November in 1894 (continued from last week) When leaving my home town on the train it was quite a thrill for me, it being a second time on a train. Two years before I had visited relatives in Point Edward. This time I was on my way where I had no time to think about it, the toot- ing engine and the black smoke left behind and each station people getting off, while others filled their vacant seats. All of that was exciting and I en- joyed it to my heart's content, We had one change on the way and a wait, then again in the early morning hours we were again off where we landed in Collingwood in mid-afternoon. Passenger walked away from the train while others had some- one to meet them and escort them to their home. It was another morning and another day in my voyage.

I left my little black bag in he station and went out for a stroll in the village. I noticed a photo gallery—I walked in and had three snap- shots taken. At the time I did not realize that they would not be developed for me to take away so I gave him my home address for their delivery. Af- ter I had left the scene I won- dered if he would sent them, it .depended on his honesty. There would have been the loss of 15 cents, but as promised he sent them on. It was not till my return in the spring of the following year that I saw my- self in Collingwood in a picture. I still have one of them in my possession, keeping it as a souv- enir of my first adventure on that November day way back years ago. When I left the gallery two young mien, perhaps in their late twenties, walking towards the harbor where the ship, "the City of Collingwood", was wait- ing for men to embark for the lumbering camp. Paddy Prew was one and the other Jimmy Hays, both were talking French and talking about their entering in the camp for winter. I confess when I heard the French spoken re- minding me of what I had spok- en in my parents' home only a day before.
