The Mackinac Trip.
A DELIGHTFUL CRUISE ALONG TILE
NORTH SHORE OF' TFIE GEORGIAN
BAY.
From the Atwood Bee.
In writing up my Mackinac trip I
have two motives. One is the desire to
have everyone know what a truly
delightful trip it is, and another be-
cause in writing it I shall have faces
and events engraved on my memory
that will be wasting pleasure to me
and that I would not forget.
In travelling I have always been
more or less interested and facinated
by new faces, even to the extent of
mak in r some trivial excuse in order that
I might speak to people whose faces
interest me, and so watch their ex-
pression and listen to their voices ;
and if in this traveller's tale you find
me speaking more about the people
thau the places we visited you will
please remember that no one told me
what to write.
The regular Mackinac trip is from
Collingwood to Mackinac Island, and
is a six days' run by water. I purchas-
ed my ticket of Mr. Knox, the obliging
G. T. R. agent at Atwood, via S.S. At
Iantic, Ieaving Owen Sound at 11.45 p.
m., July 29th, 1 left Atwood at 12.30
p. m. and reached O. S. about 5 p. m.,
where I was joined by Mrs. (Rev) D.
Rogers, who travelled with rne. We
took supper at the Seldon House, then
wandered about the pretty town until
9 p. m., when we boarded the boat,
having been warned that she sailed at
12, so for once we were on time and
had three hours to spare. We were
given? -the key of our stateroom, in
which were two cosy berths, and light-
ed with electricity. Looking beneath
the lower berth that first night for
burglars we found instead life -preserv-
ers stowed away and on the hack of
each stateroom door were directions
for fastening them on, so we felt doub-
ly safe.
The desire of my life had been to be
in a storm at sea, and I am happy to
chronicle that the desire was realized,
and if the salt sea can cut up any more
caper in its effort to tumble one out of
bed than the Georgian Bay did that
night we set sail then I do not want
anything to do with the sea. The first
thing f noticed about the boat's pas-
sengers was that everybody spoke to
everybody else, so that by the time we
thought of "turning in" we were fairly
well acquainted. The ladies'maid who
chanced to hear mo say that I was
from Atwood said she had lived there.
Her name was Miss Rena Pentland,
whom some of The Bee readers may
remember. Such a kind, pleasant face
and manner she has, and I think per-
haps we had special care from her in
consequence of the associations. Be-
fore we set sail a thunderstorm came
up that made the think a little of my
safe sheltered home as compared with
the treacherous waters of this bay, but
when I knelt by my berth side the only
prayer I could think of was that little
nursery rhyme, commencing with
"Now I lay me down to sleep," etc., and
crept into my berth with the safest
feeling. knowing that He who rules
the waves could take care of me as well
on sea as on land. The remainder of
the night was spent in holding on to a
boarding at the back of my berth to
keep me from falling out. Oh, the
helpless feeling that comes over one
when one realizes that nothing under
the heavens can stop that boat from
heaving and swaying. You have just
got to bear it. I was advised if threat -

By daylight we were .sai.ling :IaiQnge
side of Manitoulin Island; where the.
skeleton clay is. seen, • end f almost'
.fancied the ei eleton arms were ttnt,
stretched for me, butttle sun erose and
dispelled all seen uncanny imegine-
tions, Only three people sat down to
breakfast that morning out of a boat
load of passer ars, but abut 10 o'clock
we g !
were nearly all out on deck and
a around getting acquainted with the
captain and crew. If 1 bad a column
to devote to 'the captain and crew 1
could very easily till it, for such fine,
genial, happy fellows las they are, anx-
ious to pay you every attention. With
Captain Wilson, Purser McClelland,
and Steward Tuttle one could travel
anywhere happily ; we were allowed to
go anywhere from the cook's kit hen
where we learned how to fry fish and
bake biscuit, to the wheel -house where
the merry mate,- Murdock McKay, told
us all about the compass, and the
wheel, and the course and all the rest
of it until I thought I could have steer-
ed the good ship myself, with the mate's
help of course.
We had a very funny man on board,
one used to sailing and who knew all
about everything and told some very
fishy stories that stormy morning.
One was of having shot and bagged
3 dozens of wild geese and caught 4
dozen of fish in his boats alt in one
morning, but we forgave hint, he enter-
tained us so well all through our jour-
ney.
That first morning, too, we found
out that our boat until this year had
been called the "Gospel boat" on ac-
count of her crew being Methodists
with Capt. Foote in command, who
now is captain of the Pacific, a sister
ship of the White -line. From some-
thing I heard Capt. Wilson say away
down deep under his breath, so deep
that only the winds and I caught it to-
gether, that she is not exactly a gospel
boat now, but if over an occasion de-
manded a whispered consultation that
one did. At some of the ports our
boat could not land on account of the
storm, and when some of the big
brawny fellows, whose work it was to
catch the lines thrown out in order that
we might anchor, leaned up against a
postand left the wo' k to small boys who
were not strong enough to fasten them
and so let us drift out again, 'twits kind
of annoying to say the least. The first
port we reached was Killarney on the
north shore after a straight sail of
aboat 146 miles up Georgian Bay, a
fishing village composed alinost entire -
of Indians, where we all got off (sea
sick ones much better) and visited the
queer little Indian stores. got weighed
at the fish market, watched them
packing fish, had a view of the Lauren-
tian mountains which rise at the back
of the village, and returned to the boat
with such appetites ready for the ex-
cellent dinner prepared.
Our table runs the entire length of
the dining -room and with the Captain
at the head, the Purser at the foot, and
the Steward looking after our cornfort,
we are a happy family and do not wond-
er that the tunny roan grows funnier,
Just across the table are three bright
merry girls from Chatham, one of thein
is the hungriest girl I ever saw,
and down the table a little farther a
young minister who just because my
fancy work has disappeared the merry
girls accuse of having appropriated it.
%Ve have scarcely bine to finish dinner
because of the scenery we are missing
---winding in and out among Islands,
steering straight for them Always we
inlanders think, yet always missing
them, we 'reach Manitowaning, a port
on Manitoulin Island. One of our
young ladies from Collingwood will
teach here this comingaterm and is in-
terested in viewing her home for the
year. Then on, with beautiful islands
and the Lacloche Mountains on one
side and the Manitoulin Islands on the
other, we go until we reach Little Cur-
rent, an importaut milling village, the
only port on the island where they
have telegraphic communication with
the mainland. Here we are pointed to
one of the two survivors of the ill-fated
Asia wrecked off the east shore of
Georgian Bay ; a big burly fellow he
is, who runs a hotel at Little Current;
by inquiry we learn that Miss Morri-
son, the other survivor, is married and
living on a farm near Owen Sound.
Then on to Gore Bay, the most im-
portant town on the island, where the
county court is held and court house is
built, and here the young minister gets
off in the darkness with suspicion rest-
ing on him still, but we've found out
he is a Methodist, and will try to clear
him in the m,irning; suspicion rests
with the funny man, but we are get-
ting on aheavy sea again and wrapped
in flannels and furs, some of us go out
to see from the Captain's look -out
what a rough sea is and with one arm
around an iron pillar, and held up on
the other side by someone or some-
thing else you soon get used to the
motion and learn to love the roughness,
enter into the spirit of it and wish it
might be rough always, and when I
asked Captain was it not rough last
night ? (he knowing 'twill he rougher
to -night), only laughed at us and calls
us poor sailors, but we made him con-
fess that the time the good ship stop-
ped for a moment, creaked and quiver-
ed, then shook herself like a wet clog
and plunged in again, that it was
rather bad and what he called a choppy
sea.

TORONTO LIVE STOOK MARKET.
Offerings were heavier at the west-
ern cattle yards than they were last
market day, and the tone of trade was
barley steady in all lines. There were
55 car loads on otter, which included
1,800 sheep and lambs, 1,200 hogs and
15 calves. The attendance of buyers
was good, but they operated only
slowly. About three car -loads of
butchers' cattle went to Montreal.
Export cattle -Prices ruled steady
to -day all the way from 4c to 41hc per lb
for choice to picked fancy cattle,
alth- ugh buying was not very active.
Quite a few of the poorer cattle were
left over. Shippers of middling quality
are not wanted and drovers do wrong
to bring them in. The majority hf the
deals were made in the region
of 4c to 4gc per lh, which prices were
paid by Mr. A. Thompson. The market
would have been better for really good
stuff, but not many choice ' offered.
Sales :-19 cattle, 1,275 lbs average, $56
per head, less $10 on the deal ; one
bunch of only middling shippers, 1,180
lbs average, 31c per lb ; one car -load
cattle, 1,200 lbs average, 314c per lb ; 11
cattle, including a few feeders, $3.40
per cwt; 10 cattle, 1,300 lbs average,
41)c per lb ; one car -load cattle, 1,250 lbs
average, 4c per lb ; one car -load cattle,
1,300 lbs average, 4gc per Ib.
Butchers' cattle - Local butchers
were not Operating very freely and the
demand for outside places was light.
Mr. Vincent took two car -loads for
Montreal, paying for them from tic to
3c. and 31c. per ib. Good butchers' cat-
tle were selling slightly better, al-
though the prices paid were no higher.
Not "very many good ones cause in,
and the stronger feeling was owing to
the light run. Prices ranged from 2ic
for common cattle, hard to sell, up to
3gc per Ib for a few fancy butchers'
cattle ready for the knife. ];here are
a large number of Manitoba cattle on
the Montreal market, which fact has
caused a decline in prices there. The
prices given above are a good criterion
of the market, without individualizing
deals.
Sheep and lambs -The market open-
ed firmer, but sagged again toward the
close. Lambs were selling at from 3c
to 3Sc per lb, and not going very lively
at that. Shipping sheep were in
slightly better request, the quality was
of a higher grade than has been the
case recently, so that figures advanced
fractionally, some of the fancy sheep
selling at from $3 75 to $3 85 per cwt
tor ewes and wethers. Bucks brought►
3e per lb, and sold only slowly. The
range for shippers was from 31c to 31c
per lb. Butchers' sheep, $2 50 to $3
per head.
Calves -Not many offered. Prices
unchanged at $1 to $6 for medium to
good veals, and $1 50 to $2 for poor to
common calves. Only good to choice
wanted.
Hogs --Dull. The top figure to -day_
was 5c per Ib, paid for good long lean
bacons, weighed off the cars. Prices
are expected to drop to 41c next week.
Thick hogs, $4 40 to $4 50; stores, $4 2.i;
stags and ruugh hogs, 2c to 2jc per lh ;
sows, 4e.
Stockers and feeders -Mr. Halligan
bought a few, but not many off-
ered. Prices rule at from tic to 21c
per lb for good feeders. Light stockers
not wanted. •
Milch cows and springers -Trade was
pretty gond. As high as $45 would
be paid for really choice bag cows,
cows, but that figure was not touched,
the range being from $20 to $40
each mostly. Some sold "at $18 and
some at $20. Good ones are wanted.
MONTREAL MARKETS.
Grain -No change can be reported in
the grain market. Old oats are easy at
34ic. while new are offered at 33c. to
33ic. to arrive. Other grades remain
very dull. Wheat -No. 1 hard, nomin-
al ; No. 2 hard, nominal ; corn, duty
paid, nominal ; peas, per 66 lbs. in
store, 72c ; oats, per 34 lbs. in store,
34ic to 35c ; rye, No. 2, 60c to Ole ; bar-
ley, feed, 54c to 55c.
Cheese -The trading in cheese was of
jobbing character and •not large in
amount. Western makes are dull at
8c. and Quebec is quoted at 71c. to Tic.
Butter -A fair trade was done in but-
ter, creamery being quoted at 18e.
western 14c. to 14ic and townships
dairy at 15c.
Eggs -Were dealt in in small vol-
ume for local trade at 114c. to 12ie. for
candled and 91-c to 10c for common.

News Notes.
The greatest championship -lacrosse
game ever witnessed in Mitchell was.
that between Georgetown and Mitchell
Thursday. It was the second cham-
pionship game, and resulted 4 to 3 in
favor of the home team. -
Two Chinamen passed through Strat-
ford the other day on bicycles. They
came and went by the Huron road
They didh't stop hut passed through
the town as if they didn't see it, travel-
ling so fast that their pig -tails
floated like at pennant at a mast head.
About two years ago Tams Barrett
moved to Parry Sound district, and
took up a farm in McMnrrich town-
ship, near Buck Lake, Ont. He had
his wife and child with him, and it is
alleged that he was not on the best of
terms with some parties living in the
vicinity. On Thursday, the 15th ult.,
he was crossing Buck Lake in a punt
with two other rnen, one of them a
neighbor named Moles, and in crossing
it is alleged the boat filled with water
and Barrett was drowned. On the
Sunday following the body was recov-
ered, and interred at Toronto. Sub-
sequently it was rumored that there
were doubts as to the accidental nature
of his death and an investigation has
been ordered.
At 3 o'clock Thursday morning, after
an illness of many years, a highly re-
spected resident of Exeter in the per-
son of Isaac Carling, Esq., passed
quietly away at his hitherto happy
and beautiful home on Huron street.
Mr. Carling was'the founder and first
Reeve of Exeter, and for many years
was successfully engaged In business
there. He represented the ridingg in
the Legislative Assembly in the days
of the late Hon John Sandfield Mc-
Donald, and has at all times taken an
active and keen interest in everything
pertaining to the welfare of Exeter.
An earnest and sincere Christian, and
a scrupulously honest and true gentle-
man, is the earthly record he leaves
behind him. Mr. Carling was a broth-
er of Sir John Carling, and there sur-
vived him a. widow and nine children,
