GROSSING THE STRAIT BETWEEN THE CAPES,
(Moncton Trans ript.)
| On Thursday morning it was intended to | have started the journey across the Straits ‘at eight o'clock, but the boatmen declared
‘that the wind was too high, and unless it | moderated the crossing could not be made
at all. At ten o’clock word was sent up
|that they were ready to start. The four members of parliament were driven in a sleigh about half a mile out on the board i The latter were five in
‘ice to the boats. number, each manned by five men, and | one passenger went to a boat, and the mails occupied the fifth. Five boatmen hauled | each boat. The boats were hauled half a mile before the shore ice was cleared, and then commenced the arduous portioa of the journey. The ice was floating in many |cases; and in others not thick enough to | bear the weight of the boat; and it broke |through. For long distances the men had ‘to hau! the boats through the soft slushy snow on the ice—at times knee deep in water. The privations which these boat- men endure were noted by the members of parliament, and will not be forgotten bye and by when a tribute may be of use. Mr. Fisher, M. P., says he saw one of the men in the middle of the Straits, sit on the side of the boat, pull off his high top boots and pour the water out. The thermometer was below zero. The man’s stockings were wringing wet. That the men’s constitutions can withstand such rough usage is aston- ishing. The distance across is nine miles; | but the boats had to travel more than that ‘distance. The last mile occupied ovey one and a half hours; and the travellers were for over six houra exposed to the intense cold of the Straits. Mr. Laurier was much exhausted by the unaccustomed exposure.
