This coast line must I bo intensely forbiddiui; iu fall and winter, but in summer it invites rest and recrea- tion. We believe there are not more than two or three families residing the year round,from Muskoka Mills to San Soucl. One Frenchman whom we met said it was lonely iu wintex-, but it must be a healthy climate as the Frenchman referred to was acro.ss to L i Fontaine on the nminland. This postmaster wears a "boiled" shirt, and hi^ good squaw keeps his house, built ot hewed logs and whitewashed, scupu- lously clean. Many a white squaw d'les not keep her home as neat as docs this daughter of Hiawatha. Postmaster Mon- ague was deploring the fact tha*i abolc;"| i)f lightning had knocked down his brick ( ^ chimney.

A little pleasure tug hailed us to find oat what was the matter but their assistance was not required. After winding in and out, on and off our course, for eight or nine hours, the little vessel landed us at Pene- tang, where a shaviu<( and brushing up contest ensued.
