     Georgetown harbor is one of the best in this part of Canada, and as it 
     
     has the advantage of being free from ice for the greater portion of the winter, 
     
     it is the “winter port” of the island. The steamers Earl Gre and Minto run 
     
     between here and Pictou after the close of navigation at Charlottetown and 
     
     Summerside. This is also a port of call for the steamer between Pictou and 
     
     Magdalen Islands. The harbor receives the waters of the Cardigan, Mon- 
     
     tague and Brudenell Rivers, from which the name “Three Rivers” is derived. 
     
    

    
     Around the rivers already mentioned is found very pleasing scenery. 
     
     A drive, by way of the ferry, to Montague River shows a flourishing farming 
     
     country, in which the air of general prosperity is very evident. 
     
    

    
     It is needless to say that there is every chance for bathing, boating 
     
     and salt water fishing around Georgetown. 
     
    

    
     The Murray Harbor Branch, from Charlottetown to Murray Harbor, 
     
     has opened up a fine agricultural district. and one which has many 
     
     additional charms for the tourist. Leaving Charlottetown, the branch line 
     
     crosses the Hillsborough River, over a new steel bridge about three—quarters 
     
     of a mile long, the construction of which was an engineering feat of con— 
     
     siderable importance. The cost was in the vicinity of a million dollars. 
     
     The line follows the southern shore of the island, extending to the south- 
     
     eastern point, the terminus being at Murray Harbor. This new line enables 
     
     travellers to reach many points on the island which were previously difficult 
     
     of access. The scenery along the route is delightful, and Murray Harbor is 
     
     believed to have a great future as a summer resort, the opportunities for 
     
     boating and bathing being all that one could possibly wish for.

     sketch will be found by the visitor who explores the land for himself. It 
     
     is a fair and flourishing country, w1th pure air and a most healthful climate,

     part of Canada that no tourist can afford to miss.
