THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. These islands commence near Kingston, and extend down- ward to Brock- ville. a distance of over fifty miles. They form the most numerous collection of river islands in the world, are of every imaginable shape, size and appearance, some being mere dots of rock a few yards in extent, others covering acres, thickly wooded, and presenting the most chai-ming appearance of rich foliage conceivable. At times the steamer passes so close to these islands that a pebble might be cast on their shore; while, looking ahead, it appears as though fiirther progress was effectually barred, when rounding the points amid widening passages and bays the way is gradually opened before us. Again the river seems to come to an abrupt termination. Approaching the threatening shores, a channel suddenly appears, and you are whirled into a magnificent ajaphitheatre of lake, that is, to all appearance, bounded by an immense green bank. At your approach the mass is moved as if by magic, and a hundred little isles appear in its place. Such is the charming scenery presented on this beautiful route. It is a famous spot for sporting; myriads of wild fowl of all descriptions may here be found. Angling is considered very good, and one of the best places on the St. Lawrence, from the great quantity and size of the fish. These islands are becoming famous as a summer resort by the great monied men of the United States, numerous handsome villas having been erected thereon, and other improve- naents going on increasing every year. By this line tourists have the option of going through these beautiful islands either by the British or American channel. NAVIGATION ntano OMPANY. INFORMATION FOR TOURISTS -VISITING THE ^^ RIVER SAGUENAY. c^^ > ^< » IIEIIE are many objects of interest to note in making this excursion. In leaving Queuec, there is a fine view of tlie city and harbor from the promenade deck of the steamer. Cape Diamond, with its citadel and battlements, the city surrounding same on all sides, with its domes and spires, the ramparts and batteries crowning this thriving town, the fertile plains of Beauport in the foreground, lend an enchantment to the sight not to be surpassed. The harbor improvements. The Louise Tidal Basin, the largest on this continent. Looking across on the south side, opposite Quebec, there stands tlie growing town of Levis of about 30,000 inhabitants, being the terminus of the Grand Trunk Eailway, the Quebec Central and Intercolonial Railways. jThe terminus also of the Royal Mail Ocean Steamers. A little back of the town stands the celebrated fortifications built by the imperial government. There is also a graving dock, th^ most extensive in size in America. The "Montmorency Fa'ls" charms the beholder as the steamer swiftly glides by. Then turning from the city, Ave see the Island of Orleans, which Jacques Cartier in 1535 christened the '-Isle of Bacchus," so called from the luxuriant growth of its wild grape-vines. It is situated nine miles below Quebec; it is twenty miles in length, and six in its greatest width. There are several villages scattered over its surface ; its soil is very fertile ; it rises to a considerable eleva- tion at its western extremity, the high land being fully 350 feet above the water level. There are numerous Catholic churches and one Protestant. The total population of the island is between 6,000 and 7,000. A ferry steamer plies regularly between the city and the island.

The bathing is very good. The lover of Nature will enjoy the beautiful effect of a June or July sunsi't as seen fr<»m here. There are two very fine water-falls at Uiviere du Loup. CACOUNA BAY. Leaving the wharf, the boat points her course again to the opposite shore, and in less than two hoxirs we find ourselves at "TADOUSAC," which is at the mouth of the far-famed Saguenay. This is a very pleasant spot. There is a fine hotel here, and in connec- tion with it all kinds of sports for the amusement of visitors. The bathing at this place is very superior. A large number of villas have beer .rected, including one built by his ex- cellency Earl Dufterin, now owned by Sir R. Cameron of New York. Tadousac is interesting from its having been from an early period the capital of the French settlenxents, and one of their chief trading posts. The great white Hotel throws its shadow over the little two-hundred-year-old chapel of the Jesuits, which stands at the foot of its lawn still preserved in all the simplicity of its time. Here are the ruins of a Jesuit establish- ment, and on this spot once stood the first stone and mortar building ever erected in America, the home of Father Marquette, T" TADOUSAO.i the explorer of tlio River ^fississippi. A cluster of pine trees over 'JOO years old has <;r()\vn from the centre of these historical ruins. Getting ahoard again, we now really enter the justly lenowned Saguenay. At every turn of the boat some new atti-action is discovered; our eyes arc strained that we may catch a glimpse of all the magnificent grandeur that now hursts upon us. THE SAGUENAY RIVER is xmquestionahly one of the most remarkable rivers of the continent. Its waters are very clear, and abound in a great variety of fine fish. The scenery is wild and romantic in the highest degree. The first half of its course averages half a mile in width, and runs through an almost untrodden wilder- ness. This wonderful river seems one huge mountain, rent asunder at remote ages by some great convulsion of Nature. The shores are composed principally of granite, and every bend presents to view an imposing bluff. Many of those tower perpendicularly into the air, r.nd seem ready to totter and fall at any momeiit. CAPES ETERNITY AND TRINITY are worthy of note. The first rises io a height of 1,900 feet, and the other only a little less. If the only recompense for the visit to the Saguenay was a sight of these stuper.dovis promontories, we are quite sure no visitor woiild regret it. The steamers shut off steam when approaching these capes, and the captain shapes his course to give the passengers I'^illf.itVM mv^ 'M3W. Mku'iutMii CAPE ETBhNITV. the best view.

Seven miles lower down CEDAR RAPIDS.- At first sight this rapid has the appearance of the ordinary rapids, but once the steamer has entered it the tur- bulent waters and pitching about renders the passage very exciting. There is also a peculiar motion of the vessel, which seems lit settling down, as she glides from one ledge to another. A short distance below this we enter the SP1.it rock, so called from its enormous boulders at the en- trance. A person unacquainted with the navigation of these rapids will almost involuntarily hold his breath until this ledge, which is distinctly seen from the deck of the steamer, is passed. At one time the vessel see^is to be running directly upon it, and you almost feel certain that she will strike, but a skilful hand is at the helm, and in an instant more it is passed in safety. We now come to the last of this series of rapids, called the CASCADE rapids.- '^'t is a very fine rapid. It is remarkable on account of its numero-i white crests foaming on top of the darkish waters, through which the vessel passes, and as the shortness of the waves has the effect of pitching the steamer as if at sea, the sensat'on is very enjoyable. After passing the Cascades, the river again widens into a lake called Lake St. Louis, where the dark waters of the Ottawa by one of its branches joins the St. Lawrence. This series of four rapids are eleven miles in extent, and have a descent of eighty-two and one-half feet. On this lake the tourist from . le deck of the steamer has a magnificent view of the Montreal Mountain about thirty miles distant. After passing through this lake I.ACHINE is reached. It is nine miles from Montreal, with which it is connected by railroad. It derives its name from the first settlers, who when they reached this point thovght they had dis- covered the passage which would lead them to China. The Lachine Rapids begin just below the village. On the opposite side stands CAUGHNAWAOA, an Indian village lying on the south bank of the river near the entrance of the Lachine Rapids, and derives its name from the converted Indians, who were called "Caughnawagas," or praying Indians. It is at this place the old Indian pilot shoots out in his bark canoe and boards the steamer for the purpose of piloting her down the Lachine Rapids. Baptistb, the Indian pilot, is as anxiously looked for by the passengers on board of this Company's Steamers as the rapid itself. He is now in the prime of life, and has made it his business for over forty years to pilot st'^amers down the rapids, and has not missed a day in twenty years. During the summer season he is employed exclusively by this Company. Shortly after leaving this Indian Village the tourist can contemplate the new, magnificent bridge recently constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railway, and spanning for the second time the mighty St. Lawrence. It is built on the most recent scientific principles and resembles the great International Railway Bridge at i^iagara. The steamer now glides dowttthe rapid stream with increasing swiftness, which clearly denotes that a formidable rapid is ahead. Stillness reigns on board; away goes the Hteaiuer, diiven by an irresistible current, which soon carnes lier to the first pitch of the LACHINE RAPIDS. the most formidable of them all, the most diflacult of navigation »,nd the last of the rapids. The ste.amer after emerging from its lirst pitch rises firmly on the surging billows, flanked by rocks on ^ach side, steers straight in the swift current, guided by the steady eyx? and »ure piloting of the man at the helm.
