Rather Dull Fishing Trip Has Exciting Conclusion

A few weeks ago i was our of wood that had been cleaned "’5 as I 5“ "he" and thought

prised and thrilled to receive a letter. mailed in Australia. from Doctor J. Sydney Bonnell ‘an old ilth Battery Comrade of 1st Grdat War days. Doctor Donnell is now world famous as a preacher of the gospel and lecturer but he is still ‘Sid‘ to his old buddies of the "Happy 8th". In his letter he told me that he would be on the island with Dr. Billy Graham at Char- lottetown on Sunday, June 2151 when he gave his Evangelistic Crusade address. I was thrilled to receive his letter and to know that he wanted me to take him- self. Doctor Graham and party on a hurt fishing trip during their sojourn on the island. which at the longest. would only be a few days

Some years ago I purchased the property of the \lount Al- bion F‘ur Company that was ac- tive from l9l3 until the late thir- ties When I took it over it was a maze of dry. abandoned bea- ver dams in a wilderness of swamp, elders and spruce con- taining over four hundred acres. his in turn is hemmed in by a large area of spruce and

swampland with the odd hard-‘

wood knoll thrown in for good

.h measure When I purchased this

wig property all former trails. paths

and roads had been acclaimed by Nature. However. it‘s amaz- ing what an experienced oper- ator on a D7 Bulldozer can do. Old beaver dam sites were dredged out and deepened and the alder growth removed. The reflooded dam sites were far better for trout than were the mistrial dams built by the hard working beaver. In addition new roads were built and cause ways constructed across creeks and black mud swamps.

Today it is an outdoors world all its own. When one enters Iris nattsral paradise the feel- ing is that one is far removed from the outside and in a land peopled by Nature‘s children. .. birds. animals. trout. toads, snakes and Miatever else that ﬂies. crawls or swims.

Dcotor Bonnell phoned me on his arrival on the Island and the date of our fishing trip was set for 2.00 p.m. on Mon- day. June 15th. There were to be five in the party. Graham and his 8 year old son Franklin; Rev. Cliff Barrows and his son Robert and . last but not least. . . The Rev. Dr. John Sutherland Bonnell. Mon- day at noon I drove out and checked what conditions exist- ed regarding trout fiiiing pms- pects. My heart sank. They couldn't have been worse. . an east wind. with a tinge of north on its breath and a btidst sun.

I hoped that it would swing my bolero M‘Il but it never moved. .

of its bark. at him as he swept past. None never landed and wouldn't have hurt if they did. They must have cheered and shouted themselves hoarse and the beaver, he'd weigi close to sixty pounds. kept coming back for more. He couldn't have put on a more pleasing show if i had instructed him in his own language for a week.

After 1 led them back to the highway and opened the gate 1 drove back tip the dam to store the boats. I was paddling the last boat past the beaver lodge to its anchorage. or stall. far- ther up the dam. For a moment i stopped paddling and. as dark— ness began to drop swiftly. let the quietness of the night seep in. In my mind's eye I could ‘visualize the two lads standing on the lodge or running abreast of the swimming beaver along the bank cheering him on. I lwondered where the beaver 'was and glanced toward the dam embankment i got quite in jolt. I watched the top of a leafy tree. a good three feet high. moving slowly across the embankment toward the

. just the tree nothing else. For a few seconds i could visu- aliu the shock Moses must have got when he saw the burn- 'lng bush that wasn't consumed by the fire. When the bush reached the embankment it dip- ped down toward the water and i made out the broad. brown back of the beaver. It was all quite clear to me then. He had gone downstream where some poplar trees. I believe they are called aspen in the States. grew and was bringing back the top .of one for his supper.

I felt sort of deflated at the

beaver's actions. lie smut with- in a few yards of the boat and
