Beerblock, "but who cannot be gay?
One must have q philosophy. Por-
ter's philosophy may be found in
his letters. II is because he Is a
true philosopher beneath the hu-

sometimes provokes a strange un-

of a Pierrot who makes others

also points out that the fiords and
bays OF Labrador are Of extraor-
dinary beauty, many Of them as
yet untrodden by the foot of man.
and that the hunting and fishing
are Of character that should at
