“Woman Faces Bears, Wolves, and Even Charging Moose,” Toronto Star. November 28, 1931. Page 3. ---- ‘Not Afraid of Anything When Armed,’ Mrs. John Brinde Says ---- TELLS ADVENTURES ---- Special to The Star North Bay, November, 26. - Among the modern Dianas, who have been springing into publicity the last few days, Mrs. John Brindle of Temagami is probably one of the most remarkable, with Mrs. Alec Guppy a close second. Both women are keenly interested in hunting and fishing.

Mrs. Brindle, between thirty and forty years of age, was practically raised in the bush. ‘I love the outdoor life,’ she stated simply. ‘I guess it’s in my blood. My mother was an Indian and belonged to the Iroquois tribe.’ But aside from her natural love of the woods, all physical traces of the Indian blood have been lost. Her complexion is fair with cheeks heightened to a healthy glow by the sun and winds of the northern wilderness. The most striking difference, however, is her wealth of wavy red hair, certainly not inherited from her mother.

She is absolutely fearless. Deer and moose hunting are only routine occurrences. To face a wolf or bear is only another experience to be added to her already rich collection. From the time she was a child, Mrs. Brindle’s life has been a mixture of thrills.

‘Mrs. Guppy and I often go hunting,’ she told The Star.

‘And you saw a wolf in the woods the other day?’ ‘Well, we were just walking along. We were going out to get a load of meat from a moose that was killed the other day. Walking along a ridge, we saw a wolf, the biggest  had ever seen.

‘Mrs. Guppy said ‘look at the deer.’ It was so big. I told her ‘that’s no deer.’ Then we saw it was a wolf, so we called our husbands. They were on ahead and we didn’t have our guns. It didn’t try to run away. Our husbands came back and Mr. Guppy took a shot at it but I know he missed. It made a jump and then stopped again. My husband shot and I think he hit it in the shoulder but it got away. Anyway there was blood on the trail when we were coming back.
