A Trip Ur Lake Superior.
WRITTEN/ FOR THE EXPOSITOR.
j I ;
Saturda), the 15th inst., we shdok
the dast of the County of Huron from
our feet, and, taking jpassage on board
the steamer Manitoba Of the Beatty Line,
we sailed for I:4114th. The) passenger •
list was not a very large one, but the
. whole formed as agreeable, social and
jolly an assemblage, as it has been our
lot to fall in with. The party was com-
posed of ladies and gentlemen from Lon-
don, Brantford, Toronto and other places.
The Manitoba had in tow a dredge, two
Urge Band barges, and. a fishing boat,
and was accompanied by a trim, fleet lit.
tie tug. The tug, dredge and the scows
were for Fort William, and were going
up or the purpose of engaging in the
work of dredging oat it sand bar in the
.1
mouth of the Canunistiqua River, of
"-which we shall say more further
on. The fishieg beet was ithe property
of a Goderieh fishermen, who, with his
outfit, was bound for a.point called Cape'
Garganteatt in search of new and. more
profitable fishing grounds. The tug i4
front, the Manitoba second, the dredge
and the two scow's following behind,
With the neat little fishing boat bringing
up the rear, composed' a fleet which, es-
pecially at night, mud have made 'quite
an imposing appearance. With thie
heavy tow in rear, in addition to an • ue-
usually heavy load of freight, the steam-
er made very slow progress, averaging
about six miles an hour. This, of course,
made the passengers somewhat restive,
and during the first day or two of the
voyage the many anathemas hurled. at
"the old dredge, must have brought a
frequent ismile to the lips of the pre-
prieltor, a Captain Murray, from St.
Catherinesewho was on board, and -who
was, at that time, not known to the
'other passengers. Mr. Murray, who has
the contract of this work is, apparently,
a shrewd, intelligent business Man, and
if there is any money to be made out of
the job, the captain is the man to make
it. But, it was ultimately found that
the dredge, instead of proving a curse
and a bar to pleasure, turned out to
be a blessing in disguise, and the very
thing whieh rendered the trip even more
pleasant than it would otherwise have
been, as, in order to secure its safe de-
liverance, the steamerhad, during the
whole route'to keep close to the north
shore of Lake Superior, and the pas-
sengers were thus afforded the privilege
of viewing many beautiful and romantic
spots, which, had it not been for the
dredge, would have been passed at too
great a distance for observation. On
- Saturday Kincardine Enid Southampton
were passed, but the steamer did not call
at either of these ports. In order to save
time the tug struok out with the mails,
and took out and in passengers to the
steamer. Sunday the whole day was
spent out of sight of land, and this was
• certainly the most monotonous day of
the trip. The venous groups or parties
which composed the while patty of ex-
cursionist!, had not been sufficiently
long or, bearcl to become intimately ac-
quainted, BO that social ; converse inside
of the boat soon became dull, and the
continuous monotony of, the broad lake
outside, without an object either animate
or inanimate to relieve I it was neither
cheering nor invigorating, but the fresh,
pure lake breeze was refreshing, and as
the day was warm and pleasant, most of
the passengers ocoupied seats on the
deck during the day and enjoyed the
breeze, the principal eyents which seem -
cd to interest all alike being breakfast,
dinner and supper. In the forenoon, a
clergyman, Rev. Mr. Preston, from
Thorold, collected the 'passengers in the
cabin, and by the aid of several of the
lady and gentlemeit passengers an im-
promptu choir vole fotmed, which in a
very pleasant manner conducted the
musical part of the devotional exercises,
while the reverend gentlemee delivered
a short but neat and appropriate address.
On Monday morning; when we awoke,
wo were in sight of .Cockburn Island, a
rocky eminence at the head. of Lake Hu-
ron.. We here entered Massasagnm
Straits a beautiful channel between
Manitoulin and Cockburn Islands. This
strait or river is a beautiful stream of
water jetted with pretty green islands.
Here and there along either shore are,
coaster's cottages, the land surrounding
them being rocky and barren, and cover-
ed with a green shrubbery principally
of spruce. In front of many of the cot-
tages are wharves, needy all of which are
piled full of cordwood for the supply of
the smaller boats passing up and down
from one lake to the other. This wood
is cut along the shore,- and is taken to
the wharvc:s in small boats or skiffs, each
boat carrying about half a cord, and row-
ed brone mail. We here met the first
boat since leaving Goderich, being a
large steam berge loaded with iron ewe,
going to the American 'side of Lake Hu-
ron. The cou.se nearly the whole way
• from Lake If ron to Sault Ste. Marie
canal, is out 1 in, among and around,
small islands and rocks, and in many
• places, for mi es, the, conrse is marked
by buoys, the natigable channel being
barely wide erough for two large boats
to pass. On )aessing np this river we
come to the I letere Reeks, a ridge of
perpendicular rocks., forming a wall along
the water's edge 200 feethigh. On the
face of trliS AVAIL WS we pass along, we
can easily distinguish pictures of Indians,
squaws, ships and other objects which
have beenaccurately carved in the solid
rock. By whom or when these carvings
hate been executed it is now unknown,
but it must have been done by the In-
dians probably hundrede of years ago.
In our course along this 'stream, we no -
tined a party of Government engineers
with a dredge, barge and other utensils,
landed on the American shore, These

hewn out of the solid stone. The storm
