THE MAGDALENS ROM Perci? to the Magdalens by sea is about a hundred and twenty miles, but lacking a proper vessel ^ve were forced to return to Dal- housie and there take the Inter- national Railroad to Pictou, where a weekly steamer leaves for Prince Edward Island and the " Madalenes," as the natives call them. The journey is possessed of both present and historic interest, and the hospitality for which the residents of Pictou are noted assures one of a pleas- ant stay in their picturesque little town. Here I met a veteran ornithologist—James McKinlay—who, although over threescore and ten and isolated from others of kindred tastes, still possesses the enthusiasm of the geniiine naturalist. His collection, the greater part of which he has presented to the Pictou Acad- emy, contains, among other birds, a Brown Pelican, a Corncrake, and a Chuck-will's-widow—all shot in the vicinity. The Magdalen steamer is neither a yacht nor an ocean greyhound, but answers very well for the short voyage of a hundred and fifty miles across the gulf. Pictou was left at noon, and the following morning we awakened to find the steamer at anchor 146.
