Sport in Vancouver and Newfoundland . overrushing river or placid lake. I had FrenchCanadians for companions and guides and theyhave a perfect genius for making comfortableand even luxurious camps; unlimited supplies,for we travelled with two canoes, and most ofour way was over lakes or rivers with shortportages; a comfortable tent, and if we wereto camp for two or three days, my men soonran up a dining-table and bench under a birchbark shelter. The table was always laid witha clean napkin, and an excellent dinner ofsoup, fish, stuffed ruffled grouse, deliciouslycooked, was served.

Theground was always sodden, and a few branches. THE HEAD OF NIMQUISH LAKE
