Hundreds, even thousands, of the huge animals inhabited the almost untouched wilderness which is Isle Royale. The story made a Rfteat impression o» those of -us. -who liked the sort of outdoor life which we called "The Real The island was entered In FOR SALE--House Tracer, Itvgt enough for a small family.

We were to feel its heat and hear its roar before we should leave. The "Waubic" landed at Rock Harbor, Isle Royale. "We transferred our several hundred pounds of equipmnt into a rowboat, and camped for the night on one of the scores of small islands skirting Isle Royale. Next day we rowed six miles down the harbor to the mineral spring I had previously visited. There we found, to our sor-1 row, ithat we had been preceded by a the ftre in our direction at an alarming rate. It was now only a short dis tance across the little lake. This night, after we had cooked our supper, the wind began to rise. We could hear a faint undercurrent of roar from the fire. Ashes, which had been falling around us for days, became larger and thicker. Whole charred leaves were falling from the sky. Now the sky began to grow bright, the wind stronger. Finally the sky was a hot orange color in a direction paralleling our only trail to our boat. . We feared that a shift of wind would make our position very precarious, so, taking only the cameras and blankets, we fled.

There were tF3ffk§ of moose, but we saw no animals, Next day went again, with tlie same result. We were. very discouraged. But there were fresh signs of moose, anij we cided that if we were to .see tihem VP* must camp right at the lake,, we took supplies for twtt days, a half pup tent and mosquito netting for a leanto shelter, and again went to the lake. Near evening a cow moose and her [?°?se, gashed in the lake, iaftd gave calf splashed into the lake, and the j nose-clearjfig snorts as they mother practically submerged to feed'"'"" J 1 once, to take a picture of the smoke and • light. Thefi the wind began to blow the fire and smoke in the opposite direction. The light in the sky lessened. We followed the meager trail by flashlight and reached our main camp. All the night I was wakeful, rising often to npake sure the fire was no closer. It was hours before we could be sure we might not have to take to the boat. But next morning the sky was clear, the wind was blowing the ftre away from us, and we went back to the lake and spent two days and nights there. ' There were moose there now. At night a fine bull blundered into oui j camp and stopped not more than twen-' ty feet from our shelter, which -a8' neat & moose trail. Moose mak^ VTell-worn trails through the to&Ods exactly as do cattle. We shot a flashlight beam upon him. His eyes reflected the light like two mirrors. Blinded, he stumbled twajr, then ran clashing through the brush. All night For the HOTTEST MUSIC Come To On U.

Oe^SoiAe Good Moyies Next Wtirhing we obtained some good mdViteS of £ bull,moose at close range. Ih the afternoon the cow and her calf carrie again, and we photographed them, thife.time together. In writing, all this se^ms easy. Actually it was a full-time job, taxing every vestige of patience. That evemng the sky was red again, but not alarmingly so. As we prepared for bed, moose were still in the lake. Suddenly a sharp chorus of yipyip- yip-yr-r-r-r's echoed through the woods. Two wolves were chasing a rabbit or some small animal. They; could not have been more than onej hundred fifty yai-ds away when their howls ceased as suddenly as they had j begun. Though we had enjoyed the | howl of wolves, we heard no more this night. Doubtless they had caught our scent. They are not dangerous in! summer. Even in winter, tales of; their danger to man have been greatly exaggerated. Next day the wind had changed I again and the air was full of smoke. Phdtoj^Taphy was out of the question' and, besides, our food was gone. It J was time to return to our main camp,| so we put our equipment in our back-" packs and hiked to our main camp. 1 The wind was again in our direction, and the sky was blackN with smoke. Now we could hear a steady roar, much as one hears when within a few hundred yards of Niagra. The fire was really coming, this time! Just then a boat of the Michigan Conservation Department came through the smoke. They had been worried about us, and had looked for us the day before. As we had already decided to leave immediately, we were glad to accept their offer of a tow as far as their camp. That night ashes were again falling on oar tent, but this ^ time they Were small and cold. But our time was up, we had obtained our pictures,--or some of them, and fire conditions surely would not quickly improve. Next day the "Waubic" took us back to Port Arthur. Leisurely, this time, as a rest from the strenuous days behind, we drove home.
