Above are sommes of one of the Great Lakes steamshipe-- the Assinidele. The desks are as spacions ns the cabins, and ae clean as comfortable. 3 0 traveller has seen Canada until he has crossed Lakes. Missing them he misses not opportunity of tracing a great, historic, important and beautiful waterway. He also misses n experience which cannot be ejoyed in any other part of the world--that of going to sea in the centre a continent. Above all, he misses nearly two days delightfully cool voyaging, which, if he be travel. between the eastern provinces and the prairie provides a welcome break in the long and y. Great Lakes of Canada form the most re- markable groups of lakes in the world--a group re- markable- for "its extent, its importance, its historie interest and its beauty. With the St. Lawrence river, they provide Canada, in summer, with a stu- pendous inland waterway by which it is possible to teach the heart of the Dominion from the Atlantic ocean, & waterway which, since the beginning, has' been inestimably important to the country's develop- ment, This vast expanse is haunted by the ghosts of many of the most famous makers of North America. As for their beauty--the loveliness of these pine-fringed inland seas is something which one feels Hight belongs in dreams. Canadiap Pacific Railway, through its Great fakes Steamship Service, enables those anxious to enjoy all this to gratify their desire. 'Threq fine steamships. the "Assiniboia," "Keewatin™ and "Mani. toba," are maintained by the company in this service. Built on, and brought out from, the Clyde, they are miniature ocean liners. may be made of three sailings a week, two from Port McNicoll and one from Owen Sound, both on the Georgian Bay, a north-easterly off-shoot MoNicoll, within a few miles of the spot where Champ! and the Jesuits made their ill-fated treaty with the Hurons sgainst the Iroquois three ecen- turies ago. The illusion of being at sea comes rapidly. Flocks of great gulls wheel overhead, fearlessly settli on rail and davit. The deck throbs bemeath. Coo! breezes drive out all unpleasant memories of heat, dust and smoke. Only two features of a life on the ocean wave are lacking--the tang of salt, for which the scent of pine is a worthy substitute and the umpleasant rolling, instead of which we bave almost complete ness. Throughout an afternoon one views an ever- cha panorama. Large islands bearing tiny houses, flit by. Small islands, canoes on their shal- low beaches, give glimpses of white tents seen through trees, and the smoke of campfires. Night .omes softly, gradually enveloping this picturesque medley of water, land and sky. The moon rises, a trail of silver across the lake, a trail left by the canoes of Radisson, Maranetts, Etienng Brulé, athes Horgues, Hennepin, MacKenzie, Henry, a long procession of daring men, whose paddles still make music in the pages of Canada's thrilling history.
