A |)astoral and thrifty-looking landscape bortlers the stream as we
api)roach Calais and St. .Stephen, where every suggestion is of lumber.
luml)ering. and imnufactures, which will explain very adequately the
existence of such a considerable city. '

CALAIS.

Ciood hotels, attractive streets, fine churches, and a gem of a library
make Calais, with its activity and eight thousand residents, the most im-
portant town on our eastern boundary, the " border city," if yon please,
of the Pine Tree State. Its village green or common is one of the most
charming we have ever seen, lined with conservative and comfortable-
looking mansions of a good old age. Howells might find here a bit of
his .\ltruria, for Calais and St. Stephen refused to ([uarrel during the
international disputes of 1812, so closely are their social and commercial
interests united. To be sure, a customs official is stationed at either end
of the covered bridge between them, and sonwtimcs looks into your grip,
but the many little smuggling incidents are regarded more a., a joke than
an offence evidently ! As Calais is the head of navigation, so is it the
beginning of a water-power on the St. Croix. At Milltown, just above,
extensive lumber mills fill the air with the sound of buzzing saws, the
savory odor of green sawdust, and turn out finished lumber by the
million feet, the raw material coming from the Grand Lake region beyond
Princeton, to which point extends a railway, and the unmeasured forests
along the rivers tril)Utary to it and the St. Croix. There is still good
fishing among these tributary waters of the Grand or " Schoodic " Lakes,
the lower or " big " lake containing pickerel, which of course have driven
out finer species, and the upper or Grand Lake and its stream, brook
and lake trout and land-locked salmon. It is of the smaller lakes north-
westerly that best results may be expected, for which Indian guides a
plenty are available at Princeton. Edward A. Samuels may be quoted
as having had " great fishing " in these waters.

Aside from the lumber industry, quarrying is of some little import-

ST. STEPHEN.

What is said of Calais is also ])ra( ticauy true of this border town of
New linmswick, with the exception of its pojiulation, which is some
three or lour thousand less. In addition it has a large cotton mill, and
also railway connection with the outer world ; with St. John by the Shore
line, with the vast areas of Northern Maine and New IWunswick and
Quebec by the Canadian Pacific, St. .Andrews to the south, as well. Il
would be a (juite uni)ar(lonal)le error to leave this corner of New llruns-
wick without a glimpse of the wild beauties of

LAKE UTOPIA AND FALLS OF ST. GEORGE,

which lie some thirty miles eastwaril. This lake is especially rich in its
color variety, the bold ledges of red granite throwing up huge towers
from the forests, or reflecting themselves in the dancing waters below,
proilucing effects that are uni(iue and striking in the extreme. The lake
flows through a small outlet into the river Magaguadavic, near the station
of same name on the New Brunswick Railway, and tUlwiu-liis into
Passamatpioddy at St, CJeorge, rushing between narrow walls, forming a
cascade of great splendor. The Magaguadavic, also reached by small
steamers and boats from Eastport and vicinity, has been of late a favor-
ite excursion of its denizens. For more than a century after the Doucet's
Island incitlent this stream was accepted as the St. Croix, and christened
such with the crucifix of the Jesuit explorers, until the discovery as
mentioned by the boundary commission of conclusive evidence to the
contrary. The pretty town of St. Cleorge, of some four thousand popu-
lation, just here, is engaged in lumbering and tpiarrying, and proves a
convenient stopping place for fishermen of Lake Utopia, where good
trout fishing is assured.

Returning again to our starting point at Eastport, let us continue
onward again toward that Ultima Thule of our travels,

"EASTWARD AGAIN."

On steaming out from Eastport between East Quoddy or Head
Harbor Light on one hand, and Deer Island on the other, one is intro-

land whose estuaries and streams it fills so nobly. The view from this
point takes on an entirely new and ( haracteristic llavor ; ac ross the
yellow-green and llashing expanse of the l»ayloom Grand Manan and the
wooded, savage-looking islands, the "Wolves"; to landward. Passama-
(|uoddy's gateway and hundred islets ; while New Hrunswick's shores lift
their jagged and ruddy headlands against an everchanging and undulat-
mg wall of mountain blue.

It is just here that the key is found to the peculiar geological forma-
tions of lower i\'ew Hrunswic k.

From Chamcook Mountains at St. Andrews to a point beyond St.
John extenil the rugged walls of what geologist^ assure us is a spur of
the .Alleghany Mountains, of distinctly volcanic character, ctmiposed of
trap rock, with feldspar, basalt, porphyry, greenstone trap and the like,
whose jjractical value is demonstrated in the numerous granite and
gypsum <|uarries. A glance at the map shows this same marked north-
easterly trend in all the maritime ranges, — the <:liffs of Manan, North
and South Mountains, and Cobequid's range in Nova Scotia, the grand
hills of Cape Breton, and the Northern New Hrunswick mountains as
well, that end so strikingly at Bay Chaleur.

The variety of color along the entire shore of Fundy is particularly
noticeable, al)ounding in deep reds contrasted with purplish grays, with
here and there a splash of white, where the veins of gypsum crop out.
After passing Point Lepreaux and its banded lighthouse, flanked by
Mace's Bay and Dipper Harbor, comes the first intimation of our
approach to St. John, when Partridge Island, which guards the harbor,
stands out from the ha/y distance, almost immediately followed by the
clustering houses of Carleton, with the ancient martello tower high above
it, relieved against the sky ; the long gray wall of the breakwater extend-
ing far out from the shore ; and finally, the picturesque beacon in mid-
harbor gleaming white before the city walls. Every one must be struck
by the extremely effective grouping of the city of St. John, its Gothic
spires clustered on the hilltop, and solid commercial buildings sloping
toward the water, where a perfect forest of shipping is gathered from
every corner of the earth ; the mystery is, how so many vessels can be
accommodated in so small a harbor.

THE RIVER VOYAGE -FREnERICTON-
(iRAND KAI.I.S- UPPER RIVER.

F New Brunswick, the first city, of Canadian shipown-
ing cities also the first, with a population of some
fifty thousand, and a history dating from the early
seventeenth century, St. John is not distinctively
English or, intleed, Canadian, in its characteristics
or outward ai)pearance. It is even denominated the
American city, in contrast with Halifax, which is quite English ; but for
all that, the visitor from " the States " finds much that i;. new to him in
the minor details of life, perhaps nowhere so markedly as in the uni-
versal courtesy of its people, of whatever class, and the good quality of the
language one hears everywhere, not alone here, but throughout English-
speaking Canada.

There are a great number of hotels in St. John, — a fact which is true
of nearly all Provincial cities. There are also among them some very
comfortable ones.

Your " Appleton " or "Ticknor ' will direct you, first of all, very
properly, to see tho falls and graceful suspension bridge, which are the
great " show pieces" of the town. St. John can boast of at least one
novelty without duplicate, — the "reversible fall," as it has been happily
called, — a phenomenon for which the Fundy tides are responsible.
Novel, indeed, it is to behold a vast torrent of water flowing through a

r flowing through a

narrow, rocky passage toward the sea ; halt an hour later a i)lacid stream
upon which laden vessels come and go ; yet another half-hour tiie same
turbulent waters again, but rushing in the opposite direction ! Wonder-
fully fascinating is this tidal freak, as the writer can testify after having
spent a half-day studying its moods and caprices. Here, in the winter of
1S93, was witnessed one of those tragedies more dramatic than fiction.
The ferryman, who for years had safely piloted human freight, who half
a score of times risked his own life to rescue othci,^ from this treacherous
maelstrom, in sleet and storm himself was swept heljjlessly into eternity.
From the banks of the river on the Carleton siile, near the bridge,
and a hundred feet and more in air, is obtained a striking and effective
view of the distant city, the scores of lumber mills and yards that line
the river just here, and mid-stream the island where that plucky bit of
femininity, Madame La Tour, held the fort of her lord against the

assaulting forces of D'Aulnay. Those were stormy times, indeed ! when
feudalism, transplanted to the wilds of the New World, mingled with the
savage strife of the red man, St. John's architecture is well worthy of
attention, notably the fine residential portion about King's Square, and
the new banks of New Brunswick and Montreal, City Hall and Custom
House, the latter, with fully a third of the city, built since the great fire

of 1877.

The English Church service is finely rendered in several churches,
especially so at beautiful Trinity, while the chanting at the " Old Stone
Church " at head of Germain Street is quite exceptional. The

•at'itdPtfTt'

'#^

many hills about the city afford fine vantage points for views. From
Fort Howe on Portland Heights is altogether the most striking one, the
harbor and city, the grand expanse of Fundy, as well as the charming
landscape lying back of the ridge. From the ancient martello .ower in
Carleton also a glorious view is unfolded of the bay, the coast east and
west, as also the environs of St. John.

The business interests centre around the shipping, as one might
imagine ; lumber in vast quantities from the river country northward is
exported, lime is also an important item when trade relations are favora-
ble with the States. Naturally this is a trade centre for all Central and
Southern New Brunswick, and the types of lumberman, Indian, farmer,
or fisherman that one often meets are striking and picturesque to a degree.

Of course no one would think of leaving St. John without first taking
the charming steamer trip to Fredericton up the river, nor any less the

trossach-like waters of Kennebecasis River. When one does leave, there
is always the choice of following the Intercolonial Railway to the eastern
Provinces, Prince Edward or Cape Breton Islands, or of crossing the
bay to the land of Evangeline, Annapolis Valley, and Halifax by the Bay
of Fundy Line.

RIVER ST. JOHN.

While very charming and soothing in its pastoral meanderings, it is
a trifle far fetched to call this stream the "Rhine of America." To say
that a river has an individuality and charm all its own is the greatest
praise one can bestow. It seems that this can be said very truthfully, in
that the St. John cannot be compared to any other. If the valley of the
Annapolis is the "garden of Nova Scotia," then is this also the garden of
New Brunswick, and a very large garden at that.

Leaving the quaint landing at Indiantown, just above the bridge and
falls, the comfortable steamers of the Star Line push out and against a
strong tide, under the towering cliffs that flank the narrow passage, past
the gray lime-kilns and lumber mills that cling to their sides, sharply
rounding a jutting ledge, then turning again till her course lies about
northwest. Nature has been very accommodating to her dependents
hereabouts, where the waste from the sawmill can be immediately utilized
in heating the kiln, the kiln in turn receive its raw material from the
gypsum cliffs overshadowing it, and immediately transfer the finished
product to the hold of the schooner which lies alongside, and is swept
out by the tide to an open sea and the ports of the world.

Having shaped our course northwest, and left behind the narrow
gateway to the Grand Bay, which opens here, and leads the delighted
eye for ten miles over its smiling surface, to rolling hills and fair farms,
which line the banks here on either side. On the immediate right-
hand shore, standing defiantly at the entrance to Kennebecasis Bay, is
Boar's Head, its bristly summit justifying ivs name. Geologists explain
that the river in prehistoric times founa the sea by two channels,
one through the South Bay over on our left, the other, via Kennebecasis'
loveb' reach and the valley between St. John City and Portland's Heights.
The last-mentioned bay, as described elsewhere, is in picturesque charms
fully up to the promise it gives as seen from the steamer's deck.

The river craft encountered on this tidal lake upon which we are
sailing is entertaining and even amusing to a great degree, for it is not
uncommon to meet or pass here a half-dozen or more schooners of
varied model and rig, some in tow and some under sail ; old relics in
the way of steamers wheezily tugging long rafts of logs from the upper
river, with now and then a hay barge lazily sauntering down with the
tide, and half a score of tugs and pleasure craft that are always in
attendance upon such a nautical assembly as we have mentioned.

The Star Line thoughtfully issues a very good outline map of the
river from its mouth to Fredericton. With this in hand one can locate
every detail of the picturesque trip. The names are more interesting
and surprising than those of a directory. The every-day names of the
farmers or early settlers are offset by the wild Indian nomenclature,
furnishing such morsels for ihe tongue as Washademoak, Musquash,
Nashwaak, Otnabog, and others.

We find on our map as souvenirs of a former visit to Fredericton and
the voyage thereto many shorthand notes and hieroglyphics which we
venture to interpret for the reader. At the head of the Grand Bay is
a most attractive little hotel and cluster of cottages, known as Belyea's,

miitimimmmtSmM

iti

a resort of many St. John people, and, we are told, a very comfortable
nook for a summer rest. It is just here the river makes another turn
and a great sweep directly northeast, revealing the "Long Reach," with
its new variety of scene, bold hills and golden marshes alternatin;,'. The
tiny white lighthouse at lielyea's places itself, with almost conscious
effect, very sketchably in front of the noble " Devil's Back, ' though why
the devil got his back up so high as four hunilred and fifty feet is not
explained ! That dark person is resjionsible for some very striking scenic
effects, here as elsewhere.

The eight landings between Kelyea's and Sterret's are not all landings
so it would ap|)ear, for the interesting method of leaving mails or passen-
gers obviates that formality ; here, the signal from steamer calls from
the shore a wherry or rowboat, which draws uj) by the slowing steamer, a
folding pair of steps is dropped, the transfer is made, and we are on our
way in a moment. This is only one of many primitive and quaint
customs met with all the way of the journey. Cireenwich Hill or Pitts'
Landing is another spot to lure a saunterer. Oak Point, with its "grassy
island " floating on the full stream, is cjuite characteristic of the river.
The " Mistake " is best explained by the pilot who has sailed three
miles behind its marshy point only to retrace his course again. The
glimpses both fore and aft, at this point, are es|>ecially pleasing, not to
say beautiful. The course now changes to north, the river narrowing
and growing more and more tortuous, threading its way among islands,
and bouniled continuously by the most exquisite hill slopes, whose
generous sides are spread with fertile fields of vari-colored produce, the
fruit of the hajjpy farmers who are so fortunate as to possess them. The
landscape is decidedly English in flavor, and i)erhaps justifies the
enthusiastic native in his highly colored comparisons.

Long Island, just above, is ty|)ical of all the islands in the river, a
broad intervale, with here and there a gray barn for its crops, and many

by the game bags that come out of it in the fall. After tying a few

touches, and ties up at this lethargic spot, where there is

Oppositf is (Irimross Island, the mouth of Grand Lake, which stretches
away northward for forty miles, and the site of ancient Jemseg. Here,
in 1640, the French pioneers built their fort, which the English, of
course, captureil a little later, andtossed back again in 1670. Under
Villel)on it became a consideraljle settlement, the capitrl, indeed, of
Acadia ; a few irregular mounds, only, now remain to keej) alive its
ancient name.

The character of the land here is like all that lies above for thirty
miles, — flat, productive, and rather uninteresting from a scenic point of
view, after the variety and contrast of the lower river. Passing Sheflield,
Maugerville, Oromocto, and Oromocto River, whose upper waters
abound in trout, the lower in pickerel, the land of logs is reached, and
" Glaziers," where rafts are composed from the great booms on every
hand, and towed down stream. Here one sees the long- pointed bayous
or "dug-outs," of the lumbermen, the raft huts and curious stern-
wheelers of the upper river, and catches refreshing sniffs of the odor
from new lumber, that leaves a narrow passage only for the steamer as it
threads its way and brings into view the spires of lovely Fredericton.

■1.

FREDERICTON.

It is doubtful if in all the Provinces there is a more delightful town
than Fredericton, — city, we should say. The impression first received is
abundantly confirmed by closer acquaintance. Its streets are beautiftiUy
laid out, shaded generously by the American elms that grow so prodi-
gally all through the valley, its public, educational, and ecclesiastical
buildings are numerous and especially handsome. Its hotels are well-
nigh perfect ; and a charming environment ot natural beauty combined
with numerous avenues of access and egress make it in all ways goodly
to look upon.

It is the centre of a vast farming country, the distributing point for
great lumber tracts, the centre of numerous rail lines, a noted cotton
manufacturing town, and the seat of Provincial government, as well as
normal school, university, and militia. The social atmosphere is naturally
of a high order, and a generally progressiva idea seems to pervade the
residents. **

Points of especial note are the New Brunswick University, crowning
the hill west of the town, and commanding a matchless panorama of
river scenery for miles in three directions; the village of Gibson, a
model manufacturing community, founded and supported by the sagacity

little settlement of Mulecile Indians at St. Mary's. The frequent
reveilles and bugle calls from the barracks on the public sipwre give a
touch of militarism that is (|uite in keei)ing with the (juaint surroundings.
The beautiful little Anglican cathedral is a model of (;othi(; archi-
tecture, antl every one expresses surprise at the abundance of tine build-
ings generally. The piscatorially inclined will fnnl here a good outfitter
and rod maker, and across the river the veteran canoe builder, Jim
Paul, known through all the Province.

The tourist here makes choice of returning to St. John by rail, of
continuing on by the curious " stern-wheelers " (if it be high water) to
Woodstock, of branching off by rail along the wilds of the Miramichi to
Newcasde, there meeting the Intercolonial Line, or of continuing north
by rail to Woodstock, the regions of wild Tobiipie, mentioned elsewhere,
or the sublime scenery of Clrand Falls and the upper St. John. The
scenery along the upper river is varied by many rugged jjeaks and wooded
hills, attaining its greatest novelty at the mouth of the Pokiok River, the
outlet of Lake St. George, where a wild cascade comes tearing through
rocky walls for several hundred feet. At Canterbury is the portage to
Chiputneticook lakes and the St. Croix, at Kent a portage to Miramichi's
waters, and at Andover the headquarters for canoeists about to take the
Tobique trip.

GRAND FALLS.

The concentration of grandeurs and picturesqueness is most em-
phatically here, where all the pent-up aggregations of a thousand wild
streams leap through strong walls to dash in a great cloud of spray on the
bowlders below. It is a spectacle worthy of the noble river St. John,
worthy of the journey hither to witness, worthy of a more facile pen than
ours to describe. The fall is a perpendicular one of seventy-three feet,
and is set in a landscape of peculiar effectiveness, dull rocks and deep
evergreens everywhere making a contrast to its flashing lights. The
gorge below, through which the river rushes in ceaseless turmoil, is
marked by many curious evidences of the torrent's power, — the
" Coffee Mill " beside the channel grinding eternally, the " Wells," worn
drill-like into the ledge, and finally, the huge basin at the lower end
receiving the troubled waters into its placid depths.

The little village of Grand Falls is a study in itself; the quaint hotel,

The reader may be reminded that abo\e and westward the waters of
St. John reach their octojiusdike arms for two hundred miles and more,
interlaiing with those of l'enol)scot, Kennei)ec, and the lakes of .Nfaiiii-'s
wilderness; that not so very far away the head waters of famous
Restigouche almost intermingle witii its own, and the Lake Madawaska
emjities its full cii|) into the gathering currents. To Iiim who has tired
of the unrealities of the urban life, these invitations of the woods and
stream that speak on every hand come like a revelation of a purer life ;
let him take to his bircii an<l grasp tiie yielding jjaddle.

HK Hterature of the piscatorial art, from Walton
down, is exceedingly good reading. Iviually
true is it, tiiat the ways of the fisherman are
" ways of jiieasantness, and all his jiatlis are
])eace." Pisces leads him through nature's
choicest jiaths and byways, close to nature's
heart. Tiie writer makes some huml)lj; preten-
sions as a disciple of Walton, so it \%Qoii anion-
that he speaks of some of the more nimous trout and salmon streams of
New Hrunswick and Quebec, reached by the International Line and its
connections. Of course it is well known that New Brunswick contains
some of the finest fishing of Eastern America.

Beginning with the St. John and tributaries, the Canadian Pacific
Railway from St. John reaches the great bend of the river above (Irand

THE TOBIQUE

River, penetrated lor fifteen miles by a branch railway, has certain ele-
ments of the granil and pictiiresiiue not possessed by any other I'rovin-
cial stream. It runs throiij;h a mountain group of astonishing grandeur,
a portion or connection of the Alleghany system ; they seemingly assert
their relationship by appearing in abru[)t and striking forms. 'I'he Mine

Some twenty miles below Perth, at the little station of Kent, one
can secure guides, and in fifteen miles of driving reach the tributaries of
the Miramichi, where some of the best salmon fishing of the Province
may be enjoyed. The Southwest, Northwest, Little Southwest, and
Savogle branches are all good. The fish are not large but exceedingly
gamy. These streams are said, by Mr. Philip Cox of Newcastle, N. B.,to
be early, fish entering them last of May and continuing till late Septem-
ber. Eighteen thousand seven hundred salmon were taken from these
streams in one year, and that within five years. Fishing privileges on
these streams are mostly held by the owners of the lands. 'I'he Nash-

waak River, entering St. John just above Fredericton, contains some
fish, hut is scarcely to be ratetl as a first-class stream, although any of
its small tributaries are good trout waters.

Coming down to civilization, many small streams west of St. John,
along the Shore Line, are well stocked with trout running up to four
and \]vii poimds weight. The same may be said of the brooks entering
Kennebccasis Bay, easterly from St. John. Two streams, the Upper
.Salmon and Big Salmon, on the Fundy shore between St. John and
^[oncton, furnish moderately good salmon fishing, considering their
nearness to large cities.

MIRAMICHI.

Following the Intercolonial Railway, which is the great /is/i line of
Canada, the next river of importance is the famous Miramichi, which is
crossed at Newcastle. This remarkable stream is said to have over a
hundred tributaries, which would certainly seem reasonable on studying

its appearance on the
map. 'I'his river lias
l)een a great salmon
water in its day, and is
still so, though laws for
its protection imtil re-
cently have been poorly
enforced. The govern-
ment is doing much
toward restocking it,
and it is possible to
make it what it once
was in course of time.
At Red Bank, less than twelve miles from Newcastle, and at Big Hole
and Dennis's pools, which are free fishing, there is fine sport, grilse may
be taken in almost any of the smaller tributaries, and sea trout are plenty
in most of the streams entering Miramichi or Kouchibouguac Bays, east
of Newcastle. Shipping can penetrate nearly fifty miles inland, by the
Miramichi, and c inoes for two hundred or more.

stitions. I'.athurst itself is a most inviting looking town, and has one
hotel, at least, that may well claim to be a summer resort, ha\ing a
charming situation on the very edge of the bay. The Ncpisiguit River
finds the sea here, another good salmon stream, but better salt-water
trouting, its estuary alive with them early in the season. .About the
middle of May great numbers are taken, weighing from six pounds
downward. This is true of the Tabucintac and Tracadie Rivers, a few
miles south. But for sport with the gun commend me to this place
indeed ! for did not the writer see the harbor black with geese, and the
delicious blue-wingetl duck, one stinging October morning? American
sportsmen come here for moose and caribou, as well as the smaller game.

The Jar([uet River, at station of that name, is just above Hathurst,
ranks as a wonderfully good sea-trout stream, and furnishes very good
small salmon or grilse fishing. For pure gaminess, the sea-trout, when
caught with the fly in these rapid waters, is closely akin to the salmon,
showing splendid fighting (I'lalities and immense activity.

The Millers at Sunnyside are good guides and canoeists, and will
mdicate to the sportsman such holes as are free on the river, from Big
Hole Brook down the twelve miles to Barclay's, where is foimd a cozv
seashore hotel. The scenery along this stream is wild and romantic.

Charlo River, a few miles ferther north, is another sea-trout and
brook-trout stream, the fcjrmer of five-pound weight antl under, the latter
from four pounds down to one-half pound. In fact, nearly any of the
small rivers flowing into Bay of Chaleurs are good fishing from May until
September.

DALHOUSIE.

.A short spui of the railway at Dalhousie Junction leads to the great
watering place, 1 )alhousie, and the large siunmer hotel. Inch Arran.
Fine bathing is enjoyed here, magnificent views across to the (,)ue'\.c
shore, the glorious mountains of Bonaventure, and out over the hn^ niful
Chaleurs (that bewitching expanse) the towering cliffs of Tracadiegash
at (Jaspt^. Steamer trips are made to the bit of France out yonder,
where all the quaint customs and dress of the Breton fishermen are
retained, to a large degree.

The Indian name for this bay is Ecketuam Xeniaache, meaning " a
sea of fish " ; exceedingly ai)roi)os it is, too. Dalhousie is practically at
the mouth or estuary of the famed Restigouche. At Campbellton, a kw
miles above, and, in fact, all the way along the rail route is ha<l an inspir-

uv view of ihc waters, an almost i)riineval mountain forest Iving hevond,
the little settlement of Indian Point sleeping at their feet, near the historic
ruins of i'etite Rochelle.

The Intercolonial have chosen this view, (jiiite wisely, as tlie subject
for a picture, whose reproduction has recently been accomplished. The
same good taste selected the (juite ideal " meeting of the waters ' just
above for a similar jjurjiose.

THE RESTIGOUCHE.

^Ve could scarcely do better than to take bodily Mr. Kilby Reynolds's
descriptioriof this king of salmon streams and reprint it here, containing,
as it does, so much of fact and suggestion ; we shall beg his in lulgence
for a little " cribbing." Briefly stated, this river is two hundred miles
long, draining with its tnl)utaries more than two thousand square miles, a
land of mountain and vale, ])rimeval forest and smiling meadow ; flowing
from silent spring lakes and leaping cascades, jjursuing a tortuous course,
full of " runs " and torrents, to wander with silent content out into the
"reen leagues of Chaleur. Its swift currents are lashed by a tliousand
tiiousand leaping trout, its silvery bed mottled by the silent shadows of
lusty salmon.

There are many conflicting interpretations of this Indian name, one
with imaginative taste making it " Five-fingered River," approi)riately ;
another, quite jjositively, quoting ol 1 missionary chronicles, " River of
the Long War." Whatever it means, it is a noble streams, and the
ecstasy of a true sportsman.

Regarding its fishing, nearly all the best pools are held by lessees,
l)rinci]>ally the Restigouche Salmon Club and a few other American
gentlemen. The river is not leased above Quatawamkedgwick, as these
upper waters are not especially good fisliing. Proper letters of introduc-
tion will secure the privilege of casting on most any of the large pools.
Salmon of fifty pounds weight are often taken, the average usually run-
ning from twenty-two to twenty-four pounds. In the numerous lakes
near Campbellton " plain fishing" may be had any time, trout of a half-
pound to four pounds l)eing abundant. Large and small game for the
gunner are everywhere hereabouts, l)oth lond and water.

From Metapedia to Newjiort on the north shore of the bay are a
half-dozen superb salmon streams, the Grand Cascapedia being the best,
yielding fish u]> to fifty-six pounds ; and farther over, the York near
Gaspe. whose fish run from fifteen to forty-five pounds weight. Splendid

In New Brunswick no license is re(iuired of non-residents ; but in
(Quebec this is required, and can be obtained of the fish commissioner.

The regions about the liead waters of tiie streams we have mentioned,
as also the forests of Cumberland, Colchester. Halifax, and Ciuysborough.
Nova .Scotia, or Victoria and Inverness in i'ix\)c iireton,are noted moose
and caribou grounds, and with i)roper guides will not disappoint tlie
gunner. The close season on these is, Nova Scotia, Febniary i to Sep-
temlier 15 ; New Brunswick, February 15 to August ,^i, on deer as well ;
in (^)iiebec, February i to Sejjtember i, and of deer, January i to
October i. No one jjerson is allowed to take more than two moose
and four caribou in any one year or season. The flesh is to be carried
out of the woods within ten days after killing, and game killed during
the latter part of January shall be carried out during the first five days
of February. The penalty for the violation of these provisions is from
530 to $50, and a fine of $25 is imposed for hunting with dogs. Wood-
cock must not be killed before sunrise or after simset. Blue-winged
duck must not be taken between the first days of April and August.
The annual licenses for non-residents expire on the ist of .August.
They cost $^0 each.

There are, also, other details regarding rpiantity, manner of killing,
dressing, etc., which the interested can find from the Intercolonial and
Windsor and Annapolis Railway guides, or the government i)ublications.
New Brunswick is doing much of late to enforce her laws on seining and
spearing, as well as restocking her streams, but Nova Scotia needs a
vigorous stirring up on this question. At present there are in the latter
Province but one or two really good salmon streams, while there are
very many good trout and sea-trout streams along her coast line.

KENNEBECASIS.

'{"he track follows the supposed former bed of the St. Jolin for
two or three miles, when it skirts the shores of lovely Kennehecasis.
There is somethint{ bewitching about this name, and the waters them-
selves are none the less so, retaining as they do the wiklness of their
primitive state to a great degree. The stations, like the scenery, are
suggestive of the Scotch Highlands, for there is Torryburn and Rothesay,
and a few miles south the fair waters of Loch l.omond.

For upwards of twenty miles liie rail clings closely to the shore of
KeiMiebecasis, the simnner homes of St. John's best i)eople lining the
route almost continuously. .\t Rothesay is the Rothesay Hall, a very
comfortable summer hotel, and the best point from which to enjoy or
explore the bay and triljutaries. Nearly o])posite, across the water, lies
the charming village of Clifton, in every way fitteil to the lovely setting
of landscajjc provided for it.

Beyond Hampton the bay narrows to a stream, and the stream,
meandering among lovely meadows and confining hills, is in turn lost in
little brooks that here and there send out a gleam of silver, then follow a
few miles of hojjelessly barren and unattractive country, redeemed later
by the quaint French settlements that line the Anagance River, leaving
their impress on nomenclature as well as landscape.

Very cm-ious and entertaining is the study of the time tables along
these Canadian railways. Indian, French, and Scotch names blend in
a gooil-natured medley, and indicate the character of the early settlers,
if notiiing more. In many instances the result is a blending of French-
Indian, as in Feticodiac or Petitcodiac, It is also very interesting to
r.j*e how the early settlers have influenced the contours and general
aspect of the country they have settled ; this is most notably true in

greet the ears and lead to Salisbury, where detours can be made to the
famous tlshing grounds of Toilet or ("anaan Rivers, and on to the great
railway town of New llrunswick, the < entre of the Intercolonial system
of railways, and a thriving progressive city of more than ten thousand
souls.

It may not be considered a compliment by a .Monctonian, but to an
American the city is perhaps more like those of his own country than
almost any he will find in Canada. Its rapid growth in a few years, from
a provincial hamlet to the hustling city of the jiresent time, is also
suggestive of the .\nierican idea. The fine and imposing office bnililing
of the Intercolonial is at the left of the station on entering from the west.
The great sjiectacle of Monkton is its "bore," a most astonishing effect
of the I'undy tides, which come tearing uj) the Fetitcodiac River bed in
an impetuous wall of water from four to eight feet in height ; this is truly
worthy of a stop for the express purpose of witnessing, and adds one more
to the already numerous phenomena of Fundy.

Moncton is also the great distributing point for tourists, northward,
eastward, and southwaril : northward to the great fishing streams, the
Bay of Chaleur, the St. Lawrence and Quebec, which have been
mentioned elsewhere ; eastward to the I'rince Kdward Island ; south-
ward to Nova Scotia and the noble Island of Cape Breton. We shall
endeavor to suggest briefly to the reader a few of the allurements of all
the latter sections in the following pages.

nearly insuperable barrier that separates these two points
in winter, in the form of ice-floes that shut off communi-
cation almost completely. At times the only means of
conveyance is by open boats from Cape Tormentine,
N. P., to Cape Traverse on the island, which are pushed
through or dragged over the floating ice cakes at great
peril. It is not unnatural, then, that the Island Province
siiould have its separate existence and legislature, the

smallest of the confederation. This tight little island, liie "Carden of
Canada " it is called, is thirty-four miles liy one hundred ;\nd fifty, and it
would seem that not a foot of its area was un]>rodu(tive, for it has no
lofty hills, no rocks, and little forest, with a rich red loam that resjionds
generously to the hand of the c ultivator.

It is evident why the natives should he dubbed " Redfeet." but not
as explainable that New-Brnnswickers are called " I'.uckwheats." or
Nova-Scotians " Bluenoses.' but they have all ai < epled their nicknames
philosophically as becomes the true Canadian.

'l"he island has evidently been appreciated from the fust, for it has
suffered an almost ceaseless disjnite over the land ([uestion for nearly a
century. Discovered by Cabot, who named it St. John, the English
ftxiling to take possession, it was claimed by the l-Yench in 1523, who
established fisheries. The treaty of I'oiUainebleau gave the island to
(ireat l>ritain, who gave it its jjiesent name. 'I'he two millions or more
acres were divitled into sixty-six lots and awarded to as m.ui)- grantees ;
the usual difficulties between a local government and a king's governor
followed, resulting in a drawn battle. 'J'he jjurchase by colonial govern-
ment and redistribution of lands under dispute only partially solved the
])rol)lem. which now seems decided l)y the conditions required since the
island joined the confederation. .Since the union with the Provinces in
1873, and the building of a railroad through the island, prosperity seems
to have grown ai)ace.

Of course, agriculture is the one great industry, its products exi)orted
to the amount of over a million dollars ; its fisheries next, with an export
of nearly a half-million dollars value. A stay of however short duration
reveals the (iict that the " Redfeet " have garden i)rcHlucts in quantity
and quality unexcelled anywhere. Oysters, also, of a peculiarly delicate
flavor, are raked from the shores of many bays, having a reputation all
over Canada. ' ,

SUMMERSIDE.

As the steamer approaches the island, the first land sighted is the
headland of Cai)e Egmont, in the far north, after wliich the course leads
into Bedeque Bay and the busy shipbuilding town of Summerside. In
this harbor lies a picturescjue little island at the mouth of the Dunk
River, which has been for several years ([uite a resort, with its hotel and
woodsy roads. Prince Edward Island is but three miles wide just here,
the bay of Richmond penetrating to that point on the other side. A
little trip by rail to Tignish will reveal the quaint settlements inland and
alongshore of Scotch and Irish origin, and the pastoral beauties so char-
acteristic of the whole island.

sea-trout fisliing water, and nearly every day to Rocky Point. All ol
these trips reveal singular beauty of land and water-scajie. The hills,
though not high or abrupt, arc gently undulating, and fresh with the
colors of thrifty farm jiroduction, slope gently to the shores, where often-
times the eye is eaught by glorious i)al(hes of the bright orange and red
of the red sandstone, ami rises abruptly in jjlaces to a height of fifty or
seventy-five feet.

C'harlottetown's i)osition at the head of a great bay ami at the junc lion
of three considerable rivers gives it a great advantage as a reiort, and its
hotels in two or three instances are such as to encourage a jirotracted

stay.

RUSTICO,

a town on the north shore, is a most delightful little resort, with good
l)athing and boating, and if jiossible better fishing along the Hunter
River. The eastern section from Douglas to Souris is composed largely
of (".aelic settlements, where the names, the customs, and all the little
details in life are thoroughly iirimitive and enjoyable. At St. Peter's
some good salmon or sea-trout fishing may be enjoyetl,and in f;ict nearly
all the rivers along the coast line are noted for their good fishing.

The hospitality of the " Redfoot " is proverbial. .\ journey across
country on foot, or a i)addle up any of the numerous canoeable streams,
with rod or gun, will bring one in touch with the warm hearts and sim-
ple manners of the Scotch settlers, as well as the haunts of feathered
game that inh.abit the island generally. The western end of the island
is the favored locality for the gunner, Cascumpeque Harl)or in particular
should be mentioned.

'I'he possibilities for a roundabout route, taking in other attractions
upon the return, are great. For one may, instead of retracing the route
via Summerside and Point du Chene, leave the island at Charlottetown,
crossing by steamer to Pictou on the Nova Scotia shore of the mainland.
We are now upon the true peninsula of Nova Scotia, in reaching which,
without the tour of Prince Edward Island, the route is from Moncton —
the junction point to which we first came from St. John — by rail of the
Intercolonial through Painsec Junction, where the detour was made to
Point du Chene, the point of embarkation for the island.

'J'ruro is the junction point for Halifax, needless to name as the
metropolis of Nova Scotia. Here the main line of the railway tips
sharply down to the Atlantic, while the Pictou branch turns in the opi)o-
site direction to find us just landed from the Prince Edward Island
boat, or steaming down over the intervening eleven miles from Pictou
Wharf to meet the train from Moncton, and through Moncton, St. John,
at New ("ilasgow. 61

To reacli Nova Scutiii and Ca])e Breton l)y rail one leaves Moncton
by the Intercolonial, passes through I'ainsec Junction, and then is carried
with a swirl southward along the Memranicook and out on the great
marshes of the same name. It is not too much to declare this marsh
land the most impressive on Canadian territory, if not on the continent.
Near Memranicook station and frou) tiience to Dorchester it reaches
its full grandeur, the broad antl simple planes, broken here and there by
the tidal river, or the clustering haystacks, and beyond the (|uite
European stctlement of St. Joseph's College, on a low hill dominating
the picture.

At Dorchester, Shei)ody 15ay is encountered, the upper extremity of
Chignecto Channel, an arm of Fundy. It is here antl also at Amherst,
a few miles farther beyond, that the tides ])ile themselves to such tre-
mendous heights, sixty feet being the maximum ; here also the Petitcodiac
and Memranicook waters meet. I )orchester is an attractive old town, is
possessed of much wealtii and stately homes, but at present seems to be
taking a somewhat lengthy na]) ; this is rather pleasing than otherwise,
however, to a tourist. Sackville possesses what is lacking in Dorchester,
— much push and activity, less attractiveness and (luaintness; shipbuild-
ing is the all-absorbing occupation, the ring of the mallet re-echoing
from the hillsides all along the north shore of Cumberland Basin, which
lies to the southward.

From Sackville a branch railway runs across the fertile country of
Westmoreland County to Cape Tourmentine, on the Northumberland
Strait, the winter port of Prince Edward Island boats. From Sackville,
also, the train glides out on the great marshes of Tantramar, the Tinta-
manc of the Frencli, -ignifying " a hubbub," a name well illustrated at
the incoming or outgoing of the tide. This vast area is reclaimed by
dikes, anil at the head of the marsh is one of the greatest plover grounds
in Canada.

Fort ('nnil)i'rland, just lurf to dctVnd their claim. A little l)elow are
the remains of the opposing Fort Lawrence, hack of which stood the
Acadian settlement of Jiiitii/'iissiii. 'I'he tin\ stream still serves as the
hounilary of two provinces, and as we cross it we enter the land of the
" Hluunose," the storied soil of Acadia, and shortly after jiuU up at
Amherst station. .Amherst, aside from rich agricultural and mining
interests, is noticeable as the western terminal of the great Chigneito
Marine Railway that was to he, and whose interrupted works are i)asse(l
a mile or two before entering the town. From here also runs a funny
little mining railway to the Joggins, on Cumberland Flasin, the same of
Joggins raft fame, and even more notable to geologists for its rich fossil
remains along the cliffs that line the shore.

Evidences of coal mining are frequent about here, for this is the
renowned Cumberland coal district, one of the richest among Nova
Scotia's rich mining jjossessions. Of the nearly two million tons of coal
mineil annually in Nova Scotia, these mines contribute some half million,
or about one-fourth. Along the line, at numerous points, spurs of rail-
way runoff to mines in either direction ; while at Sjjring Hill Junction,
the Cumberland Railway runs across to Parrsborough and the Hasin of
Minas, into certainly one of the most romantic bits of country in all the
i'rovinces, indeed, we should name it among four or five sections as
espeenally worthy the traveller's attention. A further description of
Minas .vill be found, under the head of Noi'a Sco/ia, elsewhere.

At Oxford Junction again, another branch railway of the Intercolonial
runs out over the rich country of 'latamagouche and I'ictou, returning to
the main line at New Glasgow. From Wentworth the train begins a
long climb of several miles up the slope of the Cobequid Mountains,
that line the northern shore of the picturesciue bay of the same name.
The outlook, which has been monotonous and limited, now opens into
a landscape of irresistible beauty ; one of (iniet pastoral charm, as seen
from a high mountain ; stretching away for miles toward the strait, reach-
ing its climax with the enthusiasm of the beholder near F'olly Lake, a
little eye set in its ileep mountain socket six hundred feet above the sea.

From FoUeigh the locomotive and its followers enjoy a toboggan
coast for some ten miles out into the open country, overlooking the
extremest eastern waters of Fundy.

TRURO,

which is at the head of (■()be<iuid May, is a charming town ; large, pros-
perous, aristo< ratic looking, in fad, to Nova Scotia what Kredericton is
to New IJnmswick, the most attractive of its size. It possesses a remark-
ably pretty park and the most varied assortment of drives across moun-
tain or UKirsh. and needs, we must add, a i^ooi/ hold. It is here that
the lines diverge, running along the fertile valley and capricious waters
of Shubenacadie River, (Irand 1-ake, and lledford Masin to Halifax ;
or reaching out to that bree/.y isle of Cape llreton, wliither we ai-e
journeying.

NEW GLASGOW

is an intensely practical mining town, possessing many strong reminders
along its streets and lanes of its Gaelic founders. Their stamj) is upon
it as upon all the country from here eastward to Scatari Islanil. The
mines here and at Stellarton are extensive and valuable, and to those
who have never seen such, interesting and accessible.

ANTIGONISH.

From New Glasgow to .\ntigonish are stations whose names are
either Scotch or Indian, little towns among fertile fields or along marshy
streams j with now and then a glimpse across to the Antigonish Moun-
tains. We are in the suggestively named townships of Maxwelton and

Arrisaig.

Approaching the fair town of Antigonish, the striking twin towers
of the Scotch Cathedral of St. Ninian attract the eye and dominate the
scene, acting as a foil to the prevailing horizontal lines of the landscape.
We recall how grateful Warner found the sight of this town in his quest
of BaM-ck. The American elm grows plentifully here, combining with
other fair features to make it an alluring retreat for " the traveller who
desires nothing but unrestricted lotus-eating."

One of the leading products of Nova Scotia is gypsum, of which
Antigonish quarries, that honeycomb the great cliffs on George Bay a
few miles northward, yield a very large proportion. Some most remark-
able contrasts of color are seen in a drive or sail from Antigonish to
Cape St. George, the dazzling white cliffs of gypsum rising in places two
hundred feet above the turquoise-hued waters of the bay. It is here,
too. that a journey southward may be made into the forest wilds of cen-
tral Nova Scotia, with their herds of moose and deer ; a wilderness that

rtMchfs with tew intorr 'ptions from (liiyshoroii^h tMstcrly to Halifax
westerly. Still fartluT art- the primitive fishing hamlets that line tiic
irregular shores of the southern coast.

•About the only thing of interest between Antigonish and Mulgrave is
the 'I'rappist Monastery near 'I'racadie, at a station calleil Monastery, a
very ancient and peculiar institution, whose intent is evitlently to give
object lessons in farming and simple living. The close observer will
hardly fail to notice on tiie left a most pictures(|ne cluster of silvery gray
buildings, over which i)eeps the ijuite foreign-looking spire ami cross of
a chajjel. It is another ancient establishment, a nunnery, and a relic of
"Id Acadian days.

^^r^^^w^m^..^.

From this point on. the fre<iuent outcropping of brilliant white patches
of gypsum indicates the character of the soil, afforiling also enlivening
contrasts to the deep green of the forests on either hand. Beyond
HiUbor ail Boiiche the bristling head of Cape Porcupine looms up over
the wilderness, a glimpse of far-away (ieorge Bay is caught, then the
train swings sharply to the right and with applied brakes we glide down
into

MULGRAVE,

with the glorious Strait of Canso, across it the Ultima Thule ot our
travels and expectations, the fair island of Cape Breton. Canso. or
Canseau, is said to be the French derivation, as in so many instances
hereabouts, of the Indian word Kainsok, " steep blufls." The name is
apt, for on either hand the fine cliffs of Porcupine or Pirates' Cove drop
precipitately from an altitude of nearly five hundred feet into the strait,
holding between them the curious little Scottish settlement of McNair's
Cove. Along this great waterway moves a never-ending procession of

In approaching the island of Cape IJreton from this point, two main
avenue> are offend, one by the ferry of the Intercolonial to its railway
terminal at llawkeshury, just opposite Muigrave, (ontinuiuK directly
through the island to Sydney ; the other, by the steamers of the IJras
d'Or Navigation Company via St. I'eter's Canal anil the lakes to the
same pla( e. If the traveller wishes spee<l and comfort, the former route
is conunendeil ; if to realize to the full the marvellous beauty and variety
of the inland sea, then, by all odds, choose the latter. .\ combination
of the two is still better, taking steamer for Crantl Narrows via St.
Peter's, thence to Sydney, returning by steamer via liaddeck and Why-
cocomagh to the Narrows, thence back by rail to .Mulgrave.

IHE HRAS P'OR LAKES -SYDNEY- HISTORIC I.OUISHURG —
ISADDECK., AND THE GREAT NORTH WILDERNESS,

N leaving Miilgrave by Bras d'Or steamer, we steam down
the strait past the mysterious Pirates' Cove, i)ast the
expectant hamlet of Melford — for this is the spot where
"Terminal City" is supposed to have made a beginning.
While we are rounding Bear Head on the left, and
approaching tlie Lennox passage, it may be opjiortune to generalize a
little on this remarkable island of Cape Breton. Its history begins
practically with the Portuguese colony, which in the early fifteen hun-
dreds was established in the little bay of St. Peter's, then Port Toulouse,
and whose memory is kept alive only by the names that have come down
from them intact through the years of subsequent history. The sturdy
Bretons who succeeded them have left their imi)rint on every part of the
island, the name of which itself was given by them. The complicated
struggles for possession of this valued spot by French and English, realiz-
ing its importance as a strategic jjoint in North America, constitue ,one
of the most intensely interesting chapters in New World history.

At present the island is essentially a new Scotland, large portions of it
being inhabited by the (iaels, while a few settlements are almost wholly
French, as at Cheticamp on north shore and Isle Madame, which we are
now approaching, and between which and the mainland is Lennox Pass-
age. The tenacity with which the customs and traditions of the mother

the region especially marked.

Not less remarkable, however, is the physical aspect of Cape
Breton, a trifle over one hundred miles in length, nearly eighty in widtli,
and all but divided through the middle by the waters of the famous
Bras d'Or lakes, the division having been completed by the fine canal
of St. Peter's, making an exceeilingly attractive route for steamers
between St. Pierre Island, Newfoundland, and Halifax. These lakes
also form the natural boundary between very distinct and opposite land-
scape features, that of the northern l)eing mountainous and exceedingly
romantic, the southern low and comparatively uninteresting.

The mineral resources have recently been brought to our notice
through the great enterprise of the Dominion Coal Company, with
H. M. Whitney at it head.

Gypsum is also a staple and important product as well as a striking
feature in the landscape. Of the nearly ninety thousand inhabitants,
over ten thousand are engaged in fishing. We cannot but believe that
when Cape Breton becomes better known it will rank as one of the
great summer resorts of America. Increasing railroad and steamer
facilities are making this possible, while the unrivalled climate, uniciue
land and water-scape beauty, and unlimiteil opportunity for sport and
recreation make it more than probable.

By this time we are fairly within Lennox Passage, with evidences on
every hand of the French who inhabit Isle Madame, and cruise up and
down the shores in their Frenchy- looking schooners and fishing smacks.

BRAS DOR LAKES.

Passing through the great government canal of St. Peter's, the course
lies cjnong closely bordering shores and irregular coves and headlands
for some six or eijht miles. The large and quaint settlement of the
Micmac Indians is passed midway, its white Catholic Church standing
out as a landmark for some miles. It is on these islands on St. Anne's
day that the Indians hold a religious encampment, with ceremonials and
processions of a very unique kind, — a pilgrimage to keep alive the
faith among the faint-hearted.

A tiny white lighthouse at Cape George marks the entrance to St.
Peter's Inlet, or, in our case, the exit. Spread before the delighted
eyes are the flashing waters of the Great Bras d'Or. Nearly twenty
miles across, on the right, reaching its golden arm far into the island,
lies East Bay ; on the other hand, the island-studded waters of West

Bay ; the two making a salt inland sea of fifty miles in length, and some-
lliing like three hundred square miles area.

Directly ahead is the nohle hill of Henacadie, at its left the Strait
of Barras, or (Irand Narrows; over West Bay, Marble Mountain stands
majestically, while along the shores frecjuent gleaming plaster cliffs
accent the view, and green islands stand at anchor. A more jjeriect
sheet of water for canoeing or yachting could not be imagined, for
among its many virtues is that of a scarcely perceptible tide, six inches
being the maximum rise and fall. Salmon, cod, mackerel, lobsters,
oysters, smelt, and many other kinds of fish abound in their season ;
while water fowl fretiuent the coves and estuaries in great numbers.

.' I-

GRAND NARROWS.

The great iron bridge, nearly a mile in length, spanning Barras Strait,
carries the Intercolonial Railway, and connects Sydney and the interven-
ing towns with the outside world. At this point a little setUement has
sprung into existence, centred about the hotel and two or three stores.
The natural beauties of the place, its accessibility and central location
in relation to the whole Bras d'Or region, good boating and bathing as
well, are destined to make Grand Narrows one of the ^rs/ resorts ot
Cape Breton. The hotel is one of the best on the island, the views in
every direction full of variety and charm.

From this point one can make with comfort trips up, down, or across
the lake, by rail or boat. Northward are the noble lines of the Bad-

deck Mountains, eastward the sweeping iii)lanils of Honlarderie Island,
l)etween these and the l)ehoider the ever-varied and always beautiful
waters of the Little Bras d'Or.

We will leave the steamer here in jiursuance of our plan as suggestec',
and take to the rail again, following almost continually the shore from
(Irancl Narrows to Sydney. It is after leaving Shenacadie that the
glimpses of lake and mountain begin to arrest attention ; at Boisdale a
magnificent line of hills skirts the shore, and the grand outlines of I-ong
Islanil burst on the view, separated l)y a narrow channel from the main-
land. For several miles the eye will be held l)y a succession of entranc-
ing vistas, all the while surrounded with the luxuries of a modern railway
service.

Little Bras d'Or Lake is very remarkably connected with the Atlantic
by two narrow channels, between which lies Boularderie Island, the
southern or St. Andrew channel we have been following, and continue to
do so till after passing Long Island, when the rail turns southward, cross-
ing and skirting arms of the Sydney Harbor, finally entering the town of

great industry. The town is not especially notable, being on the \)w-
gressive stage, with every prosjject of a brilliant future. One or two of
the older streets are very quaint, and contain frecpient hints of the days
when the French were more numerous. .\ large and motlern hotel has
just been erected here, with the intent to satisfy tlie demands of the
constantly increasing tourist patronage.

This is the eastern terminal of the Intercolonial, and the most eastern
point to which any railway extends in America ; a coal railway runs
trains of a mixed character southward to the coal mines and to Louis-
burg. The Bras d'Or steamer line also has its terminal here.

Sydney's importance as a port may be judged by the fact that in one
year, that of 1892, over fourteen hundred vessels, mostly steamers,
entered and cleared, also that her export of coal amounted to over two
hundred thousand tons. Estimates of experts, based on former tests of
duration of seams, indicate that Sydney district has /wo billion tons of
available coal ! The seams vary from three to twelve feet in thickness,
and ninety to four hundred in width, extending in many instances far
out under the .Atlantic.

HISTORIC LOUISBURG.

To him who has a fondness for history or anticpes, to the American
especially, the annals of this fortress of the east must be particularly
fascinating. Of the twenty miles between Sydney and Louisburg little
can be said ; it is intensely uninteresting.

Over the portal of Gore Hall at Harvard College ^
is fixed a quaint wrought-iron cross, brought by the
colonial troops from Louisburg
as a trophy; in the grounds of
a well-known physician of Syd-
ney stands a curious cannon of
the swivel pattern, rescued from
the waters of Louisburg Harbor ;
so far as known these are all the
existing relics of the once-power-
ful stronghold.

Standing on the few remaining
earthworks at Louisburg, looking around on the grassy mounds that
indicate the oudines of the once massive walls, " curiosity is lost in won-
der, wonder gives way to reflection, and reflection leads straight to the
question, 'What do all these miles of earthworks mean?'" Drake, in

73 . -r.r"

his "taking of Kouisbiirg," gives a concise history of this remarkahlc
fortress, which is more than the space or intent of this httle volume
permits.

" In creating l-ouishurg the court of Versailles had far more extended
views than the building of a strong fortress to guard the gateway into
Canada would of itself imply." We read from Parkman's fascinating
pages of the ambitions and hopes of the French in .\nierica, of the
importance of (Quebec, that (jueenly city of the north, and the intended
relative jjosition Louisburg was to hold on the southern limits of .\cadia.
It was after the treaty of Utrecht, in 1713, that action began, and in
thirty years was created at an expense of nearly five millions (of present
money value) a fortress that was known as the Dunkirk of .America.

The taking of I.ouisburg by a raw army of recruits and vohuiteers ot
New luigland in 1 745 is one of the marvels of military history, a sur-
jtrise to the world, an everlasting memorial to the valor and pluck of
sturdy Capt. Pepperell and his New England yeomen.

BRAS DOR AGAIN.

If there is one tri)) to be named above another on the island, it is that
of the steamer from Sydney to Baddeck, Whycogomagh, or Ckand
Narrows via (Ireat Rras d'Or. Leaving Sydney at a comfortable hour in
the morning, the " Marion " crosses to the thriving rival town of North
Sydney, and then puts out to sea past the red cliffs of Cranberry Head,
with its great smoke-stacks and colliery elevators, the works of the Syd-
ney mines, and around the giant blocks and columns of Point Aconi.

Then the course lies southwest into the narrow portal of Great Bras
d'Or, jiast the sandy bar that all but closes the entrance, and up close
under the shadow of Kelley's Mountain, which here rises twelve hun-
dred feet above the cove bearing the same name.

There are many conjectures as to the origin of this " Jrm of Gold."
We prefer to accept it as an evidence of the imaginative (lualities of the
Breton settlers who gave the name ; its appropriateness is manifest to
him who for the first time looks upon the " greater arm." From the
entrance to the end of the channel near Baddeck, the waters seldom
exceed a mile in width, in one place less than a half-mile and are over-
looked by the wild summits of the Englishtown Mountains, and dotted
by many wooded isles. In two or three instances the stui^endous chalk
cliffs disclose themselves from their [forest surroundings, like marble
palaces in a primeval wilderness.

BADDECK.

At tile broadest portion of Little Bras d'Or Lake a l)ay nnis up into
the hills, at the entrance of which stands the finest residence on tiie
island, tlie summer home of Prof. liell, the inventor of the American
telephone ; on the other side, behind a forest-covered island and its
lighthouse, a straggling town with spires outlined against <lark hills ; it
is Baddeck, known to all well-read Americans through Charles Dudley
Warner's " Baddeck and that Sort of Thing."

To this out of the
way, jiriniitive, i)ictur-
escjue town have come a
few cultured .Americans,
who are forming a social
nucleus to which will be
aikled the choicest spirits
of the resort that is to
be. Perhaps not a great
and fashionable resort,
but such as will attract
and hold the lover of
Nature for her own sake.
The motto of this pio-
neer settlement seems
to be, "Once Baddeck,
always Baddeck."

The origin of this
odd name is the Indian
" Bedek," adapted by
French as Bedeque. The
town itself is not alluring,
but its environment may
be described in most ex-
travagant .v.rms. Within
easy distances are most
glorious mountain and
lake scenery ; a score of

mountain streams and rivers fill the air with singing and roaring, and
yield lusty trout and salmon. The famed Margaree River, first of
Nova Scotian salmon streams, lies twenty miles away ; St. Anne's Bay.
most beautiful of all on the island, but ten miles northeasterly ; and

tal.lelands of Victoria County, lovered with iniineval forests, over

which roam tnidisturbed great
herds of caribou. A drive along
this coast, or, better, a journey
afoot, depiudiiig on the warm and
homely hosjiitalily of tlie Ciaelic
settlers, reveals a mode of living
that for absolute primitiveness is
nowhere e(inalled on our continent.
Here are seen grinding of corn
by hand-stones, timber hewn in a
similar crude manner, or sawn by
mills, home made ; while from
every door comes the sound of
spinning-wheel or click of shuttle
in the family loom. Not less
interesting are the Micmac In-
dians, who pitch their wigwams on the hillside at Haddeck, their per-
manent settlements being at Indian Cove and at Kscasoni near drand
Narrows.

WHYCOCOMAGH.

Leaving Baddeck and following the steamer route through St. Pat-
rick's Channel and Little Narrows leads one to the western extremity of
the lake, and into the trossach scenery of the bay and town of Whyco-
comagh. If its name is a stumbling-block, let nothing else deter from
finding it out. It is a gem of purest quality, a bit of Scotland, it would
seem, imported with the hardy Scot as a reminder of his native bens
and lochs.

From here are reached the inland lake of Ainslie, and the trout
streams that flow from and into it ; more distant are the Gulf shore
towns and coal areas soon to be reached by rail of Fort Hood and
Mabou, and away up north in for Inverness County the French Acadian
fishing port of Cheticamp. It may not be amiss to add that in this
town, which the natives call " Hogomah " for brevity, is a comfortable
and attractive hotel, that provides all the game delicacies in their season.

Annapolis.

The above steamer lies at its wharf adjoining that of the Interna-
tional Company, thus obviating disagreeable transfers across town.

Many unpleasant things are said of Fundy's temper, but in its sum-

seasons when the elements combine with the tides to try men's souls;

The Acadian shore first reveals itself in little purplish mounds that
rest like cK .diets along the dim hori/on, then a long line of cliff-bound

DIGBY AND ANNAPOLIS BASIN.

l-'roiii Hryer Island, fifty miles southwest, to hoary Cape Hlomidon,
eighty miles northeasterly, stretches a mountain bulwark sheltering from
fog and tempest St. Mary's Bay, Annapolis Basin, the fruitful valleys of
Annapolis and Cornwallis, the broad acres of Grand Pr^, and the green
banks of the Avon.

M the foot of the basin little Digby sits in the sunshine and spreads
its ruddy beach along the tide, surrountled by towering hills, except
where well-tilied slopes give place. It is a quaint, homy town, old
colonial houses here and there, a cluster of gray and mossy fishing huts
nestling by the cove and guns that never roar on the bluffs that face the
pier. Two gooil and (]uiet houses entertain the traveller ; a half-dozen
picturesque roads lure him out into the country, and the railway leads
to far western Yarmouth town along the beautiful bay of St. Maiy's,
and out again in view of Fundy ; back of it, a little way only, stretch
illimitable forests, with silent lakes and all that live therein to attract the
rod or gun. The rail also skirts the bay if one chooses to go that way,
through Bear River Village, Pleasant Cove, and half a score of thrifty
hamlets to Annapolis.

Continuing by steamer, we pass Bear Island mid-basin, and up the
gradually narrowing bay lined with farms that teem with fruitfulness and
plenty, overlooked by the slopes of the North Mountains and the spires
of Granville's churches. .After twenty miles of delightful sailing we
approach the storied old town and huge fortifications of

ANNAPOLIS,

tile Port Royal of ye olden time, and the focal point around which
clusters more history than any town in this Acadian Valley into which
we are entering. Founded by Poutrincourt in 1604, to whom it was
granted, it was soon abandoned, to be resettled by the Jesuits later,
demolished by the English in 16 13, and again partially rebuilt by Bien-
court, who kept alive a fur-trading post till Acadia's restoration to the
French in 1632.

For a century and a half Port Royal was tossed back and forth
between the rival powers, till its final capture by the New England
colonists, after which it became Annapolis Royal and the English strong-
hold of Acadia. The discontented Acadians and Indian allies main-
tained a petty siege for forty years after, until that tragic but necessary
event which we have learned more generally from Longfellow's idyll than

from other sources, and which brought peace, to be broken only by tiiat
saucy and si)unky attack by Americans in 1781, who spiked the guns,
locked the villagers uj) in the block house, and proceeded to decorate
with vermilion whatever the town contained.

From tiie grassy ramparts which are seen on approaching the town
now are heard the mellow blast from browsing kine, whose rustic forms
replace the dismounted guns. The old block house but recently suc-
cumbed to the destroyer's hand ; the French magazine and ancient
barracks will doubtless follow them, unprotected as they are by a care-
less community.

The present .Annapolis invites the loiterer, with its shady streets and
quaint residences, its air of anticpiity and the indefinable sentiment that
always clings about such spots. The Dominion .Atlantic Railway
here extends to the landing, its trains waiting to speed the tourist into
Acadia's heart, the land of Evangeline, " The Tourists' Paradise," as its
dainty little guide-book calls it.

If a few days can be given to this fair region, a drive or climb over
North Mountain down to the rugged cliffs on the Fundy shore should be
taken, another through the marshes and orchards of Annapolis, for —

" Fair is I'ort Koyal River
In tile Acadian land ;
It flows through verdant meadows,
Widespread on either hand ";

and again along little Lequille River to the village of legendary fame ;
while to the fisherman and gunner no words can fitly tell the treasures
that lie along the wilderness road all the way to Liverpool and Port
Metway. Lakes, streams, virgin forest, all are there in primal condition.
The companion of the idle hour should be Miss McLeod's " Stories of
the Land of Evangeline," many of whose scenes are laid just here.

ANNAPOLIS VALLEY.

From Annapolis to Windsor is the trtte Evangeline land, " the land
flowing with milk and honey" ; in May a garden of apple-blossoms, in
October an orchard of ripening fruit, and always radiant in a climate fit
for the gods. One is carried in the luxurious cars of the " Flying Blue-
nose " express, drawn by " Basil," the blacksmith, or " Gabriel," the
lover, is disappointed not to see an Acadian peasant collecting fares,
instead of the gentlemanly conductor in regulation uniform, and looks,
as did Warner, for the signboard reading, " Look out for Evangeline
while the bell rings .' " How little our gentle poet knew what potent
advertising he was doing for railroad managers !

The beautiful marshes, bordered by solid masses of bronze-green
foliage, and varying with the ever-changing cloud shadows from gold to
purple, serve as a ground on which the tidal stream executes silvery
patterns for miles, until lost in thread-like rivulets among the hillr.

North Mountain always fills the background, its broad slopes covered
with an applique of patches of woodland green and tawny fields, with
now anil then a bit of winding road or gleaming farmhouse adding a
touch of light.

Bridgetown is the only considerable town en route to Kentville, and
looks for all the world like a smart American village, with its covered
bridge and Gothic spire. At Middleton the Nova Scotia Central Rail-

south shore, branches off for Lunenburg, IJridgewatcr, and the regions of
beauty in their vicinity, chiefest of which is Mahone Hay, with its mul-
titude of islands, silvery beaches, and rocky iieadlands.

Leaving Middleton, the river gra<lually dwindles, settlements become
fewer and smaller, then the Cornwallis begins, leading onward to Minas
Basin district, its dike lands and Acadian villages.

KENTVILLE, WOLFVILLE, GRAND PRE

The railway centre of the " Land of Kvangeline Route," as much also
the commercial centre of Kings County, the terminal o. the railway
running to Kingsport, the beautiful valley of the Canard River, and old
Blomidon's territory, convenient to the beautiful C.aspereaux Lakes and
the Blue Mountains just south, is Kentville.

More attractive, less commercial, pre-eminently scholastic, and
nearer the Grand Pr6 fields is VVolfville. It staniis on the edge of the
marsh, partly on a lovely hillside, which overlooks the Basin of Minas
and Blomidon on one side, the fairyland of the Gaspereaux on the other.
The handsome buildings of Acadia College and two or three prei)ara-
tory schools occupy the most commanding site in town, whose outlook
is a liberal education in itself.

Here one can wander at will over the fields reclaimed by the .Acadian
peasants, follow for miles the dikes that stay the tides in their mad
advance, and live under the spell that poesy has woven about these
waters : —

" A grievous stream, that to and fro
Athrough the fields of Acadie
Goes wandering, as if to know
Why one beloved tace should be
So long from home and Acadie."

Standing on the dikes at high tide, on one hand are glassy miles of
flood, on the other rippling fields of ripening harvests, or contented
herds which crop the rich sward, — a contrast unique and strange, whose
strangeness lessens not after many visits.

Three miles away is the dreamy hamlet of Grand Pr^, nestling
among elms and apple-trees, keeping alive the name bestowed by those
people whom history has proven not undeserving of their fate, but
whose memories live in romance like dream faces, undyingly ; best
described in the poet's own lines : —

" In the Ac.idian land, on the shores of the Basin of Minas,

" Ye exiled sons of lily France !

But oft as purple eventide

Some wanderer by the river-side

Shall drop a tear and dream of you."

MINAS BASIN.

If the \nnapolis Valley is a spot to lure and detain for indefinite
periods the traveller, then the Basin of Minas with its northern shore,
amazing, striking, exhilarating, calls loudly for an equal share of atten-
tion Accessible by the steamer leaving Hantsport, or the Evangeline
Navigation Company's line from Kingsport to Parrsboro', the finest and
most awe-inspiring views of Blomidon from all sides are obtained. The
latter company's steamer runs out under the cape, and around it into
full view of the entire basin. .Across the bay are the noble Cobequid
Mountains, Sugar Loaf dominating the range ; at their feet the glowing
reddish and white masses of the Five Islands, and great cliffs of Frazers
Head, especially interesting to an artist or geologist. Following the
shore westward the eye rests on distant Parrsboro' first, then on Par-
tridge Island, Cape Sharp, Ram Head, fully sustaining its right to such
a name, and far away the receding curves of Greville B^)'- ^om out
which looms the majestic headlands of Cape Spencer and Cap D Or,
terminals of the great Peninsula of Cumberland County.

When midway of the basin, Blomidon discloses all the columns of
its basaltic formation, clothed, as befits a 'dngl/ form, in purple hues ;

truly remarkable shores to Economy on one side and Advocate Harbor
on the other, and the great coal mines inland. Rail connection is from
here made with the Intercolonial — as noted in a former section — at
Spring Hill Junction.

WINDSOR.

Leaving Grand I'rc^ or Wolfville the route loa<ls tlirough the Inisy
little shipbuilding town of Hantsport, where one may see oftentimes a
score of vessels reclining at various angles on tiie muddy banks, or float-
ing well up to the level of the marshes, as the tide may determine,
crosses the broad waters of the Avon and stops at one of the most
interesting and beautiful towns in Nova Scotia, Windsor.

Of course every guide-book ever written telis you that " Sam Slick "
lived here, that on the hill near the station stand the block house, maga-
zine, and barracks of Fort Kdward, with Annapolis' ruins — the possession
of the Crown ; that King's College, oldest of B:ngland's colonial univer-
sities, is here, dating from i 790, and that it was one of the oldest and
largest of the Acadian settlements ; but it cannot convey to you the
subtle charm of the landscape, attaining its fullest expression as seen
from the college grounds, nor put into adequate Knglish the foreign air
that pervades the place ; in the latter respect it approaches Halifax,
from which it is distant forty-six miles.

One's first impression of Windsor may not be pleasing, as the old
portion near the river is more picturesciue than tidy ; its post-office and
court house are promises of better things to come. It will be a matter
of surprise to learn that this is third among ship owning towns in Canada,
and that its gold mine, a few miles south, is actually a paying invest-
ment. The most novel effects of the tides are again seen here. Warner
remarked that he " never knew before how much water adds to a river ! "
It may not be amiss to mention that bne of Canada's first poets, widely
read in the United States, C. G. D. Roberts, has his home here, occupy-
ing the chair of English Literature in King's College.

The journey hence to Halifax is not interesting although brief, leading
through wilderness and flat lantls.

HALIFAX.

This interesting city deserves a long and complete chapter by itself,
and it is fitting that it should serve as a climax to all that has gone
before. Its chief interest to the visiting American is its decided English
tone and aspect ; in this particular it is perhaps more individual than
any other Canadian city, save Montreal.

northern seas and secure from the attacks of any maritime power.

Though less ancient than the i)ort of La Have on the southern shore,
and less rich in history, Halifox had the advantaj^e in 1749 "f l>eginnmg
its existence with a colony of over twenty-five hundred, which m six
months had grown to five thousand, aiul in 1894 something like ten
times as many souls. It is beautiful for situation, overlooking its harbor
and the Bedford Hasin in either direction, and graced by many solid
and noble civic and ecclesiastic buildings, with streets that strongly sug-
gest corners of London or Edinburgh.

The Haligonian, when approached by proper letters of mtroduction,
is one of the most delightful entertainers possible, otherwise he is
inclined to be exclusive One sees on the public thoroughfares numer-

noteworthy and famous :ll through the north, and at times, when the
fine military band plays, with the accompanying illuminations and listen-
ing crowds, is a scene of great brilliancy and animation.

It is seldom vouchsafed a stranger to enter the ramparts of the cita-
del or the works and batteries in the harbor, lest he be especially
favored, but it is possible and very interesting to attend the military
services at Garrison Chapel, to visit the old church of St. Paul's, the
Cathedral, the Parliament buildings, the Point Pleasant Park, the Ter-
race; and on early morning of a Wednesday and Saturday, the Green

Market.

The opportunities for getting away from Halifax by water are numer-
ous, whether for Europe or the States, Newfoundland, Cape Breton, St.
Pierre, or Quebec ; or the fair bays and resorts that line the still fairer
South Shore, St. Margaret's Bay, incomparable Mahone Bay, Chester,
Lunenburg, La Have, Liverpool, Shelburne, and a host of other towns
equally attractive. Chester is a favorite resort of Haligomans and
people from the Southern States; Lunenburg is large, thriving, and
almost exclusively German ; Bridgewater on the La Have is rich in
history and legends of the Acadians, and offers great inducements to the
canoeist or fisherman in its rivers and lakes inland.
