 "^ro paint the lily is, in Shakspeavc' s wordsy wasteful 
 and ridiculous excess. To sketch the land of poetry and 
 romance made immortal in I.ongfcllou^ s " Evangeline " is, 
 similarly, hut a vain attempt to gild refined gold. 
 
 Yet this little book has its excuse. Tlie American poet, 
 who transmuted into an exquisite idyll the story that 
 Hawthorne cast aside, never visited the Land of Acadic, 
 *' Jiome of the happy.'' He zcas content to draw all (lie 
 familiar Cuyp-like pictures, whose mellow radiance is so 
 well-known to us in the pages of the poem, from his 
 imdgination. They are pictures of a poetic land. 
 
 It will be well at once to say that the reality ojcts trips the 
 
 picttwe. Who that has looked upon its vistas of apple 
 
 orchards, a very ocean of -white blossotn, or has enjoyed the 
 
 beauties of landscape and seascape visible from Bloviidon's 
 
 broio, can parallel its glories elsezuhere ? 
 
 There is a life-giving vigor in the air. Sunshine does 
 not bring languor. Italian skies and temperate days make

 THE 
 
 "LAND OF EVANGELINH 
 
 ROUTE.

 I. 
 
 THE most popular line of travel to the American, 
 Canadian, and European tourist desirous of making 
 acquaintance witli the picturesque scenery, varied resources, 
 and health-giving air of Nova Scotia, is that so wtll- 
 known as the '' Land of Evangeline " Route. This 
 ''charmed country" is traversed by the Windsor and 
 Annapolis Railway, which, beginning at Halifax, the 
 capital of the province, connects at Annai)olis with the 
 Y. & A. Railway leading to Yarmouth and with steam- 
 ships running to St. John, the commercial capital oi 
 New Brunswick, atul at Yarmouth with the Yarmouth 
 Steamship Company to Boston. The Windsor and 
 Annai)olis Railway has been modernised and popularised 
 in its equipments, and now furnishes all the luxurious 
 facilities for safe, speedy, and elegant travel that the best 
 
8 
 
 Continental roads can offer. Their parlor-cars, each with 
 a buffet supplying viands and delicacies galore, are the 
 ac„,e of con,fort, convenience, and cosiness, and have been 
 specially built by the Pullman Palace CarCon>pany to run 
 on the n.agniticent train which has now l^xed itself in the 
 poimlar affections as "The Flying ISluenose." 
 
 liefore boarding "Ti.e Flying Bluenose " at Halifa. 
 the tourist should n.ake himself familiar with the 
 s^hts of the city. I, abounds in many attractior.s to 
 •he student of history or n,ili,ary and naval sciences 
 OS well as to the lover of nature. The beauties of 
 Habfax, with its n.agniticent harbor, noble scenery, and 
 P"bh<- parks and gardens, have always excited the 
 admiration of intelligent a:,d cultured strangers fron, 
 -II quarters of .l,e gh,he. It i. ,,e chief military and 
 naval station of (.reat Britain on the North American 
 Conttnent. The British Covernment has spent millions 
 of dollars in building massive and impregnable for.ifica- 
 <.ons cominanding every avenue of appro.ach from the 
 »ea. At the mouth of the harbor lies MacNab's Island 
 a well-wooded and picturesque sp„t, constituting J 
 vc-ntahle paradise for piciickers in the summer sealn. 
 nu. IS fortified on „oth sides. Further up the harbor 
 
I 
 
 le 
 n

 e 
 
is SI. C.eorgc's Island, which vises Uke an cmeraUl gem 
 upon the bosom of the waters, and seems to have been 
 placed there by nature for the special purpose of being 
 turned into a fortiticai.on for the protection of the city. 
 This has been taken advantage of by the British Govern- 
 ment, and some of the heaviest guns which military 
 ingenuity has been able to produce have been placed 
 there. At York Redoubt, a massive granite promontory 
 commanding the western entrance to the harbor, and at 
 Point rier.sant other gigantic fortifications have been 
 erected, while the citadel, rising up from the heart of 
 the city and commanding its approaches from every 
 direction, seems to say to the enemy, able to pass all 
 the other grim sentinels-" Thus far shalt thou come, but 
 no farther." 
 
 The view fron. Citcidel Hill presents an extensive and 
 varied scope of landsca]* and wat.rscape worlli traveling 
 many miles to see. The harbor is acknowledged to te 
 one of the finest of the world, and is a rendezvous in 
 times of peace for the fleets of all nations when cruising 
 fvon, sea to sea. It is no unusual sight in Halifax harbor 
 to see squadrons of American, French, and German men- 
 of-war anchored side by side with those of Great IJntam.

 The combined navies of the world could find room enough 
 in this s])acious and magnificent sheet of water to safely 
 ride at anchor. For yachting, boating, bathing, and all 
 kinds of aquatic sports it presents unsurpassed facilities. 
 The Halifax dockyard covers fourteen acres, being one of 
 the finest in the British Colonies. 
 
 Halifax was founded by Lord Cornwallis in 1749, ^"^i 
 is rich in historical associations and traditions connected 
 with the wars and struggles which have marked the settle- 
 ment of this Continent, and the military and naval history 
 of (Jreat Britain during the last century and a half. It 
 contains many noble ]ndDlic buildings and beautiful i)rivate 
 residences. It is noted for its philanthro])ic spirit and 
 generous hospitality to strangers, and is a favorite resort 
 of Americans in search of a cool, healthful, and pleasurable 
 resort during the hot months in summer, which are so 
 enervating and unbearable in the sun-baked cities of our 
 cousins across the border.

 '^piIE traveler leaves Halifax with regret, but when he 
 -'■ takes passage lor the '' Land of Evangeline " by the 
 Windsor and Annapolis Railway, his regret is soon 
 swallowed up in the delights that he meets in the first 
 ten miles of his journey, as he sits in the parlor-car 
 and sees a majestic panorama unfolded of nature's noblest 
 handiwork, lie skirts along the picturesque sinuosities 
 of the western shore of Bedford Basin, a glorious sheet ot 
 water, almost land-locked, ten miles in length, and from 
 iive io eight in breadth, smooth as a mirror and shining in 
 the morning sun, reflecting the woodjd hills which every- 
 where surround it, here and there flecked with pleasant 
 cottages and pretty gardens. 
 
 At Bedford, the head of this enchanting scene, there 
 are excellent hotels, and the sportsman can fmd plenty of 
 good l.shing and shooting ground, if disposed to linger 
 there at the i)roper seasons of the year. From Bedford 
 almost to Windsor he passes through scenery of a 
 , rugged though not unattractive character, where there are 
 lakes abounding in fish, and forests filled with game. 
 Reaching W^indsor, the tourist will fmd many things to

 attract him and he will probably elect to spend a few days 
 there. It is a delightful town embowered amo.ig trees, 
 and has many wealthy inhabitants and charming private 
 residences. It is the seat of King's College, the oldest 
 University on the Continent still existing which was estab- 
 lished by Royal Charter. It has turned out from its portals 
 during its century of existence many men who have been 
 famous in arts and arms, literature, statesmanship, and juris- 
 prudence. Here stands what was once the home of '* Sam 
 Slick," who, though a Nova Scotian, is generally conceded 
 to have been the father of the American school of humor. 
 Here also stand the remains of Fort Edward, which 
 played a conspicuous part in the old fights between the 
 French and English, and in skirmishes with the Indians. 
 The Avon river, famous for its ruddy waters and high tides 
 runs beside this town, its alluvial deposits, brought up from' 
 the Bay of Fundy, imparting fertility to the wide stretches 
 of valuable marsh lands which line its classic banks. 
 Windsor is famous for its gypsum quarries, and amoncr the 
 ship-owning ports of Canada takes a leading place! It 
 stands at the head of the world-famous orchard region of 
 Nova Scotia, where one can drive for many miles at a 
 stretch under apple blossoms. This fruitful region, known 
 as the Cornwallis and Annapolis Valleys, is a belt of land

 about one hundred miles in length, and from seven to ten 
 in l)readth, sheltered between two mountain ranges, which 
 shield the orchards from the winter winds and fogs, and 
 thus atiford every climatic advantage for the development 
 and ripening of all kinds of fruit that grow in the temperate 
 zone. 
 
 Apple culture is the principal fruit industry of the 
 Annapolis Valley, but plums, pears, peaches, grapes, 
 cherries, and all kinds of small fruits are successfully grown 
 in this remarkably prolific region. 
 
 Apple culture was first introduced into the Annapolis 
 Valley by the French in or about the year 1633. It is 
 stated that some of the trees planted by them still live 
 and bear fruit though over a century old. The early 
 efforts of the French were followed by those of settlers 
 from the New England States, attracted hither by the 
 lieauty of the scenery and the fertility of the soil. 
 These men brought knowledge and experience in horti- 
 culture from their native homes, and the evidences of 
 their thrift and industry still abound in the noble orchards 
 of their descendants. They settled in several parts of the 
 valley in considerable numbers in 1760, and though they 
 have long since passed away their works live after them.

 Their cflorts were in turn supplemented by those of the 
 United Empire Loyalists, or "refugees," as they were 
 called, who left their homes in various parts of the New 
 I'ligland States, rather than take up arms against the 
 mother country. The present production of apples alone 
 in this valley runs into hundreds of thousands of barrels 
 a year, and the industry is capable of almost infinite 
 expansion. 
 
 Judge Weatherbe, of ihe Suj^reme Court of Nova Scotia, 
 has shown his personal faith in the enterprise by i)lanting 
 an orchard containing some 5,000 trees, where he has also 
 erected a fine summer residence of a unique style of 
 architecture, named ''St. Eulalie," taking his cue from 
 Longfellow's '• Evangeline :" — 
 
 Sunshine of St. Eulalie ' was she called ; for that was the sunshine 
 
 Which, as the farmers believed, would load their orchards with 
 apples." 
 
 Judge Weatherbe estimates that if all available land in 
 this valley were, as it will be in this generation, put under 
 cultivation, it is capable of producing fruit to the annual 
 value of 130,000,000.

 THE scenery of this charming section of country is of 
 the most delightful description imaginable, presenting 
 new combinations from point to point as the train rolls 
 on. Shortly after we leave Windsor, Cape Blomidon looms 
 u[), a magnificent promontory with leonine aspect grimly 
 guarding the Basin of Minas and holding watch over a 
 land singularly rich in history, tradition, legend, poetry, 
 and romance. Near Ilorton Landing and Wolfville licb 
 ihe lovely " Gaspereau Valley." The view from the top 
 of Blomidon, which the tourist may ascend without much 
 difficulty, is grand to the point of sublimity. Seven 
 counties of Nova Scotia are visible to the naked eye from 
 its summit, and the shores of New Brunswick may be 
 seen across the waters of the ever-rolling Bay of Fundy. 
 Viewed in any light, and from any point, Cape Blomidon 
 fills the mind with a sense of grandeur— 
 
 *' A precipice, 
 " That seenis a fragment of some mighty wall, 
 " Built by the hand that fashioned the old world 
 " To separate its nations." 
 Not far from its base lies the spot rendered classic by the 
 <Tcnius of Loni^fellow in a poem as imperishable as the 
 Pnijlish laneuaiie. 
 
24 
 
 *' In the Acadian land, on the shores of ihe Basin of 
 
 " Miiias, 
 ** Distant, secluded, still, the little village of Grand 
 
 " Pre 
 
 " Lay in the fruitful valley.'* 
 
 * * * * 
 
 " Down the long street she passed with her chaplet of 
 
 " beads and her missal, 
 '* Wearing her Norman cap, and her kirtle of blue, 
 
 " and the ear-rings 
 
 *' Brought in the olden times from France." 
 
 * * * * 
 
 '^ This is the forest primeval, but where are the hearts 
 
 '* that beneath it 
 *' Leaped like the roe, when he hears in the woodland 
 " the voice of the huntsman?" 
 There are still many traces of the work of that band of 
 French settlers whose history is the saddest and most 
 melancholy recorded in the annals of history and romance. 
 The dykes they built with patient toil, reclaiming a magni- 
 ficent heritage from the sea, still remain and will stand 
 for all ages a permanent monument to their industry and 
 thrift.

 Among the historic sights to be seen from the car 
 windows are the locations of the well beside which Basil, 
 father of Gabriel, erected his forge ; of t' - old parish 
 church, the bell of which summoned the ill-fated in- 
 habitants to their doom ; and, later, of the narrow lane 
 in which Colonel Noble and his gallant band of seventy 
 followers were surprised in the early hours of morning 
 during a blinding snovv^storm and massacred. These 
 can l)e pointed out to the tourist by the courteous train 
 officials. From the cars also may be seen the si)ot 
 whence the unhappy little colony, doomed to exile, em- 
 barked on their ill-fated and distressful bufletings with 
 adverse fortune. A few days spent at Wolfville, a lovi-ly 
 and thriving university town, having good hotel accom- 
 modation, brings the tourist in touch with the historic past, 
 and gives him a refreshing glimpse of the living present 
 under the most favourable conditions. Acadia College 
 is one of the most nourishing educational institutions in 
 Canada. 
 
 Kentville is soon reached, a pretty .own located in the 
 midst of the most seductive scenery. It is the shire town 
 of the fertile county of Kings, and is the head-quarters 
 of the Windsor and Annapolis Railway Company, their 
 
chief offices and workshops being located here. The air 
 is bracing and salubrious, and trips into the surrounding 
 country in any direction will always reward the tourist by 
 the exquisite scenery which presents itself to his admiring 
 gaze. Tie streams in the vicinity abound in fish, and the 
 disciple of Izaak Walton may here revel in a paradise 
 a]^parently S))ecially created for him. 
 
 '' 'Tis sweet to feel the plastic rod, 
 " With top and butt elastic, 
 " Shoot the line in coils fantastic 
 *' Till, like thistle-down, the fly 
 ** Lightly drops upon the water, 
 '' Thirsting for the finny slaughter, 
 
 " As I angle 
 " And I dangle, 
 
 Mute and sly. 
 *' Then I gently shake the tackle, 
 '' Till the barbed and fatal hackle 
 ** In its tempered jaws shall shackle 
 " That old trout, so wary grown. 
 '' Now I strike him ! joy ecstatic ! 
 " Scoring runs! leaps acrobatic! 
 
 " So I angle, 
 
 *' So I dangle, 
 All the day."

 Should the tourist prefer the gun to the rod to satisfy 
 his sportsmanlike instincts, all he has to do is to visit 
 Kentville in the autumn and he can have his fill of 
 woodcock, partridge, snipe, and duck shooting. 
 
 In the very heart of the Land of Evangeline, beneath 
 the shadow of Blomidon, with a far-stretching strip of 
 golden beach and the orchards extending for miles on 
 every side, only lost to the sky by a cooling range of 
 hills shutting out the horizon on the south, nestles the 
 seaside resort of Kingsport. The Cornwallis Valley 
 Branch of the Windsor and Annapolis Railway links 
 this lovely spot with the trunk line at Kentville, the trip 
 from which, fourteen mile:, abounds in enchanting and 
 varied scenery. 
 
 The destiny of Kingsport is very plain— a year or so 
 will see it as fashionable a haunt as any on the New 
 England shores. It is not every day that one can stand 
 on Blomidon's beetling brow and cast his eye over an 
 immense stretch of varied scenery comprising seven 
 counties and sampling everv style and description ot 
 scenery that the novelty-seeking tourist can wish to 
 look upon. The Bay of Fundy rolls at your feet, while 
 dim in the distance the wooded shores of New Brunswick 
 loom blue on the horizon.

 But the supreme pleasure is yet available of sailing 
 beneath the very brow of lilomidon, across the magic 
 waters of the Basin of Minas, storied in legend and 
 song. The Kvangeline Navigation Company's elegant 
 steamer *' Evangeline " makes daily trips across the 
 Basin to Fnrrsboro. This glorious sheet of water with 
 its distant landscapes is entrancing beyond descrip- 
 tion. The trip across is made in an hour and a half. 
 To the south, lying in sweet repose at the base of the 
 hill, are Wolfville (the University town), and at its 
 feet the lu-oad cxi)anse of Grand Pre Dyke. Further 
 east are the settlements of liorlon— where the exiles 
 embarked— Avonport, llantsport, and ^'indsor. Tin- 
 undulating slopes are doited witli happy liomes on the 
 most productive farms in the world. Away in the 
 distance is the shore of Hants County. Hugging close 
 to the shore on the north-west the traveler begins to 
 get a proper ajipreciation of the majestic grandeur oi 
 r.lomidon, and is seized with an unconfjueral)le desire 
 to spend a few days climbing its rugged sides and enjoying 
 the glorious views to be had from its summH. The run

 view of the bold sliores of Cumberland and Colchester 
 counties. To tlic north-east is the famous range of the

 Cobcquid mountains, and at their feet are the spreading' 
 waters of Cohequid Hay. There are the Five Islands, 
 and away back in the interior rises up the Suj^ar Loaf. 
 Rounding Blomichin one gets a splendid view of the 
 sliore of the North Mountain, of the West Bay, and 
 across the Channel of the Basin almost down to Cape 
 d'Or, where liie waters of l''undy flow up into Chignecto 
 Bay. 
 
 A visit to the Land of Evangeline, without this trip 
 across the waters of the land-locked bay, is incomplete. 
 From the sea its beauties take an additional charm. 
 
 At Kingsport, the seat of a large shipbuilding industry, 
 some of the largest wooden ships that plough the ocean 
 have been built. Returning to Kentvdle, and pursuing his 
 way, the tourist is soon in the ** Garden of Nova Scotia," the 
 Annapolis Valley proper, where apple culture reaches its 
 highest point of excellence, and where orchards may be 
 seen which annually raise thousands of barrels of the very 
 best specimens of this glorious product of the goddess 
 Pomona. No pen can do justice to the gorgeous scenery, 
 ihe rich pastoral beauty, of this marvelous section of Nova 
 Scotia. There are mountains on either hand, still crowned to 
 the summits with magnificent forests, in summer presenting 
 different shades of green from the lightest to the mosl 
 
 ^f 
 
36 
 
 sombre ; in autumn unsurpassingly variegated and brilliant, 
 dressed in all the colors of the rainbow. The peaceful and 
 fruitful valley lies between. The tourist may be pardoned 
 for imagining himself in Eden, and he is scarcely taken 
 by surprise when a train ofticial in stentorian tones an- 
 nounces the name of one of the stations as *' Paradise." 
 
 But before this point is reached, and after passing 
 Cambridge, Berwick, Aylesford, and Kingston, all interest- 
 ing and thriving towns, we arrive at Middleton, a good 
 stopping place for the tourist, as he can there, if he 
 wishes, take a trip by the Nova Scotia Central Railway 
 to Bridgewater and Lunenl)urg on the Atlantic coast, 
 lovely scenery greeting his eyes on every hand. Near 
 Middleton are the romantic and fascinating Falls in the 
 Nictaux River, one of the prettiest streams in the province.

IV. 
 
 VTO visitor to the Annapolis Valley should fail to enjoy 
 ^^ some of the entrancing views "over the Mountain 
 to the Shore " of the Bay of Fundy. Among the most 
 delightful trips are those from Kentville to the "Look 
 Off" near the summit of Blomidon, whence is had 
 one of the most magnificent views to be found on 
 the Continent ; and from the mineral springs at 
 VVilmot, through the apple region of Melvern Square, 
 up through the "Mountain Gorge" to Port George. 
 The iron mines at Tor brook should also be visited. 
 At Torbrook, on the slo]-)es of the south mountain, 
 three and a half miles from Wilmot, girt in by a forest 
 of hemlocks with sun-bathed hills on the north glinting 
 at intervals through the vista of trees, have been erected 
 extensive plant and machinery, sufficient to cope in the 
 meantime with a fast expanding enterprise, which owes 
 its origin to the thriving Torbrook Iron Company, and 
 something of development to the Windsor and Annapolis 
 Railway's branch that links the mines with their markets. 
 It must be a revelation to many to know that Torbrook 
 
 4A 
 
40 
 
 is US charming a spot as any in the province. Below, 
 fenced between the hills, is the fertile Annapolis Valley. 
 On every side as you near Wilmot the land is studded 
 with orchards. A large portion of the Torbrook l^ranch 
 has been built right through a thick growth of trees 
 with heavy cuttings here and there. As the sandstone 
 rock crops up to the surface, those geologically constituted 
 can trace tlie lay of the strata with their romantic tale 
 of old world's history. It is an old formation. The 
 eye of retrospective science can discern the day when 
 the inarvelously fertile Annapolis Valley was a bay of 
 ihe sea; and its soil— half loam, half sand— is full of 
 vestiges of creation. But the man who loves a tree for 
 its own sake, and not for its carboniferous possibilities, 
 must confess with a sigh of pleasure that the Torbrook 
 woods arc just a perfect place for a picnic. The trip 
 is delightful enough through the Land of Evangeline, 
 and he would be foolish who would dispute old 
 Blomidon's beauties, but Torl)rook has a little of every- 
 thing—hill, wood, and glen— and is thus unique. We 
 are now far up the hillside, three or four hundred feet 
 above the level of the sea. We have been feasting our 
 aesthetic senses on the beauties of the scene, when all 
 
41 
 
 at once our philistine money-making interests are 
 awakened into active life by our being rushed out ot 
 the silent depths of the trees into the heart of a busy 
 hive of toiling men, with the hum of rapidly revolving 
 wheels everywhere and the restless snorting of engines. 
 Mining has been carried on in the Torbrook mines for 
 some time, but its output has of late largely increased. 
 It has infinite possibilities. The vein is very rich, the 
 ore containing something between fifty- five and sixty 
 per cent, of iron. In the days when probably our simian 
 ancestors did not know what it was to discuss reciprocity 
 on a hotel veranda, the South mountains had a hot time 
 of it. It must have been a long time in the melting-pot 
 of creation. To the nose of science it smells, like Scotch 
 theology, of the gridiron: hence, most likely, the purity 
 of the Torbrook hematite and of Scotch tlieology. The 
 apparatus and equipment of the Torbrook mines are of 
 the latest type and the best that science can produce and 
 money can buy. No sign is wanting to the experienced 
 eye to prove that the field of hematite below this Eden 
 on the hillside is alike valuable and exhaustible only 
 after many years of working. It is beyond doubt that 
 the Annnnolis Valley m.ust attract within the next few 
 years a population that will render it the garden of the 
 
42 
 
 world. Four-fifths of the land yet awaits enertretic 
 tillage. Industries are storting up in many of the corners. 
 Development will come with vast strides. Torbrook is 
 a big witness in evidence. 
 
 Continuing the journey, surrounded by the most 
 bewitching scenery, we soon reach that old historic 
 town, Annapolis Royal. This is the oldest town ever 
 founded by Euroj^eans on the American Continent, the 
 only possible competitor being St. Augustin in Florida. 
 Annapolis was settled in 1605 by the French explorer 
 De Monts, and played a very conspicuous part in the 
 stirring events connected with the struggle for the 
 possession of Acadia between England and France, 
 which was waged with varying fortunes for upwards of a 
 century after its foundation. After the possession ot 
 Acadia was ceded to Great Britain by the Treaty oi 
 Utrecht in 1713, Annapolis continued for three-quarters 
 of a century the chief naval station and head-quarters of 
 the British in the Atlantic provinces of British North 
 America, Its historical associations are therefore of a 
 most interesting character, and the student traveler, as 
 well as the searcher after health and the beautiful and 
 picturesque in nature, will fmd much that is fascinating 
 around and about this ancient landmark of history. 
 
 \ 
 
45 
 
 The venerable remains of wlial were in its day massive 
 fortifications may yet be found, l>earing testimony to the 
 fierce sieges to which it was many times subjected. 
 
 Annapolis Royal is located at the head of Annai)olis 
 Basin, that glorious sheet of water upon which I)e Monts 
 gazed with admiration as he sailed through Digby 
 Gut, and which appears to have been scooped out 
 by the waters of the Bay of Fundy cutting their 
 way through a gorge in the mountP'n, until a channel 
 half-a-mile wide was chiseled out. From Annapolis 
 a short and delightful sea-trip can be madt by means 
 of the magnificent and favorite steamer, the "City of 
 Monticello," to St. John, New Brunswick, whence 
 easy access can be had to all parts of New England 
 and of the Dominion. 
 
V. 
 
 From Annapolis Town, the railway crosses "The 
 Marsh," the field of many a bloody l)altle between the 
 English and French (the latter often assisted by the 
 Indians), and thence to Di^by runs along the shore of the 
 basin— the foot of the South Mountain. For 20 miles can 
 be enjoyed a panorama of water and landscape that in 
 picturesqueness, variety, and beauty, rivals the fiimous 
 water scapes of Scotland, Switzerland, and Italy, Nothing 
 like it is to be seen anywhere else in the new world. 
 
 There is a general concensus of opinion among scientists 
 that ages ago the South Mountain, which is of the oldest 
 known rock formation, w^as the wall that kept the Bay of 
 Fundy from sweeping over the neck of land that separated 
 its raging waters frcmi the Atlantic Ocean. By some 
 mighty volcanic action, thousands of years later, the 
 North Mountain was thrown up and the waters of Fundy 
 driven back a distance of ten miles. It is the pulverized 
 "trap rock from the North Mountain range that makes the 
 Annapolis and Cornwallis Valleys the finest fruit growing 
 region in the world.

 Island, a distance of nearly 150 miles, and running in 
 height from 600 to I, coo feet. But by some process of 
 nature immense ^or^es were cut ihroui^h this ai)parently 
 impregnable barrier. Near Di^by a channel was chiseled 
 out of this i;rim pile of rock half-a-mile deep, ihree- 
 quarters-of-a-mile wide, and a mile or more loni;, throu^rh 
 which the turbulent waters of Fimdy flow in and out with 
 the extraordinary rise of 30 feel of tide. 
 
 Di^by Neck, a strip of hii^h land, fronr half-a-mile to 
 two miles wide, separating the Bay of Fundy from Saint 
 Mary's Bay, is a continuation of the North Mountain range, 
 and by ecpially mysterious processes, nature has scooped 
 out several immense gt)rges in this Neck, similar to the 
 gap at Digby. The ravine at Sandy Cove, 20 miles 
 below Digby, was originally a literal reproduction of the 
 I)igl)y Gut ; but this passage-way, which is (jnly half-a- 
 mile from shore to shore, is now l)locked up with sand- 
 hence its name*— and in the centre of the ravine is a fresh- 
 • -ter lake. A few miles fiu'ther down is Petit Passage, 
 one mile wide, separating the Neck from Long Island — ten 
 miles long and one-and-a-half miles wide. At the lower 
 end of this Island is vt't another immense break where the 
 
 ! 
 
50 
 
 Grand Passage separates Long Island from Brier Island— 
 another long and narrow strip of land, the most westerly 
 point in Nova Scotia. These wonderful gorges afford 
 the traveler a study of the most interesting geological 
 phenomena to be foand on the Atlantic coast. 
 
 But these ravines are not confined to the North Mountain. 
 Nature played similar freaks witn the South Mountain range. 
 The valleys of the Lequille, Bear, and Moose rivers are deep 
 and romantic ravines cut through the South Mountain only 
 a few miles apart' The Bear River Gorge is directly opposite 
 (and ten or twelve miles distant from) Digby Gut, and 
 iiresents scenery which causes the jioet to smg : 
 
 " Ever charming, ever new, 
 When can diis landscape tire one's view ?' 
 
 At the head waters of this river, four miles from its 
 mouth, is a settlement of Micmac Indians, the original lords 
 of the soil. From this point the river runs east and west, 
 affording views of the most magnificent scenery. The east 
 branch runs toward Rossignol, the largest lake in Nova 
 Scotia, and the west branch to the head waters of the 
 Sissiboo, with its chain of nine lakes and its unrivaled 
 fishing and hunting gr.nmds, which are regularly frequented 
 by sportsmen from all points of the Atlantic coast.

 There is so much to t)e said about the >urroun<lini; uKjun- 
 lains, valleys, and rivers, that Init little space is left for 
 Digby, one of the most delightful of the watering resorts 
 with which the land of Hvangeline abounds. Located on 
 the slope of the volcanic range with the " Gut " to the north, 
 and fifty sc^uare miles of beautiful blue water in front of the 
 town, encircled by the richly-foliaged mountains which, in 
 the autumn, display all the colours of the rainbow, Digby 
 has been appro]iriately described as "One of the fairest 
 gems in the crown of the Garden Province." Besides the 
 transcendent beauty of its surroundings, it has the purest 
 air, the most equable of temperatures, the most beautiful 
 drives, and the best of l)oating, bathing, deep sea and fresh 
 water fishing, and hunting. It is free from fog. The fog 
 in St. Mary's Bay and in the Bay of Fundy, so thick that 
 (me could almost cut it with scissors, sometimes forges its 
 way through the " Gut,'' but the same fog climbing the North 
 Mountain in the early morning in its flight frcmi the rising 
 sun, is a picture worth traveling i,ooo miles to see. 
 
 The Right Reverend Dr. Jagger, Bishop of Southern 
 Ohio, traveled all over 'lie world iii search of an uleal 
 
 5 
 
54 
 
 summer resorl that would restore his shattered health. \ le 
 purchased a large property, and permanently settled down 
 in Digby. He says : 
 
 " I have seen every summer resort in the Northern States 
 and Canada from Quebec to Labrador, and have 
 traveled all over Europe, but I know of no place that 
 combines so many advantages as does Digby. It has 
 beautiful air. It is never too hot. The evenings and 
 nights are always deliciously cool. It has charming 
 drives, and fine roads for bicycling. It has fifty 
 square miles of placid waters for boating and 
 yachting. It has the deep sea fisheries at its door, 
 while within easy reach there are splendid brooks 
 and lakes, and wild places to camp, fish, and hunt, 
 and there is no end to its excursions. Many of my 
 friends are coming this summer to seek just what I 
 found here— perfect rest, quiet, rural life, cool climate, 
 and boundless resources for outdoor recreation." 
 
VII. 
 
 Leaving ihis panorama of beauty behind, the "Flying 
 Bluenose " carries the enraptured traveler over the mountain 
 across the North range and through thriving settlements 22 
 miles to Weymouth. Here the river Sissiboo is spanned 
 by a long and high bridge from which a fine view of the 
 town and the river emptying into St. Mary's Bay, is 
 obtained. The beautiful Sissiboo causes one to exclaim : 
 
 " The first time I beheld thee, beauteous stream, 
 
 How pure, how smooth, how broad, thy bosom heaved. 
 What teelings rushed upon my heart ; a gleam. 
 As of another life my kindling soul received." 
 
 From Weymouth to Yarmouth the railway runs through 
 the forest in the rear of the thriving settlements on the 
 shores of St. Mary's Bay— the inhabitants of which are 
 the thrifty French Acadians, the desc^^ndants of the exiles 
 of Grand Pre ; many of whom, after suffering untold agonies 
 in the knds to which they were transpon.ed, found their 
 way back to Acadia, and made their homes along the shore 
 of the beautiful sheet of water explored by De Monts in 
 1604, and subsequently named by Champlain "Bale De 
 Ste Marie." 
 
 5A 
 
56 
 
 A couple of (lays can be very enjoyably spent visiting 
 these settlements and stiulying the primitive mode of life 
 of these simple Acadian folk. 
 
 Yarmouth is the Terminus of the railway. The " Flymg 
 Bluenose " makes the run of 219 miles from Halifax in about 
 eii^ht hours. Yarmouth, the nearest point to Boston, 
 some 220 miles distant, is the most prosperous town in 
 the provinces. Its shipping has made it famous the world 
 over, and in the good old days Ijrought large wealth to its 
 people. Its jxdatial residences, beautiful gardens and 
 conservatories, and English "hedges" are the pride of its 
 citizens and the admiration of all visitors. Yarmouth too 
 is fast l)ec(.)ming a summer resort ; and in this connection 
 the Right Kevd, Dr. Perry, Bishop of the State of Iowa, 
 
 says : 
 
 Yarmouth i)ossesses every possible attraction, the sea 
 air is full of life, invigorating, bracing, and ' salty' 
 oven to the taste. The view of old ocean cannot be 
 excelled. The drives, the walks, the baths, are all 
 of the best. For beautiful homes, attractive scenery 
 and hosiritable people, the Gate City of Nova Scotia 
 stands |)re-eminent. This gateway to N(n-a Scotia 
 ()pen> tt) one all possible pleasures to the forest, the 
 lake, the river, and the sea.''

 are likely to arrive, for the purpose of selling licenses, 
 and of generally carrying out the law.

 plained of the difficulty of finding the officials who 
 hitherto have had authority to sell licenses.

 to enforce the above laws, and therefore this publicity 
 has been given to them.
