ADVENTURE WITH A BEAR.
A FIshIne Trip or Which There Was
One Passenger Too Many.

n Fishine Trip on Which There Was
One Passenger Too Many.
Two men on a hunting and FISH
ing trip in the province Of Ontario
had an adventure with bear which
is described by a writer in Recrea-
ton. They were crossing a lake to-
ward their camp and steered to-
ward what they thought was the
burned end Of a sunken log. 1t
proved, however, to be large black
bear. He was swimming slowly, evil
IDENTITY enjoying his cooling bath,
and in no hurry to go ashore. They
had no weapons and made their
plans to drive the bear toward their
camp, where their guide was at
work, and when within a few hun
dred feet Of his rife all would b
right.
A few quick strokes put our boat
between him and the edge Of the
lake. We naturally supposed he
would turn aside and let us drive
him before us. We were wrong in
our superstition. he swan right up

crawled up on the floating boat.
Here was a nice state Of affairs.
Two men, neither OF them swim
mers, clinging to the end of an up
turned canoe, with q bear in the
center, apparently determined tc
stay there.
"Shout for Tom and the rife,
suggested Bill.
