fortified trading stations founded by ;\ 
     
     Denys. It may be well to note here that 
     
     several places on this coast, though still 
     
     retaining their French names, are now ex- 
     
     clusively peopled by the Scotch. \Vhile 
     
     the scenery of the south coast districts 
     
     does not compare with that of other 
     
     parts of the island, the neighbmhood of 
     
     St. Peter's is a thoroughly pleasant one. From here excursions may 
     
     be made to the beautiful island—studded body of water known as 
     
     Loch Lomond, to L'Ardoise and also to Arichat, I’etit: de Grat, and 
     
     D'Escousse, on the island known as lsle Madame. Here the Visitor 
     
     will find himself in another worldgthe Acadian world of long ago; 
     
     and the quaint life so different from that of a few hundred miles 
     
     south cannot fail to make a lasting impression on the minds of all 
     
     that sojourn for a while in these remote little outposts. 
     
    

    
     The return to Point Tupper and Mulgrave mayibe made 
     
     either by rail or steamer. 
     
    

    
     There are splendid fishing rivers in Cape Breton, and fine 
     
     trout streams are everywhere. Hunting, and shooting of wild birds, 
     
     in season is excellent, too. Particulars relating to all Cape Breton 
     
     outdoor sports will be found in the Chapter “ “here to Go.”
