Frances, Manitoulin Ulnad, Audi
spent des winters working in W.
A. Mustard's lumber mill here.
A,eked if he had ever been afraid
in a storm. Lpnie treated• ns to hiss
genial smile as hesaid, quite definr
itely: "Never!" Kenny Murray
had said once off Port .Franks that
he didn't know whether they'd
make port or not, but he was a
good sailor and Louie hadn't been
afraid.
When he was eighteen he work.-
ed
ork-ed for Jdhn Bruce out of Goderich.
Once that year on a (trip to Bay -
held huge wave broke (trip,
boat anver .t
d almost swamped it. The
five -cylinder engine stopped and
Bruce, Louie and another band
baled for their lives.
In November, 1912, when fishing
with Capt. Murdock Ross in the
"Little John," they were hit by a
bad storm. Leaving Kettle Point
at 4 p.m„ they had to go past Bay-
field. 'Murdock Ross had• two ribs
broken, bpt he stuck to the tiller.
Allan. McDonald, a 'young lad (who
was killed in aetiorl. in World War
I) had fainted from exhaustion and
lay in the bottom of the open boat
which was leaking badly. Louie
kept baling out the water. They
made Goderich harbor at 6 a.m.
He served with the Canadian
Armed Forces Overseas in World
War L On his return he went
fishing with his brother Jack in
the "Helen MacLeod." And there
were times when they had to Pert
into other ports. Louie explained
that each of the three trout feed-
ing
eeding grounds -Kettle Point, the reef
in the middle of the lake, . and
Point Clark -were 27 miles distant,
so the MacLeods left at 4 a.m. for
these points and in good weather
arrived home about 4 p.m. That
gave them time to make for an-
other port if the weather got too
rough. On one occasion in Novem-
ber, 1919, while fishing off Point
Clark, they got caught in a storm
and put into Port Albert with
1,200 pounds of trout.
In 1921 L. H. D. MacLeod was.
married in Port Dover to Miss
Marjory Russell, Stirling, Scotland.
(They made their thome in Bayfield
and have raised a family of six -
Robert, John, Malcolm, Dorothy
Ann. Margaret and Janet). About
this time W. J. MacLeod bought
another boat, "The Barney," which
was the last one built by Bert
McDonald, .Goderich. (He later
sold it to Castle Bros., and pur-
(Continued from Page 2)
down the cliff as far as she dared,
she took off her shawl and threw
down one corner. He was able to
catch hold of it and she hauled him
up until she was able to grasp him
firmly by the arm and assist him
up the bank. He was weak and
exhausted from his struggle.
Next morning the "Maggie
Marks' was seen with her jib -boom
driven so far into the clay ridge
that it could not be freed,
"Israel" Jeffrey, eighty-two year
old Grand Bend resident, who still
rides the waves to steer H. Green's
boat, vouches for this fact and al-
so that he and the late Capt. J. A.
Ferguson stood at the Point and
watched Capt. MacLeod saw off the
jib -boom and install a new one.
On another occasion Hugh Mac-
Leod had taken a picnic party to
Goderich. On the return trip they
ran into rough weather. "Do you
think you'll make Bayfield to-
night?" one of the passengers ask-
ed anxiously. "No," replied Hugh,
"but I'll make Sarnia or hell."
Capt. William L. Ferguson and
the late Capt. Andrew Fowlie, of
Goderich,, fished with Hugh Mac-
Leod off the Bustard Islands in
Georgian Bay during the fishing
seasons in the years 1888-90. At
that time the trout had left their
feeding grounds in this part of the
lake.
Capt. Hugh MacLeod died in
1910, his wife having predeceased
him in 1906. They had lived and
raised their family in a house on
the river flats which canstill be
seen behind the shanties on the
north shore. At one time this was
a little community of fishermen -
"the capital of Bayfield," says
Louie MacLeod.
Hugh McNeil raised a large fam-
ily here and other residents in-
cluded August Tom, Dressers and
Donald Beaton. They had a long
stable and all kept cows, pigs,
ducks and geese, and Hugh Mac-
Leod kept sheep too. The M•ac-
Leods were the last to vacate liv-
ing quarters in this area.
"What did you do when the
spring floods came?" we asked.
"Lived upstairs," replied Louie.
"I mind once the water was so
high that my brother Jack had to
get his wife, Emma, out the up-
stairs window into a boat" -they
moved uptown after that.
"Louie" was born February 28,
1888. He was registered as Hugh
Duncan MacLeod, but his mother
had a habit of tacking an extra
name onto her children and this
one she named Lewis for the isle
in Scotland where this father was
born. When asked his name as a
child. he'd say: "Louie' Hughie
Duncan MacLeod," and so the nick-
name "Louie" remained.
We asked him about his child-
hood. Moorhouses •practically rais-
ed him, he said. He lived with
them in the big brick house on the
hill (now owned by John Lindsay,
Jr.) for three years. They were
very good to him, but sometimes
he'd get hungry for a taste of his
mother's bread and• run home.
He recalled carrying lake water
in a little pail up to the cottagers
in Jowett's Grove for washing.
Sometitoes the people gave him
five cents a day and sometimes'
ten cents.
When he was eight years old he
spent a year with Harry Young,
Goderich Township, and attended
of at Porter's Hill. He helped
he chores and picked stones
on the farm for which he receiv-
ed his board and two blouses. But
there were many mouths to feed
at home and in time of want this
was a help -fishing at. its best is
a precarious living.
Then he recalled how Bob Blair
and Alfle Erwin used to take con-
tracts for pulling flax. They'd
gather up the village boys to work
for them and Louie was one. He
pulled flax for fifteen cents a day
and twenty-five cents a day was
the most he ever earned at that
job.
Sometimes in the winter he'd
earn a few cents putting snow on
the bridge for the sleighs.
At twelve years of age Louie
was fishing with Kenny Murray,
Bayfield, out of Port Franke. And
thereby hangs •a tale: George
Smith, Kettle Point, had bought
from the Reid, Wrecking Co. an
English Ritchie compass which
.had ,been salvaged from an old
schooner, "John Kelderhouse,"
Which was wrecked in Lake Super-
ior. Young Louie learned to steer
George Smith's boat by this com-
pass. And' when hire "I•lelen Mad-
teed
adLeed '1,./" Was completed, Louie
!bought the Cetrnitaslt for .$20.
