1t is good to get back to beef
steak and bathtubs and bread and
clean linen. 1t is good to be civ
ilized again, good even to exchange
the peace of the lakes for all the
confusion of civilization. And yet
it is good to look back on that trip
through the country abounding in
beauty and the romance of two
centuries, to look forward next
year to another trip exactly the
same and yet entirely different. 1t
is good to know that up in the
boundary waters the wilderness is
waiting, the patience of deep still
waters, the silence of the lakes,
the peace of the pines

point out the sheer rock weathered
into something like the grinning
face of a totem mask. And just
beyond another rock. curiously
stained, has exactly the supercilious
expression of old Rameses. Then
Sagonagaw, the lake of many isles
and bays. That is where we mean
to go next time and lose ourselves
a week or so.
It was in Sagonagaw on the
way back we met the Minneapolis
party, in two canoes, journeying
happily without guide and trust
ing to kind providence to find the
way. Holy smoke" we heard
them say, Women!" And they
reached for the cameras. Half
way through Sagonagaw you turn
to the south in one of the least of
the bays and come to the falls that
form the outlet of Maraboeuf. If
the Minneapolis party of happy-go-
luckies found that turn, providence
was indeed kind to them.
| Beyond there is desolation such
as Dore might have sketched, for
the fires ran through last year and
the naked granite is gaunt and
bleak. In another days travel
one comes to Gunfint. a more
familiar lake, since it is easily
reached from Port Arthur. There
we turned back; disregarding the
suggestion of the guide that it
would be pleasant for us to return
by rail and Lake Superior, while
the guides brought the canoe back
to Ely. There we camped Sunday
on the sandy beach.
There is nothing more elastic
than a. canoe trip. One can fish
all day or travel from dawn to
dark. Wherever is good camping
ground is a good place to stop.
Ten miles is enough for thousand
changes of scene, and thirty miles
is not fatiguing. There are no
mails no trains no telephone calling
one, no daily papers, no inter
'ruptions. The fate of nations and
the fall of dynasties become of no
consequence. There are no wars
nor rumors of war. And the
canoe glides on.
Broad bays unfold and close
their portals as one passes. Rock
walls open to give passage and
hide it again. An unbroken
barrier wheels about to disclose an
open lake, then wheels into its
place and shows no trace of the gap
through which we came. There is
calm in the groves of spruce and
balsam and peace in the silence of
the pines. And the canoe glides
on.
There is no hunting in this
country, for both the United States
and Canada have made it game
preserve. But deer and moose
pass in a constant procession.
That is, if you go when flies make
them frantic and drive them to
water. We saw one deer and the
tip of moose's ear. But we saw
all kinds of moose tracks, some
