[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.

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.

'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.

Soon the last dark s eek vanish- 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 more similar invasions into t e berry coun- try with like results, and as e could not eat at once what we picked, he codk made preserves of the remainder. . 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 that he c uhnount on his finer ends. I I t 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 Southampton, his home. Consequently, when I arose next morning, riday, July 24th, .1 fond the sshooner in n'outhampton harbor. e all went ashore, alud the cap- tain and I pent a very pleaSan day at his home. Af er dinner, before r -embarking, 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. tla m. we once more got a oard and sailed away, heading straightfoi rive St. Clair. , At whoge entrance we areived safely Sun- 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 Huron. I Was now getting ne r the spot where I had met the captain, and where now I must take leave of rny azsociates. I gathered together ray na tical lothes, and articles, put away my pi e wit a feeling that it would no more be usefu , though I have since found that coal smoke on land as well, and, biddin an affectionate farewell to all on board, left he scene of my many pleasant aseocia ions, nd descend- ed with the captain into he litt e boat that was lowered for the o casio Here we awaited a passing stea er rsuing the K same tactics as before, bu with .
