. The Settler and sportsman in Anticosti [microform]. Fishing; Hunting; Pêche sportive; Chasse. fl! !!! !t hi i\ if hi 111 1(1 steamers, the J)ominion (jlovernment is expected, as in previous cases in other parts of Canada, to offer substantial aid. Anticosti is connected with the mainland by the tilectric wire, and communication witli the island is very easy ; the mail packet from Gaspe calls at the principal places about once a week, and with favourable winds there are almost daily arrivals and departures from (laspo, Quebec, and the maritime provinces. During eleven months in the year connection with this island continues uninterrupted, and it is only in March, when the ice is running out of the St. Lawrence, that the passage across is at all dangerous. Anticosti differs in this particular from Prince Edward's Island, which is shut off from the outer world for six months in the year. Exposed as Anticosti is to the full current of the St. Lawrence, and owing also to the action of tlic tides, the water is always open during the most severe seasons. jf, Anticosti, thus, from its position, which is only about six days' steam from the coast of England (2,191 miles from Liverpool), and its varied natural resources, possesses all those important advantages which go to make it a desirable place of settlement for a hardy class of people, who in a few years with ordinary economy should possess a comfortable home, and attain a degree of independence, and even affluence, which they could never have hoped for in the land of their birth. :!i. .â¢*:â.
