islands which separate the Bay from Lake Huron are rather low, but those beyond, lying nearer the Canada shore, rise abruptly from the wqfer in MACKINAW, Aui) THE LAKES. 235 cliffs of red rock, crowned with forests of larch and pine. Alternately advancing and retreating behind each other as we passed along, before them, they presented a shifting diorama of the wildest forms. The sky was cloudless, softened with a slight haze, and the air so cold that the wat^r used in washing the decks made ici...cles on the guards. Cabot's Head, the north-eastern point of the Canadian promontory, terminates in a range of precipices ■two hundred feet high, back of which the iinbroken forest sweeps away into a wide, rolling, upland region, which is said to be an admirable wheat country wherever it has been cleared. After passing the Head we lost sight of the coast, which trends southward for a time ; but our attention was called to the steamer Keystone State of the CoLingwood Line, which had passed us at Milwaukee, but which we were now rapidly overhauling.
