Stephens caught nineteen, while Mr..
Stephens succeeded in capturing only
seven, and all the evening ne was

THE NEW ISLAND wANDERER.
At three o'clock our party boarded
the above named steamer for a trip OF
forty miles among the islands. going up

On the Canadian side, through the 'losi
channel" touching at Gananoque, a
busy and picturesque Canadian town;
then on through a maze of apparently
impossible channels, emerging into
open water again near Westminster
park, nearly opposite Alexander Bay,
returning to Clayton through group
of islands crowned with beautiful and
costly villas, touching at other resorts
before reaching the place of starting
a two and one-half hours trip, during
which we were greeted from both

Such is only two days pleasure at
this famous resort, and the one
hundredth part is only
seen. The beauties of this place are

promise that he would introduce me to
the deaconesses and all others on the
island as a plain matter-of-fact deacon
of the Methodist church, fearing the

Then my embarrassment would

Through the kindness of Captain

calling me "Brother Dinwiddie."
