X xrir. Newport, we could easily paddle up to the station, ])ack and deliver our canoes to the freight agent, ascend Prosj)ect Hill, t:ike our last pictures, and leave by the night express. No sooner said than — begun. The home stretch was quickly covered, and with sorrow W ' e unjointed paddles and took our freight receipts. With camera and plates we turned tramps, much to the distrust and sus- j)icion of certain village dogs, and began to climb the hill. “Upon the shore of the romantic Lake Memphremagog, and amid scenery of the most j)ictur- esque character, is situated, etc., etc.” A second time we quote the guide book, and a second time we vote it correct ns regards New|)ort. W(i were so pleased with the view that four different pictures were taken. It was surely as tine as any we ever saw, ])erha])S especially so to us at this time, because, sitting there at our ease, we could look back on the scene of our toils and pleasures of the trip. Spread out before us was the larger part of the lake, as distinct as the village at our feet, and we experienced the i)leasure of a “Stoddard” lecture, as we recounted our various experiences and pointed out the places. “Along the sky, in wavy lines, O’er isle and reach and bay. Green-belted with eternal jiines. The mountains stretch away. Helow, the maple mosses sleep Where shore with water blends. While midway on the tranquil deep The evening light descends.” The map shows a branch of the lake south of Newport; but the view of it, obtained from the cars as we passed, satisfied us. A lunch, a long wait, tlie midnight exjwess for home, and the beginning and ending of our outing were deeds of the night. “If thou art worn and hard beset With sorrows that thou wouldst forget. If thou wouldst read a lesson that will keep Thy heart from fainting and thy soul from sleep. Go to the woods and hills! No tears Dim the sweet look that Nature wears.” (Exeunt 07nnes.) e o C D s ' ® S rl — 3®— OT Oj „ O-K •= u •!§ Wi.El 3 ' £ c8 2 o 5 •. 3 3 «• 3 w 3 tt) ce o O C S 2 ■ 5 ® a 2 B ••• dj ® ti3 ir- 80 0.55 ® 3 § c s 2 i , - I V JS ‘la Of I .5 os S ' stc ni.= ® S i C.S o “js P ' S ' S § 1 ' “ Eio S =“ c“Sr o “ ■ a.£ L.

Thursday, August 12. It was an early rising, for ive could not sleep ; therefore a stupid feeling possessed us, and “time was out of joint;” but m’G some “re-jointed” it hy a plunge into the cool water and by preparations for breakfast. Anotlier cross¬ ing of the lake ivas necessary tliis morning, to meet the “Lady” at tlie Moun¬ tain House for our mail. VVhile waiting there we made the acquaintance of a member of tlie New York Canoe cluh, who informed us tliat an effort had been made to have tlie annual meet on Meinjihremagog tliis year, instead of at Grindstone Island in the St. Lawrence River, but the Canadian canoeists objected. If a suitable sjiot for so large a camp could be found, it would cer¬ tainly 1)6 a delightful ])laoe for such a j ur))Ose. To recross to the island was a difficult undertaking, as the direct course was between the waves, and too hazardous in such a wind. So a run down the sliore and then obliquely towards the island nearly doubled the real di.s- tance. Skinner’s Island was the next objective jioint; for there is the cave, hollowed out by the waves, whicli is said to have been the scene of smuggling in former days. Minnow Island was then left behind, and a run made for tlie western shore, where white granite ledges so clearly resembled white houses by the water’s edge, that tliL had deceived us when at a distance ; next, to the nearest point, to see what vas jmt down on our map as Bay View Park. It’s a good name, hut looks best on paper. Tlie ruins we found necessitate a revision of the guide book. Then due east was tlie course to clear Whetstone Island and gain its |)rotection. This island is the sentinel which guards the entrance to Phtch Bay. We tried the first farmhouse for milk and water (separate), and got them both for only our thanks. This was the second and last suiqirise of this nature during the tri]). Today,’ for the first time, the wind was too much for us. It had before been too strong for ])leasure, but at this tinie we were obliged to succumb to it. After dinner we took an account of stock in our larder, and found one ])Otato, three slices of bread, half a cu]) of sugar, a little butter, and a few other articles in a like proportion. However, as we had the luxurv of a reed table at supper time, our bill of fare w ' as suffi¬ cient. “Man’s rich with little, were his judiiment true; Nature is frugal, and her wants are few.” We succeeded in getting up shore a mile further, and, on examining a cleared sjiot, much to our surprise we found a camp recently deserted by some Quebec camjiers. ' bey had taken great pains to clear the ground, gather brakes for bedding, build a table (just mentioned), fireplace, and benches, and to fasten to a tree the sign. Pine Point Camp. We set the table for supper, marched around it, ])arU)ok sparingly, retired to our brakes, and “dreamed we dwelt in marble (dining) balls.” We might also add that m-ither these dreams nor any others of the whole trip, not even of our waking hours, were lis- tnrhed hy flies or mosquitoes,—the dread of all campers. Friday, August 13. Our last day ! Hence these tears: No signs of life (hiijiian) in sight, and so we again surveyed the beautiful jiroportions of our table, and ate the rest for breakfast. We then paddled into the widest part of the lake, where the shore “recedes into the deej) windings of a hay;” l)ut a group of islands so breaks its width tliat one does not fully realize ' the distance. First came Province Island, curtailed by the tJ. S. and C. line; then Tea Table; then hy a long circle to the east of Kitterexlge, Gull Rock and Black, over a sunken ledge whicli cost us a troll, we came near to a collection of pretty summer cottages nestled among the trees. Further on we skirted the northern shore of Horse Neck Island, rounded Indian Point, and landed at our first halting place, Sandy Camp. Tliis pull, under a burning sun, proved to be the hardest of the trip, and its end w’as welcomed. One of ns foraged for dinner and returned in such a condition that hun¬ ger wois forgotten for the moment, and the camera was brought out. The “sul)ject” had in his right hand a jiail of milk and a bag of eggs; in his left, a hag of corn and another of potatoes; and from his four jiockets jirotruded two ears of corn apiece. Add to this the marks of the last ten days in the open air, (including a jieeled nose which would give the lie to the “blue liadge”,) and you have tlie picture in your mind’s eye. “Then they feasted, and an equal share wris not wanting to any one.” First, we ate supper for Thursday; then, breakfast for today; and finally, dinner. While thus we M’cre balauciug our accounts, it occurred to us that we could save .a day at the close as well as at the begiuniug of our trip, and as the afternoon was before us for “doing”
