‘ 4 HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL.”’
The road across Souris Beach is now, everything but good. When you drive over it at high tide, you are obliged to go right into the water; and if you are not a good pilot, 1 defy you to find your way across. A few days ago a party of | four—in two wagons—were coming home when the tide was high, and it was blowing hard, They miseed their way. The drivers were obliged to get out into tae water and lead their horses to the Railway | Station on the south side of the beach. | This is pleasant! Where is W. D, Stewart pow? He was here sometime ago. He is | wanted now.
