Will I think of the rich, rugged beauty of forest, Of ne,v-.ovcrcd mountains, against star-spangled sky, 1 he myriads of lights through the mist of the evening, The siow-moving lights on the boats passing by? Will I rrmcmber the line in the distance , Ot the sh re of the harbor, away 'crass the bay, 1 he tiplit of tl.e men as they stand there, unloading Their catch of flat-fish at the end of the day? The clink of chains on the boxes of tuna, 1 he rhur.ks of ice as they fall on the dock, The wonderiul scent of the air in the morning, . 'iixe cry oi the gulis as they fly o'er the rocks. There are black cod and rock cod and sole and spring salmon, ' mere are rncneye and ' hump" if you care for that, too.

Ine steam-hip "Chilrotin" floating out in the darkness, All glowing and bright as they wave their Goodbye, 'Ihe iiiout.i "Au Kevoir" and the sadness of parting. But you know they il be back as they play "Aloha Oe." I kno w I'll remember thc drive in September To Ttirace, to lelkwa, by Skeena Highway, 1 hat thrillim', sp ne-chiliing panorama beio're us, Die sheer divp.i so cltv-e on that fine Autumn day! The glistening eye- of a deer In the head-lights, Its si.ery loat a-, it leapt for the trees. Our seriEs and our lausmer; our weariness lifting . As we drove toward town through the clear mountain breeze. I'll remember the red of the rowan-tree berries. Crowing wild in the muskeg, transplanted in lawn, The vivid rock-gardens, the snow-llower blossoms, Their lingering scent in the soft, quiet dawn. I'll m'.:.s the salt air and the likeable people, I'll miss the soft bree?e and the ra n on my' fare. Oh, yes, there Is rain, there's peat and there's muskeg, And skunk-cabbage too. It's a wonderiul place! There are gales and wind-storms with angry waves dashing The beats as they're moored to the docks and the shore. The weather-man warns, and the radios signal "Run for a cove, or you'll be sailing no more", But it's all in a fisherman's life, it's expected The danger, adventure, success and loss, -And he'll not tiarie with you if you ask his opinion, He likes it out, there and he'll be his own boss. I'll m'ss thc wet smell of gum-boo's and slickers, The vifw from Eleventh, the fog-horns at dawn, All the odd, lunny things that tug at your heart-strings, 'ni; things that'you n;ver think of till you're gone-How well I'll remember the blue of the harbor, Thc blue of the mountains, the blue of the sky, I'll tal c a deep breath and I'd wish I was back there, .
