Saturday morning the train (the Imperial Limited) 
     
     picked us up and we began our long trip to the coast. 
     
     Our berths were rather comfortable and the Sgt. had 
     
     a hard time getting us out on Saturday morning. 
     
     Immediately, breakfast, there was a grand rush and 
     
     we were agreeably surprised to find such good fare. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Saturday Dec. 7. 
     
     Everything was first class. Coffee, porridge with 
     
    
   
   
    
     syrup, ham and eggs and good bread and butter was a 
     
     treat, and this fare was served three times a day all 
     
     through the trip, we were a little sorry to reach 
     
     Vancouver. We did not see much fine scenery during 
     
     the first part of our trip. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Sunday, Dec. 8th. 
     
    

    
     All Saturday and Sunday we traveled the 
     
     northern part of Ontario seeing nothing except scrub- 
     
     bush and a few mining and hunting villages, with the 
     
     exception of a nice view of Lake Superior early on 
     
     Monday morning. At 9:30 am, Dec. 9th, we passed 
     
     through Port Arthur and about one hour afterwards 
     
     reached Fort William. Sent a couple of wires from 
     
     there, one to Regis2 and one to lrene3. that I would 
     
     pass through Calgary Wednesday. Everyone was 
     
     looking forward to have a run at Winnipeg. We 
     
     arrived there at 10 o'clock in the evening. Were not 
     
     supposed to leave the station but there are so many
