It must have been the sight of some dark ice showing in between the drifts of snow that turned the memory back. This was perhaps the lushest job our geophysical crew was ever on, from the standpoint of comfort and transportation. We were sent to Ma- rAsey to do a magnet- cutter and E.M. survey a large block of .ms which Kerr had ..mer option. The job :qtarted in December .ncl finished about the middle of January 40 the weather was really wintry, Massey being located about 40 some odd miles west of Sudbury. The ground was only about five miles out of town, so it was arranged that the gr- oup would stay in the best hotel in town and commute to work by taxi, rather than go to the expense and delay involved in set ting up a new camp. Massey is a popular centre for tourists and fishermen in the summer, and the hotel was nicely furnished in the modern manner, the rooms having the wall-to-wall carpets, new furnishings and drapes and top notch inner spring mattres- ses. What a way to rough it 1 After a couple of years of your own cooking and diihwash- ing in the bush of Northern Quebec and Ontario, it is not exactly a hardship to have good hot nou- rishing meals served on immaculate tables by pretty waitresses. Expense account meals tend to be nothing but the best, and the company never ever scrimped on food for the field men.

We were. After a good hot breakfast, the taxi would pull up on the dot of 7.30 a.m. and the four of us, eng- ineer and instrument operators would pile in and be aped by a back road to the st- art of the trail.On with the inevitable snowshoes, and away we would go, over the rocky ridgy terr- ain of the Sudbury Basin, a fascinating geological puzzle if there ever was one. Nestling in our day packs was a substant- ial lunch packed in the hotel kitchen, complete with fruit or somesuch for dess- ert, along with a th- ermos of strong hot coffee. About five miles, eight hours and a day's work lat- er, it would be back into the waiting cab and roll into town, glad to unzip the pa- rkas and soak in the heat of the car. Next on the program was to soak in some more heat in the bar along with a couple of appetising brews before dinner. Hot roast beef, or fowl or perchance a steak, spuds and apple pie and coffee would fill the gaps, and an hour long nap on those so comfortable beds wou- ld unkink the knotted leg muscles. Lunches for the fol lowing day were ord- ered at suppertime, to include an extra sandwish and thermos of coffee, consumed as a bedtime snack consumed at the end of the crvibbage game or a session of plot- ting the survey data on the charts. It was lovely at night and hell on wheels during the day. Vertical rock out- crops glistening with ice threatened life or limb of the inept or unwary and the te- mperature flirted reg ularly with the sub- thirty mark. Our line usually was at right angles to the strike of rock, so it was straight up and down all day and a tough place to line up pic- kets. Sometimes you had to sight back to the sixth or seventh back, the others bei- ng out of sight in some snowfilled can- yonlike valley. We were proud of our ability to take it weatherwise, but Jack Kirk and I were almost deleriously happy to quit in the middle of a lake one afternoon when the fluid in the non-fre- ezable instruments went solid at -27 in a 25 mile wind. We hit across country to a settler's farm
