Here and there on the broad bosom of the St. Lawrence Gulf are great ocean vessels, which look like toys. It is imperative to change into low gear in order to descend, as otherwise the brakes would be hopelessly ruined. There are the endless mountains and ocean for almost nine hundred miles. Down in valleys tiny Villages tell of the small THE EcHoEs communities of fishermen and as we approach we sniff the irritating odour of drying cod. Presently we begin to ascend an- other mountain until it seems as if we were going to ascend into eternity, and then we see below the world- famous village of Perce. VVe view with wonder the mighty rock and the bird sanctuary on Bonaventure island, thousands of feet below. Then we descend to this beautiful and picturesque village. VV e bathe in the ocean and are almost frozen, but we love it. As evening approaches We see the most magnificent sunset imagina- ble. The flaming orb slowly and in grandeur sinks down behind the ma- jestic mountains, casting its brilliant red rays on the colossal rock which then takes on the appearance of a great Wall inset with billions of rubies, with an arch at the foot through which one might pass into an enchanted world. Alas! The greatest part of our trip has now ended. In the morning we shall turn south-West and homeward. BILL TDAVIDSON, IHA Acad. l 1 - K K .. ,.
