supposing the obstacle to which is seldom the case. If driven against heavy pack ice she rises on top of it, then from her extreme narrowness forward she has no weight to bear it down,consequently she stays there until with {jackscrews she is backed down into her more congenial element. As I said before, | look upon her as a model to avoid in the construction of an ice steamer. ‘The difficulty is not to be over- come by butting at it—it must be surmounted, To effect this you must have & vessel so modelled that she will glide up on the ice witheut concussion, and have weight sufficient forward to bear it down.

The Newfoundland sealer is the only boat at all adapted for ice navigation, but she is constructed so as to be able, to some extent, to encounter the ice which she meets in ber. search for seals, but chiefly with a view to carrying capacity, as 1t 1s evident there would be no advantage in successfully combatting the ice and gaining the sealing grounds # she had no room for them when she got them—hence weight, power and strength are subordinated to carrying capacity.

In the navigation of the Straits, where, in the narrewer parts, a round trip might be made daily, and sometimes several trips, moderate freight room would suflice, and the three great desiderata, weight, power and strength, might have first considera-| tion

Take the model of a sealer, modify and improve upon it, as may readily be done when building a vessei solely for ice navi gation. Let her be faithfully built, give her weight, power and strength in abund- ance, and | venture to record the opinion that the problem of winter navigatiun is solved, provided she berun at the proper | point; and where is the proper pom:? I hear many say. Well, there are many opinions, and they vary pretty much in accordance with the residence on the coast of those who lold them.

Georgetowa is a most convenient port for the early part of the winter, but 1 think exmerience has shown that for midwinter it

t the point. The distance to Pictou is great, the conformation of the coast to the eastward is such that a funnel is formed which fills with ice when the wind is from the east or northeast, and owing to the obstruction formed by Pictou Island it is not so constantly on the move as it is at the western end of the straits.

Many years ago (I think in 1867) when I was amember of the Local Legisiature, | | got a committee appointed to inquire into the practicability of running a winter steamer. As chairman of the committee, I had all the work to do—in fact my col- leagues laughed at the idea—and in pro- curing the necessary information for a re- port, 1 interviewed, among others, my old friend, Capt. A. Irving. In answer to my question—where would be the best point to run a steamer—he said “between the Capes.” I was inclined, as many now are, to sheyt in derision, and to say ‘“‘there is nothing like leather.” Additional knowl- edge and experience have shown me he was right, and I have no hesitation, for many reasons, in saying that between the Capes is the proper point.

In the first place, the distance across is so short that the whole course is in easy view from the masthead before starting- a man-

*ifest advantage—and in favorable weather several trips a day might be made which would be an immense benefit im the mztter of freight. Secondly the ice is not so heavy as at the eastern end, gnd it is constantly on the meve, and thirdly, the ice boats which would accompany the steamer would have no distance to go, and could easily make the shore if the steamer should happen to meet with ice heavy enough te obstruct her.

‘‘Look at that ice! Was there ever a steamer built that could face it?’ I have heard many say iv crossing at the Capes. No! I am free to admit there never was a steanier built that could face it, but that a steamer cannot be built that can face it, { am ky ‘no weans prepared to admit; on the contrary I am convinced that a steamer can be built that will, except on rare occasions, make daily trips between the Capes.

But let her run where she may, she must be built, the people of this Province will be content with no such makeshift as pro- posed by the Minister of Marine, and which
