" The fertile region up to and including Lake St. John, though fast filling with .settlers, .still remains a paradise of wild wood sport. Turning homeward on the day trip one enters upon the minute review of Saguenay's wild romance. I'erpendicular walls, overhanging clifis, scraggy crests change in kaleido.scoljic array with wDoded slopes and ravines. In two places only, at St. Marguerite and between Capes Mternitv and Trinity, where small tril)utaries pour intt) the deep, dark stream, a breach occurs in the phalanx of jimestone rocks. Hright suidight and heavy shades cast weird contrasts. Presently looms into view majestic Cap Triuity, with its indented outline, its cross and image of the IIolv Virgin. The .steamer closes in on its ba.se, irries for a moment, then shoots out toward mid-stream, as if tt) gather fresh courage for a plunge into the .shadows of the .still nughtier dipt litftnity. When the mannnoth head of this monarch of the north, witli its circling aurocola of firs, is lit by the rays of the mid-day sun, rising as out of the blackness of an aby.ss, one feels like a mite in creation and as well repaid for the journey. While our party of New I'jigland tourists stood mute and lost in wonder, the more ebullitions French Canadi- ans aboard, including a couple of priests, chanted the " Laudamus Deo" and fittingly exj)ress- ed what a (piarter millennium ago attracted to these lonely regions the sturdy Norman sailors. Their descendants .still inhabit the scattered handets, thriving by the woodman's axe or the fisherman's arts, and cling to their simple faith an•• -3 85^^5ip%-^*t»--*! ~'^^'iX3"id3 nift«MM««i -^#^^^^^^ "• ' f vdim L«r'i- 1 ' -^^^M -**v ""^ III iii''weg~— ^ =--Be- fer— 1 Cape Eternity.
