I fy ou can s pe ak French patois andunders tand the word for whisky ins even languages the nat ives thinkyou belong there."The only thrillingexperience waswhen our canoe shot the dangerous 'Rapides d es Ce dre s on the upperLievre River. Few have made thetrip successfully and many canoeshave been smashed."I n ou r c as e we made the f ir stnine feet with marked success. Fo rthe remainder of the quarter-mileof boiling water t he c anoe wen t it
