Peculiar Thrill. Glimpses of wild life like this add intensely to a motor trip through Canâ€" a2da along the Transâ€"Canada highway. Traveling through the parks, ons exâ€" pects to see quantities of game, as the pirks are game sanctuaries, but out in the opsn there is a peculiar thrill as one comes face to face with nature‘s unitamed animal and bird life. It is nct cnly the western section of the Transâ€"Canada highway that gives an cpportunity of witnessing wild life.

Pkg To the lover of nature, and espeâ€" clally of bird life, a short side trip off the Transâ€"Canada around the Gaspe Peninsula offers a great treat in a visit to Bonaventure Island, just off the coast of Perce. This island is set aside as a bird sanctuary, and a trip around it will show the amazing spectacle of gulls, gannets, cormorants and oth>r species of bird life so thickly dotting the landscape that in places it looks as though a snowstcrm had passed over, almost completely covering the earth. Along the rock ledges the birds are berched in rows that suggest they were uniqu? spi?tctacies of a river full cf huge on their way up to the spoawning 3rounds. One cf cur party waded in and grabbed a huge salmon by the tail ainrd brought it on shpre. We had read of the salmonâ€"catching wheels estabâ€" lished along the river that picked up the salmon and dropped them on land, but this sounded like a fairy tale until we saw the crowded waters filled with these huge travellers working their way up toward the headwaters.

Ths season was advanced far enough for the wild ducks to be mothering their broods of babies, and nearly every slough had its familâ€" ies, who, sensing the fact of its being a close season for game, were utterly indifferent to the presence of the m:sâ€" tor car, and time after time we were eccmpelled to pull up sharply to prevent cur running into a fiock of baby ducks. about the terrible monotony we would experiences in travelling across the attack a light, but he said: "Turn out your lights and blow your horn, and the mcoss will wandsr back into the Brunswick, Hon.
