The larger river packets do not attempt to go through these rapids and travellers are trans ferred at the head to smaller boats which shoot the rapids in safety. Freight boats and other large craft which find it desirable to pass down the river go through the lock canals cut around the rapids. At the head of ! the Lachine rapids on the Canadian side of the river, stands the historic old l residence of Father La Sale. the early American explorer.

The lower rap | ids are shorter but more rough and l there is only one place that is consid- ! cred at all dangerous for the passenger | boats. All boats, of course, go through the canals on the return trip

 and home life. And it is notably city of churches. While all the sects are
 represented there are many more Cath

 One of the side excursions taken bN Mr Brown was down the river to Que bee. He went down one night anC s spent the next day in that city. Stat ues of Montcalm and Wolf adorn the 8 terrace overlooking the river and the < spot where Montgomery fell, is alsC 8 marked on the terrace near the plair of Abraham.
