Fosin.rly' of Bownaaville Ltter Number Two Second day, Thursday, ,May 20, 1926-Reveille saunded at 4:20 a. mi. and with a long way to go, none hesitated. Our Woad's Arctic sleep- ing bags of eider down had kept Hal and me more tnan comfortable, and we voted theni easily the best value in aur outflt. Furthenmaro, we appreciated aur cushions, his af lblue and mine of violet (no doubt the laugbing stock cf the woodsmen but a godsend ta the amateur in the cold cf the northern lakes.). Breakfast consisted of fried eggs, bread and tes, lots of each. The Sun was sining but it was cold and when we pulled out at 7.10 every- one wore lIl the clothes ho had, and I was again haIt iburied in niy parka. We were going soutah @n Lac Seul making for the Lac Seul post of the Hudson's Bay Co, and after an hour's run saw on aur left the In- dian Reservation, with its numerous log shanties, the little white cburch showing up long befove anything else. The Indians in tabis part of Icountry suffered terrifbly in the j pidemic, whole families beîng wi out, in some cases an isolated f ily being found ail deadl by sonle calling to invpstigate why they not 9hown up at the store or chui Lac Seul post was reached sh ly after, and Mr. AldTous, the f or, welcomed us heartily. Ho ha message for Hal which had I droppedl by Captain Ruse (w] peope corne froni Hampton, n( of Bowmanville) fron tahe Govi ment Forestry aiTplane the day f ore. Mr. Aldrous bs one of the r notod of tahe Hudson's Bay pec a thorough English. gentlemen,1 bas been many years in the n( counitny, but who stili retains English accent. His post is fai as the best kept Hudson's Bay si la tabe north, and with its w' painted buildings witb theiT gr roofs, it shows up in splendid s frnt the lake. Hero we aiso found Canoti Jago, the Provincial man froni E son wbo had corne in ta search the bodies of bwo Toronto pros] tors whoo had been drowned in Seul on Tuesday. The Indiane the postaiha found tahe cu î swaanped and some of tabou eq ment a short distance wway. MT, Aidrous introduced us t Hudson's Bay runnen (one wbo vols from, post te post with messa stock, etc.) who bad been fi years in the service and had b awarded tahe gold modal. Ho squaw-enan, i. o., had married squaw. We saw one of bis chul( a young man about 20, much an Indian and just as tacitunn, ho would not talk. -We learnod that Elîiott's b wbich hed passed us last even had put up at tabe post for the ni and the factor had provided si ing accommodation for its 32 pas gers. Whether they were laid in rows on the floor or wenep one on top of the otiien, we did learn. Unable ta obtain a guide at post, for Mr. Aldrous could not an Indian wba could speak Eni 38 at the moment, we started off ai with Roy reclining in the freig working on bis compass andr Tre course ias alsnost duei aîong the north shore ot the monse'lake, which les dotted witl Inumnerible islands. It was necossary to keep a sl lookout for rocks. The sun shining and it waâ warmer than terday marning, but stalîl , nough ta vequire the parka and the other warm clothing. The wind had chapped hands and f, and the littie sample box of mer -latuni which I had in my po came in very handy and wasi freely and promiscuausly. Sa the. monning passed, with sun warxming the air as day pnogi ed. Hal, the coatatable, curled between the ±two canoos loaded No. 3 and slept most of the time. wrapped hoiseif in the cuver of 1beat, and finally stretched ont or seat and went to sleep aso,, ir ible under the canvas. 1 trio( read, but it'was nlot a day for r lng, and se sat and meditaated, finadly jilat eut Dinner came at hail past twf the boots being beached on a se shore. The menu was, once ai sandwiches and tea. Thon the b weTe marshailod in lino, No. 1ihh ed ta No. 3, and that ta No. 2 -thi way we made better timo. necessitated Bill sitting in the1 of No. 1, and Hal to-ok bis seat, seon carled up under the cover a sleep, made possible by the that the sua ahone and the wind abated some. We miade st progress, maklng for Pine Ridge, so, the heurs passed. Soon cloudi covered the sun, wind rose again and lit bogan tae cold. We passed severail b( amaîl gasoline launches goingi raturning trom Pino Ridge ta son. Islands were everymwhere the. channels difficult ta find. coI~~ On variaus occasions we had to go slowly along s*mre deep bay lookîng for an autlet, buta the pilota nover talled and while n.o deulbtaw£ lasi considerable time, thbe route was direct. On one Island w. saw a cross af. wood, marking a loneîy grave. On anotaher an Indien was camped, with bis dog on the sand bouide is fine. Soon aur course Iay ta, the north- west, niaking for the upper end ot the lake. Wo passed through narrow channols between islands, an one of which w. sàýw a couple of Indian doge and tepee&. h was g6tting dank and much toider, but Pine Ridge could net be tanruiay. On w. went, and a cheer was raised when we ounded a peint and aaw a Hwhson'a Zay post and a num- ber of tenta. We raced ton the. uand bosch, where Miott' boat was tied to the dock, and ho hiniseif caâied outa a welcome, and gave us the cheering news thata wo were justa anived ln time for -the barometer was falling and ho had nover seen it sa low. ~Bab Davidson, who lias just open- od a restaurant, ran ahead to geta bis cook busy, and once our canoes were pulled up, We al tellowed ap the bill. Davidson's restaurant comnprised a very small log but, a medium siz- ed oficloth covered table, and a very large stove. Our meal consisted of cold meat, apagetati, fried potatoee, trl.d eggs, broad, cherries and tes, and everyon. ate as if ho lied nota s000 food for a week. Thon we laosened our boîta te ease the strain, an.d went eut ta look anound prepar- atony ta pitching the tenta. Pine Ridge is at the north-west end of Lac Seul, just wbere it narrDws down and becomes the Engliali River. It bas a splendid sand beach and directly in front and about a quart- en et a mile distant is a maîl islond, on which same day we plan ta make our home. A steep bll leads Up from the beach te tahe Hudson'% Bay post, whicb la at the front end of a clearing of about 2 acres, on which aIl the stumps aie stall standing. Mn. Wikins, the Goveranenta Sur- veyor, is laying out a tawnsite on this spot, and a tew weeks wiII see trame buildings enected. Now there is lîttlo buta tentas and few of those, save a new home for the Davidson restaurant, whîch wlll ho of galvan- ized iran and quito a stibstantial B150. The Hudson'a Bay posta is a dis- tinct disappointmenta after that of Mn. Aldrous, as it is dirty and i1- kept. The factor, Mr. Halveraton, is a squaw-man, wlth a number of dirtay half-Ibreed childnen, wbo appear to be rather worso than the full- blooded Indian. During the evening the "Pros- pecter"l, a Hudson boat, puiied into the dock and ianded 16 passongers, mostly prospectors making for the iiortt I bad any firet sobave in three days, and gota into my sleeping bqg tired out but at peace, ton the coidest part et aut journey was aver. To-.morrow would sea us at the. portale, but even if taJat ihould meua bard work, at leata It would ke.p us waasa. 1 OBITUARY Mr. Nesafield Mainprize, St. Marys On Monday, June Vii., Mr. Ness- field Mair.pr&z of West Nissouri, passed away after a lingering illness at the age of 71 years, 9 months and six dàys.

ALJNT SUSAN'S LETTER My Dear Niece :-You did well to treat the matter as a joke; it would only bave made things worse and drawn more attention to your- self had you been openly angry. Still it was very emibarra.ssing. Some people nover stop to think befoTe they speak, or have not suffi- cient tact toknow to whom things may ho said and to wh-om it is btter to kee'p silent. AUl your pleasure in the strangers and new corners ta your vicinity was at once snipped in the bud when the friend who introduced you to them recalled circunstances relating to you, and y>ur home and people, aneo>dotes--ha-mless in thesnselves but quite out of place with people who hold such differont opinions, and who could flot resus. oeverything precedent tao these stornes. Religion and politics are always sub>ets botter loft untouched unt.il yon bave become very well acquaint- ed. N:ow you feel you have bast ground witb these people and may not be able to regain it until. you can make a convenient opportunity to recal the conversation and fully explain things, which. would probolbly entail a long story of happenings many years ago. It may ho better ta lot thinga rest and hope to regain the pleasant re- lations you were just forniing by di- plomacy on your side. Thero are many events in our lives that can furnish conversation and nxay serve as an introduction to strangers, but it hs well to, pick out sncb things that in ne way comprom- ise another, or invite a long explan- ation and go ond up flatly. Quiclcly told, spcy adventures, that are in no way eanbaTrassing te the listeners "are in good taste, but when there is thie lasat discomifort- either in the teling, or for the list- eners-it shoàld neot be told, or if commen'ced dropped as quickly as is possible. Enibarressing situations are neith- er polite or courteous to anyone, but especially so in it unkind and discourteous te show up your own people or home for ridicule before strangers, just for the fun of hold- ing their attention. Just so can fulseme praise or pmronal remarks, or boastfuiness be in poor taste, as good things always, eore out on top sooner or lator, and ail the btter for a little covering u fr Your loving, Aunt Susan.
