Glimpses of sunshine and shade in the far North; or, My travels in the land of the midnight sun . n ex-perienced river man. Everything possible was arranged for our conven-ience. A little cabin had been built upon the barge forour use only, in which we slept. The men pitched tenton the evening that we tied up, and cooked for the fol-lowing day, we just having our own meals to prepare. We left Lindermann at one p. m., and in two hoursreached the portage between Lindermann and Bennett.The rapids between these lakes are much dreaded byevery one, many having built their boats in Bennett toavoid passing through them.

We had walked but a short distance when we met aman who said—Ladies I think they have knocked ahole in your barge, for they were throwing things outwhen I passed and hurrying on we found his words tootrue. This of course delayed us in Bennett two days.My brother and his crew we
