waters here, and one of these, the 
     
     Téte—a—gauche, or Fairy River, has a 
     
     small but very picturesque fall. The 
     
     Nepisiguit, as is well known, is one of 
     
     the finest salmon rivers of the province, 
     
     and the Nepisiguit Lakes teem with 
     
     trout. Moose, deer and game birds 
     
     are also here in abundance. Guides 
     
     and canoes may be obtained in the 
     
     district. Those interested in hunting 
     
     and fishing should consult Chapters 
     
     IV. and XV. where other information 
     
     of the kind is given. 
     
    

    
     Pabineau, the Grand Falls of the Nepisiguit, and the upper 
     
     waters of the river may all be reached from Nepisiguit Junction, 
     
     from whence the short line of the Northern New Brunswick Rail- 
     
     way leads, and by which a way to these places and the inner lakes 
     
     is opened. In this direction many pleasant outings may be enjoyed. 
     
     To picnic by the rushing rapids, or on a bluff in full View of the 
     
     falls, is a unique experience and one that will be long remembered. 
     
     The short railroad referred to, which connects Bathurst with the iron 
     
     mines of the Nepisiguit, is a regular sporting highway;in summer 
     
     for the fishing, and in the fall for hunting. 
     
    

    
     The eastern arm of the Chaleur Bay is traversed by a railroad 
     
     that runs from (iloucester Junction and Bathurst to Caraquet, 
     
     Shippegan and Tracadie. There are several quiet places on this 
     
     shore that are quite quaint, and suited for those who wish to be off 
     
     the main route of travel. Caraquet is a pleasant little Acadian 
     
     settlement where sea fishing is carried on. Shippegan is on an 
     
     excellent harbor, and here deep-sea fishing and cool air may be en- 
     
     joyed. From Shippegan a crossing may be made by boat to the 
     
     island of the same name, a distance of about a mile.’ From Miscou 
     
     Harbor, at the northern end of Shippegan Island, a crossing may 
     
     be made in quiet water to the outermost island of Miscou, or a boat 
     
     may be taken instead from Caraquet. Both of these islands afford 
     
     the best of wild-bird shooting in the fall, such as geese, duck, plover, 
     
     etc. Miscou is an old French settlement, and from its harbor many 
     
     boats were formerly engaged in walrus hunting. Off Miscou a 
     
     curious fresh—water spring spouts up through the briny sea and 
     
     retains its freshness. Fishermen Obtain drinking water here without 
     
     the necessity for going ashore.
