maps also are the St. John River Steamship Co.’s, showing the 
     
     places on the river as far up as Fredericton; the Kennebecasis Steam- 
     
     ship Co.’s, showing the Kennebecasis River as far as Hampton, and 
     
     the May Queen Steamship Co.’s, showing Grand and Washademoak 
     
     Lakes, and the places between St. John and Chipman. With these 
     
     at hand the surrounding topography will soon be known, and a 
     
     logical plan of operations can soon be planned out. There are other 
     
     river steamboats with short runs, and still others that make occa- 
     
     sional excursions; but, particulars relating to these are best obtained 
     
     on the spot. 
     
    

    
     The favorite sea trips are those to Digby by Dominion At- 
     
     lantic ferry Prince Rupert, and to lovely Campobello, pleasant 
     
     Eastport and picturesque Grand Manan (island of bold and romantic 
     
     cliffs) by the Grand Manan Steamboat Co. There are trips also 
     
     to Parrsboro and Kingsport on the Minas Basin at the head of the 
     
     Bay of Fundy. ’ 
     
    

    
     Many of those who reach St. John by sea, principally from 
     
     the West, make it the whole object of their trip, sojourning there, 
     
     taking local excursions and finally returning over the route by which 
     
     they came. Others, of course, make a stay there, and then Visit the 
     
     interior by way of the St. John River to Fredericton, going over the 
     
     Intercolonial Railway from thence to Miramichi Bay and Bay of 
     
     Chaleur, and so on to Quebec and the St. Lawrence. Or they pass 
     
     over the St. John—Moncton division of the Intercolonial to Nova 
     
     Scotia, Prince Edward Island or Cape Breton. Wherever they go 
     
     they will find Indian villages and encampments; and a few words on 
     
     this feature of Maritime Province life will not be amiss here. 
     
    

    
     Visitors who wish to enjoy their vacation to its full extent 
     
     should not make the mistake of taking a flying trip through an 
     
     Indian village. ()ur life would not be understood by a stranger 
     
     who took only a momentary glimpse of it, and this is true in a much 
     
     greater degree of Indian life. The Indian does not live nearly so 
     
     much on the surface as we do, for he is silent and uncommunicative; 
     
     and we are apt to err in judging from superficial observation that 
     
     there is little in his life worthy of note. 
     
    

    
     The Indian has to be drawn out. Gain his confidence— 
     
     let the newness of strangership wear off gradually—~go and be piloted 
     
     by him over many a foaming rapidrgo with him in the woods—share 
     
     a tent with him under the moon by night— put up your own tent 
     
     near his village, and visit his humble little home~d0 all this, and 
     
     you will learn much.
