The New Era, 1882-08-10, Page 6Notes of a trip to Duluth. .BY A (LINTO1S rex. raises To sing the p i of a trip from Uhn$on to Duluth may be a song possessing many good old notes•familiar to the ears of some of your readers, but still each new or ,additional ren- dering may present.a few features freshand interesting to many, =T a ground traversed consisting 12.miles, is short, co g of but int 2 es, from -here to Goderich by the Grand Trunk, where once on board the " Ontario," the largest of the, Beatty line of steamers, the familiar sight of land is chauged to the. pleasant and refresh- ing breezes of the noble lakes Huron and Su- perior. To take up your space with a de. rcription of .the extent of these lakes would be folly, as their length, breadth and position are well known, or should be, to every school boy in our land. The Ontario"is one of a linof three steamers sailing regularly from m Sarnia to Duluth, t u ching first, on their up trip at Goderich, where we were awaiting the arrival of this one ou Wednesday nesday morning, with itsu ust hick t c omed�l nuctualit ape wc P., Y, proached the dock at sever a, in. To at- tempt to describe the many surprises,'in'the way of attention to traveler's from first to last, would require a larger pr• isuew ortby vo- cabulary than is at the disposals the waiter, 'but thatw�hich mach the most *tug sion, because it continued from our approach to the wharf until we arrived on • the return trip home, was the desire on the part of all connected with the steamer, for the .care and' proper disposal of all passengers, and to give this its full justice the one word, complete, must suffice for the present.. After being; comfortably stowed away in the Ontario with no care or dread of a baggage amasher in our mind, the first sights of leaving land and ap- proaching -proaching Lake Huron, took up our attention,' and to one not familiar with such' a scene, :e re is a noyelty about it not easily described. e motion of the steamer Ontario is eo easy and the progress through and over the water. so quiet that the sense of travelling is diffi. cult to believe, and it is only by the receding. shorn that this feeling is more fully under- stood. The first town we approached. was Kincardine, where we arrived at eleven a.m., a distance of thirty-five miles, where quite a, few passengers joined our already large party. of excursionists. Proceeding further' north- ward about the same' distance, we' touched next at Southampton, whore our numbers were still more largely augmented by tourists and others. A large. quantity of freight, in- cluding some horses which were being taken to the North West, were here taken on board. We now sail out into the lake, leaving behind us the western shores of the Province of On- tario, towards and past the Manitoulinlelands, embracing a steady sail of twenty-four hours without touching land. Thisforms the moat interesting portion of the journey;, for now we really become'acquainted the onowith the other:, The usual amusements were indulged in to our heart's content, each one brimfull and - running over with fun, andbent on not only enjoying theirself but aiding others iu feeling happy. Many an interesting and humorous incident could be recounted, but as they would` only lengthen this article beyond the usual good-natured indulgence of an editor, I -'will pass them by at present and inwardly smile' over them; The first point touched after passing the Manitoulin Islands, . which lie to the north of us as we sail along, is Kilton Landing, on St. Joseph's Island. • Here mails were exchanged, no passengers either getting oft` or on. We then strike -the River Sauble, a' very narrow, rocky. channel,. presenting a scenery that must bo seen to 'bo appreciated in its wildness, if plain barren rocks can be called such, some of them reaching to almost a perpendicular height of two hundred.feet, a few having small scrubby tamarac and spruce • on them. This channel is being deepened by -a-the-government; who-have:-fotertirer d'iredg e - now at work there, removing. ..the --loose. -r-ock- andsoil. We now strike Garden River, 'a smooth, beautiful river, varying in width from half a nrilo to two Miles, which winds its wayin` a circuitous course from one Sault to the other.. Both sides of Garden River aro inhabited by', Indians and half•breecls,who, as each steamer passes their settlement, treat -the, passengers, to some of their native songs in, theirnative tongue, the sound coming over the,watet with a cadence agreeable to the ear, but possessing a weirdness that can only come from the aboriginiee of any country. Hunting and. Etching were the occupations that filled the rest of their time. These Indians.wero apparently ,stout, active, able-bodied riven. Havingpeas ed through the windings and enjoyed the scenery of Garden liver, we than touched the Sault Landing, exchanged ,mails, .transferred quite a number of passengers, freight, etc., tock in a supply of vegetables and other ire cessaries, and then proceeded alinost directly across the river to the town of Sault st'e` Marie, a place of considerable importance.and. really the prettiest -spot in the wliole route. Here coal was the only thing taken in. ' We then, after half an hour's stoppage, struck the Sault Canal, constructed by theAmericans, which is not yet completed, having two•locks' capable. of raising or lowering a steamer eight teen feet, within twenty minutes A short run through this canal brings us into Like. Superior hero we again lose sight of land, for a distance of about 250 milds until we reach Silver Island, ou which a shaft is sunk now to a depth of over. 800 feet, and from which very little ore is being taken at pre- sent, although the operators look forward to a much better yield. The steamer passes be- tween the mainland and this Island, exchang-, ing mails, thence proceeding 22 miles west. ward to Prince Arthur's Landing, a small, but nice little place, and the terminus of the Canada Pacific Railway. This is agreat fish- _ing_point,.speckled-treut-being the principal' taken, some of whish weigh from two to' seven pounds. While speaking here of fish I must say there is as much difference between, those wo had to eat on board the steamer and what we buy in inland towns, as there' is be= ' tween cheese and chalk. Leaving Prince Arthur's Landing, we approach the termina- tion of our journey, a sail of nearly200 miles, and we arrived at Duluth where we could find no accomodation for travellers, and were agreeably compelled, to remain .during our stay of 24 hours on board the Ontario. De- siring_ to sec this town and its surround- ings, we approached a-ffrieiinaiir nrid' lookiug ou him very complacently, told him our wish and asked his 'terms.— We heard him, looked at each. other, and. then wanted to see the falls, for upen'hearing his price' we concluded we-- Lad arrived. at Niagara, instead of Duluth, or that one. of 'the Niagara Palls hackmen had got lost and found himself hero, his natural instinct for taking' in arca entertaining angels unawares etill clinging to him, and, 'thinking wo had=not heard him aright, repeated our.question, and he repeated his answer of "two dollars an hour," and not very long hours, either, wo found out. We had enough in this time, and returned Deng' Ana -Inert satisfying our- selves with watching the usual hurry and bustle -of loading and unloading the vessel, for the remaindl r of the time atour digposal. Here the Ontario left100,of her cabin and 40 steerage paasangers, all of whom took train, w -finch was then awaiting them, for Winnipeg and points west. After tbo crew had'worked all Saturday night and Sunday, unloading and taking on passengers and freight, which were awaiting the return of the steamer, we commenced our return trip, touching at the same points, and enjoying the ,'same varied scenery, passing through incidents' on board as amusing and interesting as going, ,'we' neared home. Your readers may think, horn not mentioning the officers of this steamer earlier, that they: formed only a secoudary or minor part, of our; trip, but my desire to give them the praise and mention they ought to. have, for their incessant care and anxiety for the comfort and-welfareof their passengers, in alt departments of the boat, has been left to the present portion of this article, simply, because 1 feel incompetent to deal with it in words'. to .compare with their kind thoughts: for us,; and, kinder actions towards us. •IN o; one seemed todee favored more than another. A question asked any of the officers, not only elicited a civil reply, but an lexplanation ac- companying it, that: could not help causing admiration of them. on your part, and their gentlemanly qualities and fitness for their relative positions. The names of the officers were, Captain Morrison, a middle•aged Scotch-' man, possessing the,genial qualities of that nation ; First Mate, another Scotehman, can=. ay and careful; Second Mate, JohnLod Mc e ditto; Purser, J. 11. King, an American, very, trustworthy, and having all the thorough businessshrewdness peculiar to that people ;, Steward, James Gilday, also 'an American; very careful and attentive to the multitudi nous wants of the inner main of all .placed ,under -his 'care; the chief and second engi- neers, n h-neere, R. Kenney' and A. Williamson,- both well fitted, for their positions. • We arrived at Unclench ;he following,. ue y, n p.m., ma ing ie ronu trip in eight days, a journeywe would take more pleasure in repeating than any it _has yet teen our experience to enjoy.
