Isle of Or colonies and the Richelieu town voyage
The narrator recounts a Montreal to Victoria pier journey aboard a taxi and boat, admiring Quebec landmarks, the St Lawrence river, and the rustic scenery. En route to the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association meeting at Manior Richelieu, they explore towns from Pointe au Pie to St Simeon, visiting a historic church preserved by Miss Rita Bourgoin where a barefoot organist played for a fading congregation.
