TWO WEEKS ON BOARD THE
SCHOONER ONTARIO.
[Written for Tim EXPOSITOR.]
About 2 o'clock p. m., July 13th, I was
sitting in my brother's boenon the Canadian
bank of the St. -Clair riner, about half a
mile below the village of Courtright, when.
the familiar voice of Captain Frank Gran-
ville, of the Selmonea_Ontario, ,broke upon
my eana.nd cut short the reveries into which
my mind had fallen, as I I gazed upon the
majestic scenery ot the oriposite shore,where
the grassy hills dotted with nere and there
a waving field of yellow i grain, formed an
inconceivably beautiful background for the
panorama of steamers, schooners, yachts,
tugs and crafts of every variety that con-
stantly ply up and clewn the river. The
captain had left the schooner, which was
bound for Detroit, to communicate by tele-
phone with Chatham, on business connected
with his schooner,' and learning that, I was
in the neighborhoI d, he walked down to see
me, with the nnte tion of taking me •for a
trip, as I had vbef re intimated to him my
desire to do so at the first opportunity. Of
course he had no Owner stated the object of
his Visit than I ac6epted the invitation; only
reserving such time as would permit me to
'pack up a few of what I considered were
fitting articles to Serve fora nautical outfit,
among which 1 may mention pipe and to-
bacco and a volume of Dickens to while
away the dull hours should any be, while in
the middle of the ake.
By the time we ere ready to go aboard
of the smalg boat in which the captain had
come ashore the 4chooner had gone ahead
about ten Aniles, nd our best chance of
catching up to her lay in throwing a line to
a passing steanier,, which would tow us at
the rate of 12 or 14 Miles an ' hour towards
our schooner. W.th that laudable object
in view we sculled out into the . middle of
the river, and theilLe awaited the arrival -of
a large freight steamer of the Northern
line. To me was entrusted the task of
tossing the tow line, -while the captain steer-
ed the 'boat alongs de of the - steamer. On
came the steamer, growing -larger and more
terrible as it app oached. I grasped firm
_ hold of my tow li e, and as the big _ iron
monster rushed ro ring by us, I tossed my
tow -line right at he spot where I had last
seen the man wh had signalled that he
would receive and bind it fast. I sat down,
receiving a stream,of water from an exhaust
pipe, full in the face, as I did so; took a
firm grip of my set as I momentarily ex-
pected to be jer -ed over the side of the
boat by its sud4ei starting, when lo and be-
hold our tow lin dropped back into the
water and the big steamer steamed on mi-
nus its prospective tow, leaving us daz d
and dejected with Fwater in our boat up to
our ankles and o rselvea drenched to the
skin. I had mist keri the signal and tossed
the line over ehe s de,whereas I should have
tossed it, over thel stern. This Was esather
an inauspicious op ning of a pleasure excur-
sion, but I was no discouraged. We baled
the water out, str ightened things up, and
as nothing was lef us but to wait for anoth-
er craft we scu1IeI on a ith - the current.
Many steamers nov passed us on their way
un, but none goin down. It was then get-
ting towards supp r time, and as there was
still iaothingin sight going down we con-
cluded to land at Marine City and take on
provisions for ouil supper. Having purch-
ased three loaves 4f bread we re -embarked,
and glancing up tl4e river We were overjoy-
ed to see a steamer with a cigar boat in tow
doming &tern. H re was an excellent op-
Pertunity,and I n ade certain of not missing
it this tirr e, when1 to our dismay the stea.m-
en blew three long blasts, veered round and
, _
stopped at Marine City. Our case was now
getting desperate Indeed, when it is remem-
bered that our sc ooner was continually go-
.,
rag, ahead at tljie rate of_ five or six
miles an hour 1 We had just concluded
to break our loa es of bread and fortify
the inner ma , preparatory to a
long stay, when t4 our great delight a tug
hove in sight, coming down. Again our
spirits rose severe degrees and this time re-
mained up, for as the little tug puffed bf I
toised my line so straight and -swift that it
almostknocked he man overboard. For
_ the first time since startingout we leaned
back and smiled free and -easy smile as our
boat glided along t the rate of .ten miles an
hour towards our Ischooner. Two hours af-
terwards we we4-e comfortably seated at
table on beard the' schooner. Chatting
lightly Over the nisha.ps of the afternoon,
and satisfying arltvenous appetite, acquired
no doubt by our xertions. .
The dusky shads of evening were failing
as we rose and lmounted on deck. The
wind which had ben fitful during the clay
now died gradua ly away. Fortunately; it
lasted long enoub to take us through the
St. Clair Flats Canal and a few miles out
into the lake, where we cast about 10 p.m.
An hour later I was enacting again in
dreams the events of the previous afternoon
only in a more elaggerated form,. The big
steamer assumed tremendous proportions,
and instead of orning alongside of us,
bore straight ,up n us and as it struck'
us arnidship.3, I awoke much relieved
to find myself till safe on poard, and
not struggling f r life in the treacherous
cold waters of the riyer. Soon ' the bright
rays of the morni g sun streamed through -
, the cabin windows and as I showed no in-
clination to bestir lmyself, the cook aroused
me with the neevalthat the second bell had
rung for breakfast. It acted like a charm
(
for I got up, dr ssed, washed myself and
I
was seated at able in less than, ten
minutes. '
I was greatly 3114:wised as I mounted on
deck after breakfast to see Detroit, : not
more than ' two iii1es ahead,tets tall grey
spires cleat cut agi.inst the -sky. The Mab -
ley building, Unit en stories high is the
tallest building in Detroit and consequently
the first to be dist.nguish0 when approach-
ing the city. 'Am ng the, other prominent
sky scrapers that an be seen over the tops
of the other buil ings are the Hammond
Building; the C amber of Commerce;
the City Hall and the Waterworks tower.
The scene as on4 approaches Detroit by
water is truly ama itgly grand. For miles
and miles along he river front on both
sides the docks lane Izned with steam-
ers, tugs and achboners, while rail-
way ferries and passenger ferries
cross and recross the river between
Detroit on one side and Windsor and Walk-
erville on the other Everywhere that one
looks there is continual activity. Noises of
all sorts are heard, from the shrill whistle
of little gasoline, pleasure yacht , to the
cannon like roar iof the great ste,ainer, '
Northwest. Into this jumble of noises and
crafts we sailed, do ging now a ferry, and
I
then a steamer, ti 1 we arrived safely at
Curry & Co.'s deck, foot of Mount Elliot
street. By two, and threes the dock Wal-
lopers, as they 4e eermed, lounged up and
very soon we hail a gang of pretty tough
specimens of humanity unloading our cargo
of cedar pavement.

drifted out before a light breeze intothe

ed behind the horizon and beyond a few
straggling sails, little white spe ks appear-
ing and vanishing at the horiz n, the eye
roamed over an apparently bou dless -waste
of water, changeless but for the ripples that
danced upon its surface. All d y our good
ship plowed the bine deep, guid d only by
the mariners faithful friend, t e compass.
The sun rose high above ou heads and
slowly sank behind the glowing west. Dark-
ness came and the moon clim ed high be-
neath a canopy of stars, sheddi g its silver -
sheen o'er all the lake, and still we glided
on, the dark shadow of our s hooner ever
following like Barn's swan floati g down the
stream of Yarrow. But for tihe rippling
wavelets or the soft flapping of he sails, no
noise disturbed the stillness of 1 the night.
Silently we sped on under the rieliow lighe
of the moop, like a ghost that ii bound upon
some weird Mission, traversing the shades
that separate th n natural froifri the super-
natural worl I. For a long t.imi I stood on
deck admir ng the tranquil scene till my
eyes grew din, when I realized that, it was
time for me o retire and snatcl a few hours
of blest repo e.
A most pit uresque proepect. let my gaze
as I arose next morning ; the s homier was
just skirting one of the many islands off the
West, Coast of Bruce Peninsula. These
islands, ranging in extent from few square
yards bo aleouple of acres, are stied along
the mainland at an almost unif -in distance
of a couple of miles, They are 11 composed
of limestone or granite rock, 1 ough some
have a slight covering of soil o which grow
a variety of trees and shrubs. These bear
such appelations as Round I, land, Rowdy
!eland, Scotch Bonnet, &c., t ggested, no
doubt, byltheir shape, or as i ithe case of
Rowdy Island; by Re having o ee, long ago,
been the scene of a desperate ncounter be-
tween two rival fishing par res. The re-
maining lesser islands are b t solid rocks
ii
that blea h and glisten in the summer sun.
Of these, some rise many f et above the
water, wbile other e barely sh w above the
surface. As a consequence t e locality is
fraught with mziny danger and we were
compelled to take in part of ur sail and
proceed with precaution tirou h the wind-
ing channel. Having once go clear of the
islands, we found ourselves ii. a rock -girt
inlet, at the extremity of w id h atood our
destination, Red Bay.
From what I had gleaned i ca.sual con-
versation with the crew, I b d formed an
opinion that Red Bay was a ir sized vil-
lage with the customary stor s, hotels and
shops. As soon as our schoon r was moored
along side of the rather dimiu tive dock, I
experienced a desire to eep ess my grati-
tude to the captain and the cijew in a more
tangible iway than in words. ,I could think
of no better way than buying the drinks at
the nearest hotel, (sailors solfnetimes drink
beer.) Accordingly I invited all hands to
follow to the nearest hotel, saying that I
had mcniey to squander. No one moved
and "they didn't do a thing but grin." I
was surprised by their conduct, thinking
that I had before me an exception to the
rule, but on enquiring the reatien I was told
that their love of beer had not brought
them to such a deplorable stage when they
would walk ten miles for a drink. I there-
upon learned that there were no hotels in
Red Bay and, indeed, on 1 oking about I
found that Red Bay was repr sented on the
face of the earth by a boarding house, a
lumber mill, and stacks of umber, cedar
posts, ties and cordwood, all axing the lake
and surreunded by a deep forst.
After dinner I concluded to look about
myself for berries or other fruits, and with
that intention I made several excursions__
into the thicket, finally disco ermg a large
patch of the reddest berries I had ever seen
before. I skirmished about, ade a mental
note of the surroundings, ma ked the weak
side by which it could, with reater facility,
be assaulted, and returned t the schooner
with the news. In the eveni g I led an ex-
pedition of very hungry loo ing warriors,
consisting of the captain, In te, cook and
into the berry patch These, with
such weapons as pails, cups and old hat
crowns, lined with green ,leav s'made desp-
erate invaders into the patch nd succeeded
in capturing, with the assista1 ce of myself,
about ten quarts of the precio s fruit. We
returned to the schooner wi h Napoleonic
hearts, proud of our conquest and with the
fruit of our victory lin our ar s. There was
great rejoicing on 'board nex and "merry
was the feast and long." We made two

An account of our stay at ed 13, y would
be incomplete without menti of ur visit
to the post office, situated ab ut half a mile
ii
from the lake, in a small cle ring made in
the midst of a forest. Talkin of the elec-
tions, the proprietor, Mr. D ncan McFar-
lane, a Scotchman and a Grit related some
of his experiences during the polling day,
which were laughable: indeed He told ol
his being aWakened On the ni ht oi the 23rd
of June by cries of Lauri rn Laurier and
Victory, and other cries, emi ted by persons
returning from Wiarton. He also showed
us a copy of the Wiarto Canadian in
which was one of Mr. Mc eil's political
outbursts of eloquence in the ilds of North
Bruce. How the heaets oi his brother
orangemen must have been tirred by his
fiery worOs. But, for all tha , Mr. McNeil
must haye found it a diffi alt matter to
smooth oner that little disagr ement in the
floor of P rliament with Sir C arles Tupper,
for he w4 barely elected wi h a majority

On the vening of the third ay after our
arrival a Red Bay, our scl ooner being
laden with its cargo of cordwo d, we lifted
our moorings, and, with the a sistance of a
tug, got safely out beyond the ' slands,where
we hoiste4 all sail and steered due south
for Detrclit. The winds towards night
shifted so th, and the captain availed him-
self of this change in the wind to visit

we went for a stroll areund the town.
Southampton is e very pleasant little town,
has a 'salubrious climate, and i , moreover,
healthfully eituated On a san y eminence
overlooking the lake. It, has a fine park, a
bathing house and a ma.gnifi ent summer
hotel, while the bank of the la e is lined
with cottages, gayly painted nd occupied
for the most part by summer visitors. It
has several, industries, the chief of which is
to my mind the fishing industr At 3 p.

away, heading straightfoi rive St. Clair.

day morning, about half -past even. The
wind being dead against is; we could not
with any degree of safety make the en-
trance alone„ as we engaged th assistance
of a tug to tow us about al mile •elow Port

where I had met the captain, and where
now I must take leave of rny azsociates. I
gathered together ray na tical lothes, and

They were coming away frem the theater,

who sat in front of them.
"They are evidently married," said the
girl in the Persian waist. "Ir noticed that
they didn't exchange a word lwhilo the cur-
tain was down."
" Nonsense; they are m ely engaged,"
said the girl in the black go n. "1 heard
him tell her that he did not consider the
leading lady even pretty."
"Perhaps they ara merely brother and.
sister," suggested the young man of the
party.
" No, they weren't," said the girl in t'he
Persian waist; "he'd have gone out be-
tween the acts if he was only her brother,
while an engaged man wouldn't want to
leave her,- and --f"
"A newly married man would not dare
to," broke in the girl in the black gown.
"She took off her hat as soon as she came
in," remarked Lee young man. "That looks
as if she was married and in the habit of
consulting the feelings of someone else."
" Or that they were not really engaged
yet and she wanted to show him how con-
siderate she could be," said the girl in the
black gown.
"Or that she' was merely conscious of
having pretty lhair " said the girl in the '
Persian waist. '" Will you wager a box of
chocolates that they are not married ?"
"1—I'd rather you ladies would'settle it
between you," said the young, man hastily.
"you have so much more insight in such
matters, you know."
"There they come now," said the girl in
the Persian waist. " Let us notice what
they do, and perhaps we can decide. If
they are merely friends, they will stop for
cream, soda and—"
"If they are engaged, she will tell him
how hungry she is, and they will stop for
supper," said the young man, bitterly.
