3 to navigation last month, are just entering on
their summer condition of offering one of the major
attractions of the Dominion to tourists. Vistas of
beautiful islands and frowning headlands present
some of the most beautiful scenery on the North
American continent, while the illusion of sea travel
is given to passengers when for a full day at least no-
thing but water is visible from the ship. Canadian
Pacific ships, traversing their waters weekly, sup-
ply every up-to-date comfort and facility to travel-
lers and remarkable engineering works add to the
list of sights and beauties which nature gives in
profusion.
Often you say "some day I'll take an oeean
voyage," but did you ever stop to think that next
door to you is an inland ocean where for two glorious
days aboard a Canadian Pacific ship yon can enjoy
your Tong -dreamed of voyaet f If you haven't, the
chance lies open to you and you •:::n take the delight-
ful cruise across Ht+row's 11.te .eaters, through the
lovely St. Mary's River and away over the broad
expanse of Lake Superior, the largest body of fresh
water in the world.

It carries you from fort McNicoll to the Bead of the

the Canadian Pacific speed along with all the swift
grace of guile that edr le and dip at the mast heads or
perch and flutter above the deck mile. Perfection of
service adds a last pleasing touch to the meals, the
comfort of the staterooms and the social affairs on
deck and below.
Since the level of Lake Superior is 21 feet higher
than that of Lake Huron the Sault Ste. Marie lock
has been constructed and the Canadian Ship Canal
to join up the two lakes. This remarkable engineering
work is one of the sights of the voyage. Three fine

by Alexander Graham Bell may be
