PROF. ---------- No Living Man Has Seen so Much of Canada as Has Earl Grey--Has a Long and Remarkable Journey--- At Fort Churchill and the Hudsen Bay. {Continued From Monday.) Late on the evening of the Mth the party embarked - in a gasoline launch belonging to the steamer Earl Grey, whose first officer along with the pilot, Capt. Bartlett, had come ashore to receive us ut York Factory. The Earl Grey had left Pictou on the ard of August and had arvived off the mouth of the Nelson some days before, Having inet with nothing but ferfect weather throughout the whole of her voyage, though she had heen rocked by a pretty rough gale os she lay at an chor waiting for ue.

This experience was Loharaoteristic- of the whole. trig. We had just hint enough of possible dis tresses lying in wait in the back ground and sometimes peeping through to give some zest of the steady level of our well-being which was just suffi- ciently broken to prevent its hecom- ing stodgy. Sunday, August 2st, was spent quietly on board in making acquain- tance with our new quarters, the ex: cellent quality of which was no more than done justice to, by the descrip tion of them by a very helpful member of the party as the very lap of luxury. The Earl Grey has proved herself a most efficient vessel for her special pirpose, she is in all points magnifi- cently equipped, ndmirably officered, and no less comfortable than she serviceible. is On the 22nd of daylight we reached FOR FALLING HAIR.

This is something like a harbor." High rocky ground = all round, deep walter almost everywhere and plenty of room for anchorage. Some dredging at one point would im- prove it, but it could be done once and once for all. We vidited first the gir! at the mouth of "katchewan who took part in a POW-WOW. mission and the Hudson's Bay station; sarrounded by the © of the mild and smiling Eukimos, was rather shy, though and after a little sought ita genial her tent. I should think the erankiest raft in the world is the Eskimo cance which they call a kyak. Tt is made of weal skin, sharply pointed st both ends, with no solution of continuity in' its surface, except a hole just large enough to receive the body of the Eskimo paddier, who often stows away hisWwife and children, his provisions, and his catch in the hollow places on each side of his legs as he rides fear lesaly over wave and surf, plying his parrow, double paddle with the rapid regularity and sureness of a steam en- gine. No while man would dare to en- ter the thing without first pushing his hair in the geometric middle, From the Hudson's Bay company store and the inission station we walked a few miles slong the const to the North- West Mounted police quarters, where we found the utmost neathess and good onder thrown into strong relief by the rather squalid appearance the tepess we had just left. The house of Capt, Starnes and his charming wife, sa Montreal lady, the daughter of Judge Sicotle, was a purfect model of what a white man's hows should be in such surroundiggs, a little focus of beauty and well-ordered life. It had sn excellent library furnished in great part by the benevolent and intelligent autivity of the Victorian League in far distant London, There one saw the best of what the empire means, kind hands, and strong, reaching three thou- sand miles across the sea to sealter fight and blessing and strike down wrong. It may not be very long be fore the heart of our British civilize tion will be brought "into a scarcely lesa effective proximity with this tremity of it than it stands in now with Montreal, From this tiny hearth of warmth and light we walked about two miles to view a scene not so Hatlering to our pride of race. Prince of Wales Fort, now the doleful ruins of what was Once an imposing outpost of the might of England, the well-sgoaved masonsy fallen away into erumbling debris, loose and shapeless stones strewn at random over the ground, and the forty-two guns all roasted and overgrown with berried shrubbery And this stronghold built at so much axpense and so elaborately armed, hue no past glories to shed some radiance over its present desolition. It never fired a shot at an enemy. It capitulat od to the not-very-formidable force of La Perouse, in 1782, just forty vears after 'the ingenious Mrs. Hobson" came oul to superintend the building of it. without striking a blow. The Hudson's Bay company, though once ruling over a larger territory with no less ample powers than the war like "John Company" in India, never pro duced a clive. These northern waters stir ng proud memories in the British mind. It was in them, too, that the gallant d'Therville, with one ship, put three English ships out of business. It is no bad thing for a nation to re member defeats as well as vietories. And in any case as Canadians our withers are unwrung. The great deeds of the past, whether of Gauls or Bri- ton, are equally our own in a land where the two races are happily unit- od to form a single loyal people. The 23rd of August was spent in erosting -Hodson's Bay as we made for the straits. The sea is the Mediter- ranean of British North America, and for anything we saw to the contrary it might have been the sea of old re- nown that'has appropriated the name. It was just as sunny and scarcely less blue, We had coffee on deck before breakfast in our pyjamas, in latitude (3. There seems to be no earthly rea- son why navigation here and through the straits, if the ordinary precautions in the matter of buoys and charts and lights are taken, should not be just as sale for at least three months of the year as it now is during the season thironigh the straits of Belle Isle and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Fort Churchill is as near Liverpool as Montreal is. What this- means to the North-West and to the more effective commercial unification of Canada and the empire, if the route is taken in hand and vigorously pushed through, there is no need to dwell upon. On the 24th we stopped to visit Preiontaine Harbor, a magnificent ba- sin on the north coast of Ungava, which could easily sccommodate the whole liritish fleet (two power stand ard). Steaming along through Hud- son's Straits on tne 25th we coasted along Charles' Island and had a sight of walruses disporting themselves be hind us in the calmer water of the Bay. On the 26th we shaped our course for Baffin's hand on_ the north side of the Straits, This was the day of joebergs. We saw a good many, put I was disappointed to find that they were not so numerous as | have geen them from the deck of an Atlan tic stesmer in the Straits of Belle Isle. Their fantastic and various shapes with the emerald glints di versifying their whiteness in the beil- fiant Sunshine with which we were favored, were as they always are une der such conditions a memorable sight, We had glimpses of the Grimel Glacier as we coasted slong Baffin's Land. At last taking our leave of Canadian waters for a while we head- od for Yort Burwell, a small but desp-water harbor belonging to New. foundland on the most northern point of Ungava. Here «fb stayed two days taking in water and visiting the Mora- vian Mission, whose Eskimo settle ment vided us with a 'welcome sup- delicious fresh cod.

We left Okkak on the morning of the 3lst and on Septémber Ist reach. ed Indian Harbour on the northem side of Hamilton let. Here we were within the radius of the far reaching activity of Dr. Greufell. What he has done is too well known to need any account and would take a volume.
