I Georgiian Bay Cruise <Contimnued) About 5 o'clockwe sighted the dis- tressed crew and a few minutes. later we were on our way back to Fisher- m'an's Gut. -The wind was increasingI considerably,. but being on the lee side. of the islands. we wer e quite coin- -fortable.ý On reaching' the Gut it was evident that a squall was brewing' and that if we- tried to make the narrow p assage again we might bhave trouble. We decided to tie.up at the wharf for a while, and much to our surprise saw, the boat belonging to Lendrum coming in, He had reached Blind River shortly after we left and decided to go after us; just why, we did flot. knowi, as we had given Bax- ter the job. ' It developed that Baxter and Lendram. were flot on MIrendly tloever t wa tm Wtoeat, 80s we nvied ll he rewon boardth Cimex, and had supper. The five1 visiting Canadian fishermen and the skipper 'constituted the first haif, and were served with. an ample supper of canned' soup, wheat cakes, marma- lade' and tea. Scout Don Hall did the serving and was kept busy tbrow- ing wheat cakes. When we left Blind River Satur- day we knew that Mr. and Mrs.' Bennett and Skipper Arden's wife were driving tup to the Soo and'. had wircd them that we would reach that, point Sunday afternoon, and as. Len- drum intended to go back to Blind River, thé skipper sent 'Don Hall. back with bimi with instructions to .telephQtne Mr. Bennett to corne over to Blind River and pick us up. Bax- ter did not seem inclined to riskJ towing us in what sia was running, so we stayed at Fisherman's. Gut that night. -After our experience of Fnr-q day and Saturday it seemed fool- hardy to attempt navigating the Cimex to the Soo, the ignition equip- ment being very poor and the cir- culating pump qipst unreliable.
