~THE GARDEN OF THE GULF.
ROM THE CAPITAL, the P. E. Island Railway, many broad and well-graded roads, andseveral , a small steamers, allow the tourist to visit every
known to the prOvincial list except the killing of large game and extensive salmon fly—fishing. fl Everywhere, almost, the railway reaches tiny 3? stations and more pretentious villages, whence la few miles will place the sportsman by forest streams abounding in speckled trout, or in the haunts of Wildfowl and other game birds. The roads lead, like the StiCks ofa fan, east, west and north, through moist, cool glad-es, and 'dusky‘ forests of evergreen carpeted with moss, trailing arbutus and maiden’s hair, traVersed by crystal streams or embracing deep, clear pools. ‘ I
Almost invariably they lead through such sylvan scenes, fertile farmsteads and quaint settlements to the eastern coast line, where a score or more of shallow havens, reached only by narrow channels leading among dangerous shoals, break the long curving crescent of sand dunes, which marks the inner line of the winding shore. , i V Among theSe harbors may be mentioned that of Tracadie, anciently settled by a portion of the clan McDonald, a few years after the era of political intrigue and governmental persecution which succeeded the battle , of Culloden, and the judicial massacres of the Second George. Many of the descendants of these people still live in the settlement, and the elder settlers retain many old traditions and stories of Highland 1—35.. i life; the unequal, struggle for Prince Charles Edward“ ' V and weird old WOrld superstitions. ‘ '
This locality, and several others on the northern coast, form most desirable resorts for the totir- ' ' ' ist and health~Seeker, are central points for sportsmen’s excursions, are right in the surf- bathing country, and are easily reached by rail or carriage from the city.
