‘Lay by! lay by!’ they called to him. 
     
    

    
     Back he answered, ‘Sink or swim ! 
     
    

    
     Brag of your catch of fish again !' 
     
    

    
     And off he sailed through the fog and rain I 
     
    
   
   
    
     Old Floyd Ireson, for his hard heart, 
     
     Tarred and feathered and carried in a cart 
     
    
   
   
    
     By the women of Marblehead !” 
     
    
   
   
    
     The land on the north side of the bay is very bold, and con- 
     
     siderably varied. The Skickshock Mountains, running through 
     
     the centre of the peninsula, attain a height of nearly 4,000 feet. The 
     
     southern shore is much lower, with occasional elevations. The 
     
     outlying parts of Chaleur Bay and much of the coast may be seen 
     
     to advantage by taking a steamer from Montreal or Quebec down 
     
     the St. Lawrence and into the bay. The boats of the Gaspé Steam— 
     
     ship Co. run from Montreal to Gaspé and Port Daniel, calling at 
     
     Matane and many other parts of the south shore of Gaspé Peninsula. 
     
     The boats of the Quebec Steamship Co. also run from Montreal to 
     
     Gaspé and other parts of the Maritime Provinces. 
     
    

    
     A very good plan is to go from Campbellton to Gaspé by 
     
     the Canada of the Campbellton and Gaspé Steamship Co. The boat 
     
     puts in at many of the places along the north shore of Chaleur Bay, 
     
     and affords an excellent opportunity for Viewing the coast scenery. 
     
     If preferred, the return journey may be made over the line of the 
     
     Quebec Oriental Railway from Gaspé, its present terminus, calling 
     
     at Douglastown, Barachois and Cape Cove, etc.; or it may be varied 
     
     by taking the steamship from Gaspé to Grand River, to see the 
     
     eastern Gaspesian coast by daylight, and making the remainder of 
     
     the western journey by train from Grand River. The railway 
     
     touches the towns and villages along the coast, connects with a 
     
     ferry for Campbellton, and terminates at Matapedia. On the return 
     
     trip a stop—off may be made at the principal places along the line. 
     
     This trip may be reversed and changed as may be found most 
     
     convenient. 
     
    

    
     Presuming it has been decided to go all the way to Caspé by 
     
     steamship, and to return by way of Grand River and the railway to 
     
     Campbellton, a description of the country traversed now follows : 
     
    

    
     Leaving Campbellton at about 11 am. and putting in at 
     
     Dalhousie on the south shore, the steamship calls at Carleton, New 
     
     Richmond, Bonaventure, New Carlisle, Port Daniel, Grand River, 
     
     and Percé, etc., arriving at Gaspé the next morning at 9 o'clock.
