And finally there is the Kakabeka Falls, in Canada second only in height to Niagara. Hiring a taxicab for the morning allows good sightseeing. Our trip back seems to go more quickly. We sail from Fort William Saturday afternoon, again calling at Port Arthur before steaming out of Thunder Bay past the land formation known as "the sleeping giant". At this hour we don lifejackets for lifeboat drill on the sun deck. The crew rehearses preparing a lifeboat, pushing it out beyond the deck's edge and back again. We are in good hands. In afternoon, we skirt the eastern end of Isle Royal before land falls away again for the rest of the day. As we breakfast again Sunday morning, we find ourselves moving toward the Canadian Soo. Locking down presents a startling experience: the horizon rises above our dining room window until only the rough stone of the lock wall can be seen. Before long, we steam out of the lock, and the world reappears again. Downriver, KEEWATIN comes about and up alongside the Government dock, and then pulls herself into a berth that extends toward the shore. In the meanwhile, ASSINIBOIA has appeared around a bend from below, and glides past our bow at close range to tie up at the dock's outer berth. Regretfully, we part with our ship at the Soo, off for a week on the lower St. Marys River. We reach our destination that afternoon in time to see our KEEWATIN pass silently down bound. But it seems a little less "our" ship now, as we stand on the shore and think of the friends we have made who are still aboard, and the rest of the trip to Toronto that we are missing.

Several offers were put forth to save the KEEWATIN and on
