Show Great Herds of Reindeer. J. B. Tyrrell, geologist, and J. W. Tyrrell, Dominion government land surveyor, have just returned to Toronto from a visit to the far north. They went as far as Chesterfield inlet, on the west side of Hudson bay, traveling 850 miles of entirely new country which a white man had never before crossed. Eeindeer were found in enormous herds, one of which contained several thousand and covered a stretch of country over three miles across. The men suffered great hardships on their return trip, having hav-ing to walk the greater part of the way, owing to the lakes and rivers being frozen. |
