From Boston there is an even greater choice of routes. By the “All Rail Line” Boston to St. John (daily except Sunday), thence via the Intercolonial Railway to Point du Chene, one can reach Charlottetown in 24 hours. If a sea voyage be preferred and time is not of paramount importance, the tourist may take passage on one of the boats of the Eastern Steamship Company to St. John, thence via the Intercolonial Railway; or he may take one of the Steamers of the Yarmouth Steamship Company from Boston to Yarmouth, thence through the land of Evangeline. to Pictou where connection is made with the Charlottetown Steam Navigation Company’s line for Charlottetown. The boat on the Charlottetown Pictou route is the ‘ ‘Princess’ ’—smaller than the “Northumberland,” but equally well appointed, and the trip of 50 miles takes four hours.

For the tourists who wish an invigorating sea trip from Boston to Charlottetown, the fine and luxuriously maintained boats of the Plant line—the “ Halifax” and

“ Olivette ”——are all that can be desired. From Halifax the Island is reached by rail to Pictou, thence by the “Princess, ” or by direct steamer. The

transportation by all the different lines is thoroughly up—to-date. A table of distances will be found elsewhere.
