enters the Saguenay just above the village, and 
     
     puts on a white bridal-fall in honor of its union 
     
     with the stern Saguenay. 
     
    

    
     On the way from Tadousac to Chicoutimi, 
     
     the mouth of the Marguerite River is passed. 
     
     This river is distant from Tadousac about 14 
     
     miles, and it has a beauty of its own claimed by 
     
     some to compare with that of the larger river, 
     
     but, of course, on a smaller scale. The scenery 
     
     is romantic in the extreme. Swirling eddies and 
     
     foaming rapids turn sharply around the high 
     
     cliffs, which are water—worn and smooth below from the action of 
     
     the dashing foam. Here and there are quiet pools, deep and silent; 
     
     and some are in almost perpetual shade from overhanging cliff and 
     
     woodland.

     Some seventeen miles above stands Cape Eternity, with 
     
     Eternity Bay between it and the giant twin-brother Cape Trinity. 
     
     Many have felt that here the ‘climax of the awe-inspiring scenery of 
     
     the Saguenay is reached.' A huge wall of limestone here towers up 
     
     and projects boldly over the river. Those who pass beneath it give 
     
     a shudder of apprehension as they realize that a fall would mean 
     
     annihilation for all below. The great column has been likened to a 
     
     colossal stairway of three enormous treads, fit ascension to the clouds 
     
     for the giant gods of the early Indian’s dream. Cape Eternity is 
     
     1700 feet high, and Cape Trinity 1500 feet. These enormous bulwarks 
     
     of rock are stern and grand in the awful majesty of their height and 
     
     power. As the eye soars upward, the pine—trees that have gained a 
     
     foothold in the fissures serve to accentuate the prodigious heights, 
     
     for onward and upward they loom until lost as specks of nothingness. 
     
    

    
     As Chicoutimi is gradually neared, the water of Ha-Ha Bay 
     
     opens up on the south. It received its odd name from the peals of 
     
     laughter indulged in by the early 
     
     French explorers who took it for the 
     
     main channel of the river, and who 
     
     found their mistake when they 
     
     reached the end of the cul-de—sac. 
     
    

    
     In and about Chicoutimi and 
     
     the neighboring villages are numer- 
     
     ous places of great interest; and 
     
     doubtless many who visit this district 
     
     will wish to go part or all the way to
