July 6th. Left Amherst. crossed over to Grand Entry, 21 miles; a poor harbour here. Next day Mr. McPheii kindly told me to use his mooring further up from the en- tance. I did so but she touched bottom at low tide and I was oblig- ed to remain on board all the time. I was here until the 24th with a steady siege of southerly winds and dense fog. I had a. new iron tiller made here, the other being too short. This day was fine and clear with moderate variabie winds.
I left Grand Kitty at 1.15 p.m. for Fox Bray. Amicosti, 110 nautical miles. As I turned the north east point of the Island I passed a flock of fishing boats going in, whose oc- cupants heartily waved thelr-south- westers or Cape Ann's. good honest brothers of the sea. I waved back and headed for N. E. point of Brion Island which 1 passed at 4.46 pm. and shaped course for Heath Point light, Antioosti (the land of my birth). Course N by E :24 E., still calm and fine with a little olveil from S. W.
7.15 I stopped to fill tank, grease motor and secure all for the night; started motor again and sat on the water keg. At 8.15 two pas- senger liners passed me. one out- ward and one inward bound. They were close to me, passengers lined the rails from end to end 0: the ship and never saw so many caps. hats and handkerchiefs in the air at once in my life before 0 C U

At 10.30 I saw a cluster of light bearing down on me from the N.W I watched our angle and found that she would pass across or ahead of me; when she did it was too dark to see her and harder still for them to see the water bug to the east of them. I know now that I was clear of this ship- ping lane and felt easier in case of fog. as I was not equipped for fog signals.
But just then along came a school of thrashcrs (9. shark-like fish) about 8 to 10 feet long and very swift. I have seen these chaps often at sea jump clear of the wa- ter. These fish delight in chasing fishing boats and cutting all sorts of capers,-rushing at the boat. slipping under the keel, jumping clear of the water astern. ahead and on either beam. splashing wa- ter on board a-plenty.
I was a little worried that they would strike my propeller or rud-
der and put it out of action. They chased me fifty miles. Thought to myself. "Don't you
fellows ever get tired or take a nap?" They left me at daybreak. U 0 0
At midnight calm; heavy bani; ahead, arc shaped. running north and south. The N. end meeting the water directly ahead. The upper part of the bank -was studded with stars that at times looked like lights in windows on the side of a hill. I never saw stars look more beautiful. I had -13. good op- portunity to observe them as I was steering by the Pole star. I had an electric bulb in the binnacle which was too strong and caused my head to ache, but while I sat there watching the stars and their wonderful performance: I noticed that when heading on my course N. by B. 3-4 B the Pole Star was just touching the foremost head. so I placed a bag over the compass and steered by Polaris as I watched that star-studded bank that hung over Antimsti. The readers may imagine the thoughts that passed through my head oi the days gone by and half of our dear ones, including Mother and Father who had passed on to their eternal rest; also the thoughts or their parents who had landed on that barren Island with them in 1872 under tragic circumstances and what they endured during their first winter there. 0 U 0
All at once , as if to break my reverie, I observed an intermitt- ant spark appear on the water apparently so yards ahead and in my line of course. just ticking lights or 1 and is minutes inter- vals; so I knew that it was Heath Point Light I saw coming to meet me on the wings of a mirage. That light was yet 45 nautical miles away whereas the new light in clear weather is visible at 17 miles only. -
A little later as I was watching the stars and the bank ahead, tvio stars separated themselves from a cluster of others and came down close together and lit on the water directly ahead, and in the same spot where the light vanished. These two stars just twlnkled there. apparently as a guide. and . malned there until daylight broke, when they too dlsappee ed with the multitudes of others above them.
The scene changed and the bank of mist settled on the face of the -waters, so dense that I could not see the length of my boat around me.
O I I
At s uh. I stopped to oil motor and refill tank, then proceeded un- til 1 am. and stopped again. Could hear no fog alarm. I learnt later that the alarm on Heath Point was sounded only when re-
on
as the main dripping shifted to the north of the Island. I rounded and found 24 fethomr. then altered course a little more northerly to avoid the reefs around the Lighthouse point. Mist still dense. i ran on slowly. Pre- sently I saw bottom. and running into I feet of water stopped her close in the shore. could hear the wash on the shore close by now. I felt I weaknua coming over me and remembered hevim sat at the wheel without food for in hours and no eleqr for 30 hours. I eta a piece a biscuit and econ felt better.

This book can be more helpful than your best neighbor, for few neighbors could have such know- ledge of nearly any sort of work the average man may undertake in his evenings or when retired. It deals with construction.
It tells how things are made, fences, fireplaces, terraces. gar- den pools, gates. tree wells, or- bors, etc. It is a helper for the man who can call himself a home mechanic, those who like to make things for the fun of it and be- cause they cannot afford to en- gage a professional workman. In this modern age the backyard has become the summer livingroom. and the more equipment it pos- seses the more enjoyment can be had. Almost any adult can take this book and by following the clear concise directions build any-
thing from arose trellis to a gar-
age. The first chapter deals with driveways, all types. and. IS in every case, the authors have given full attention to the choice of materials. Indeed the reader will observe that choice of the right mnteriglg has a great deal to do with the endurance and service

ways becoming steeper, news- papers using smaller print and people mumbling under their
breath. It ends with the writers' sympathy for poor old George. Then he sees his own reflection in the mirror and knows they are not using the same kind of glass. A good laugh is worth a dollar? Then this book is a fine invest- ment.
