      I’ve always had a thing for islands. I fished five islands in the North-east, by boat and from shore, for so many years that I consider them home waters. Most of the large stripers I’ve taken have come off four of those islands, which are swept daily

      THE SKELETON ON ROUND ISLAND

      From Mackinac And Lake Stories, 1899

      By Mary Hartwell Catherwood

      On the 15th day of March, 1897, Ignace Pelott died at Mackinac Island, aged ninety-three years.

      The old quarter-breed, son of a half breed Chippewa mother and French father, took with him into silence much wilderness lore of the Northwest. He was full of stories when warmed to recital, though at the beginning of a talk his gentle eyes dwelt on the listener with anxiety, and he tapped his forehead—So many things gone from there! His habit of saying Oh God, yes, or Oh God, no, was not in the least irreverent, but simply his mild way of using island English.

      While water lapped the beach before his door and the sun smote sparkles on the strait, he told about this adventure across the ice, and his hearer has taken but few liberties with the recital.

      I am not afraid for me—long, tall fellow then; eye
