Barres to Chief Justice Calcough. then in Halifax. sheds some light on the inconveniences suffered by Islanders owing to the irregularity of the mails and lack of proper transportation.

"Nearly 5 months have passed since a line from England has rea- ched the Island....ln this view chief- ly. the Indians. who. with my public dispatches, carry this. are lured to proceed in an ice-boat to the Nova Scotia shore and thence to Halifax, where they are to deliver the bag of letters to Mr. Charleii Hall. mer- chant. who will put. the letters in a course of being forward to their addresses."

The Indians remained at Kali- fax for about five days to pick up all letters for the Island. p

Going back to the days when Louisburg fell to the British. we learn that Lord Rollo was sent to take over the Island from the French. He found some 4.000 fish- ermen and farmers settled at Port La Joie, along the Dunk, Montague. and Brudeneli rivers. When the British took over. a number of the French settlers found refuge in the woods while others fled to Quebec. New England and France.

When the dove of peace settled over the troubled colony a con- troversy arose as to how the smug little Island was to be carved up. The Earl of Egmont wanted the whole Island for his own use, so did Admiral Knowles, who promis- ed to settle it within ten years.

But the Lords of Trades and Plantations decided that it should be surveyed into counties, parishes and townships. This survey was made by Captain Holland. There were so many petitions for grants

East-West would alia- ply score up the rubber. gaining about 000 points in a routine way. This sort of deal does not have to be routine. however. and it wasn't when it occurred in a top flight bridge club. West. a dough- ty campaigner. did not even cori- elder passing a hand with such distributional features. and the bidding unfolded as follows:

Observe that West did more than open-he followed up with a free bid on the second round. Certain types of experts will raise their brows at this behavior. but let it be noted that their forts in straight evalustlon. not tactics. West's technique paid off.
