Added to the restricted quar- ters, rain fell heavily, so the boat had to have the side and end our- tains down, and the suggestion of making pools as to the time we should take to pass various points on the journey was eagerly taken up. In addition, a deck of cards was produced, and three longs hours were wiled away. But it was tire-i some, and at 1030, when we landed at the portage two and a half miles from Rouyn, we were all ready for bed. The buildings are log. but are warm and comfortable, and it was not long before all were sound asleep. Morning came all too soon, but everyone tumbled out and soon were in the dining cabin, sitting on benches around a large table on which the necessities of breakfast. had already been placed. It was a case of the survival of the fittest. and nne’s own fault if a hearty meal was not obtained.

The boat came to our assistance, took us oil‘ and away we went for Angliers. some 20 miles distant. Hope ran high, and it was a care-free crowd that listened to the rhythmi- cal exhaust of the engine; butafter completing about half the trip, it stopped dead.
