Augu~t 23, 1934 WILMETTE LIFE 15 TElz:LLS ABOUT 110-MILE CANQE TRIP Kenilworth Boy Camper Gives Intercstitng Account of Strenuons Jôurnoy,.,in Canadiain WildernesM Editor'snote: A in e-da3y 110-mile cqnoe trip in the 0antodion wilder- n.essi inspired the a.ppended impressions set doupir by Warre»î S. treadzuell, 15-yeur-old Kenilwortli boy. who has- beeci 'speuding a. large portion of thé mu.,linttcr at W. L. "«Dike" Cliilds' Owakonse Camps, Ltd., located at Owa- ko>u.e, Ontario. WVarren rcturncd last week-, and. his story of the canoe trip- indicates plainly that "Du ke" Chzilds, zuho is director of. phvsical edcations at Nezo Trier High srhool, prescribes plenty of virile activity for his charges ai the niorthwuoods camps.- -__ By Warren S. Treadweil I like the "Bob" Becker mnosquito oil, and although it smells like lieck it is fine -stuif. I have only used a little bit of it. I didn't take any on our last trip but I sure wished I had! The insects were bad on accounit of the marshes and high water. On a chilly Thursdav morning we got, up earlv. ate at waiters' mess and packed our duffles prenaratory to pushing off on ot'r trip. There were four caniots with three bovs in each ont, excepting two canioes which had a counselor in place of a boy.sternsmail. I was sterns- man in my canoe for tht flrst day until we reacbed French Portag'e. Well, we were towed down to tbe railroad station where we crossed tbe tracks and made our first portage. It was easy as we had belpers to assist us in order tbat we could make French Portage so that the seniors could take our canoes and get back to canin before the next day-late that nisrht. Froni nur first portage we went into a lake called Bruie because it bad been burned out many years ago and that is wbat the word means. It is now a very green. youne-tyrown tumber. rnostly pines and is a smill lake. Froni BruIe into Windigoostigan lake. 18 miles lonz, and then down the French river to French Portage. wbich is a mile and five-eigbths long. It was very marshy and wc- used a wagon to take our tbings across to tht government ranger or district' supervisor station. On the other side, the last out-post of civilization, we went on six miles up French lake into Pickerel lake arnd there we camped on a heautiful point of land covered with virLyin, and the very best, Norway pitie,' rees. We pitched our tents and ate a gool supper of steak -which was only for that nitrht. as we ate it ail up. There were lots of mos- quitoes qnd this because thte ater wvas high and the lands and Portaires marshy. Enter Provincial Park The second 'day we were ut) eanly. before the wind was up and, after go- ing 30 miles tht first day. we were pretty tired out. We paddled seven miles over Pickerel lake around a beautiful island and went to an island called Look-out because. it, was so high. The waves were'bigb and the wind pretty strong so we pitcbed our tents again and rested ail day. Trhat day we saw a long canoe in the dist- ance sailing by.. We also saw tht sul- very painted airplane of a fire ranger as he flew far above us in the beauti- fuI clouds. There are quite a number of these ire rangers in the district which we visited. The district we visited is called Quetico Provincial park and they will not let anyone fish without a permit or, kilI any garne ar aIl. It is a marvelous, district 'and everyone wbo enters it bas to bave a permit. The« third day we got up early and because of the bigh wind we waited until 9:30 until it abated a little and then continued on across Pickerel lake to Emerald isle whicb is six miles long and one of tbe biggest isl- ands in tbe Quetico. White on our way we saw a deer swimming and then the wind cameup untit the wa- ter became a veritabte storm. and wc progressed 16 miles through vcry rough water. Our counselor said that even the seniors did flot have as bad wind as we liad. We stopped at Narrows between Pickerel and a lake called Butcbewauilg and there went in swimming in a cool, refresbing Stream. After awhile we wenton a mile more until we came to an island where we camped again and slept like logs. Twoof the kids, Galbraeth and Falkenbeorg, slept out and were bothered by mosquitoes and were afraid of porkies. Tbey kept us awake aIl nigbt. Get Pictures of Deer The fourth day we pushed off and saw another deer 'sWimming in some reeds near the shore. The kids crept in behind some taîl grass and got a few pictures of it and then it scam-z pered away. The next thing we vis- ited was an old deserted lumber camp with seven or eight log shacks as dwellings. The bouses were decayed and probably hadn't been in use for ten or fifteen years. The gaunt, bare hilîsides and rotted stumps told us a tale that even a lumberjack couldn't have made more clear. Then we came to a heron and seaguli nookery on an island. We got out and, be- holdt bundreds of birds screamed and yelled as we approached it. Tbey flew up in the air and, as we were very interested, we inspected their nests and took lots of pictures. Tbe fourtb day, stili, we crossed a portage 23 chains (4 of a mile, 88 chains to a mile) and I carried a tent which is carried on a tump-line. The two loose ends are tied onto the tent and the otber end is put on ones forehead and the rest is put over the back. It is very bard on tbe neck and back the first few days. Then came anotber uphili and downbill portage, 16 chains, wbich was very difficult and we crossed over into Nim lake. There we camped on an island and I caught five wall-eyed pike for supper. Tbe only trouble was that I had to clean aIl my fisb and the mos- quitoes ate me up. We caugbt sight of a forest fire's smoke, and tbe smoke was wbite indicating tor us that the wood bad been burned over before. The next day it rained and 1 tbink that the rain put the fire out. TraveI 16 Mie--Worth It! Tefifth day we made, over a mile's wortb of portages, 28, 29 and 23 chains, and covered 16 miles be- sides so were awfully tired as we came into the most beautiful lake that I have ever seen. It is called Crystal a nd you can see fifty feet to the bottom, it is so pure and clear. On tbe next morning it sparkled like a. gem in thie brigbt morning sun. On ail those three -portages -I carried a wanagan in which you carry food and it weigbed over 60 pounds, at least. it is the hardest tbingto carry SUEeUC RLE n . . .NG 0 /-sp e sUNN ,AIFLFE on a portage as it is a square. box and the bottom, edges cut into your back. wben the box mnoves on. your back on a portage. Before we -came into, Cryst al lake wc saw a moose about baîf a mile away, silbouetted against the green. weeds in the water and a deer witb bim about 10 yards aWay. Before we went to sec tbem, bowever, we visited an Indian tepçec made entircly out of potes and grass and as an outside covering, great long strips of Norway pine bark. In Crystal lake we camped for two days and I caugbt tbe, only fish caugbt wbile there on my very first nigbt we stayed there. It weighed about three pounds. .Reach End of Trail The eip'th day we pulled out again and avoided two portages by poling througb bigb weeds as tbe water was higb and we could do it easily. Tben came a 65-chain portage, our most dificult. and we ate luncb on the side of it. Near the other side was Camp Kawene (on a big lake called Eva) iust started with twelve boys and we visited theni for baîf an bour and then went on four miles to another portage whicb went almogt straieht inr and straight down. That com- pleted our trip as far as away from civili7ation was concerned, and we o)addled 6 more miles to French Port- ape wbere the governrnent station is. We pitcbed our tents and campcd there that nigbt and tbe next day were up early. Wc met the juniors who wcre to take our canoes and then started back for camp. Along the trail of lakes back to camp we saw another moose in the distance, and a buck wbicb was very beautiful 1 got back in camp after a fine trip. Chd'lbristian Science Charches "Sont" wastbe subject of the les- son-sermon ini aIl Cbu'rcbcs of Cbrist, Scientist, on Sunday, August 19. The golden text was, "Cause, me to hear tby loving kindncss in the morning; for in thce do I trust:1 cause me to know the way wbcrcin I should waik; for I lift up my sout unto thee" (Psalnis 143: 8). .Among tbe citations wbich coin- prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "I will ex- toi tbee, my God, O King; and I wil bless thy naine for ever and ever. Every day wilt I bless thee: and I wilI praise tby naine for ever and ever. All thy works praise thee, 0 Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee.J Thy kingdom is an everlasting king- dom, and tby dominion enduretb througbout aIl generations" (Psalms 145: 1, 2, 10, 13). The lesson-sermon also. included the following passages froin the Christian Science textbook "Sciencel and Healtb, with Key to the Sàrip- turcs," by Mary Baker Eddy: "We cannot deny that life is self-sustained, and we should ýneyer deny the ever-, lasting barmony of Soul, ýsimàply be- cause, to the mnortal senses,ý there is seeming discord" (p. 390).
