Charlotte Parish.

no. 3. : | Tre King when appointing Captain Hol-

‘land, endeavored to insure his safety and |the successful performance of his duties, by

including in his commission a general order ‘to all in authority, which reads thus: ‘‘ All ;our governors, lieutenant-governors, com- | manders-in-chief, and other officers and) 'm‘nisters, whatesover, within our said do-| jmiuions are to take notice thereof, and to! jbe aiding, assisting, ‘&c., unto the said Samuel Holland, his deputy, or deputies, in the due execution of the said survey in all things as becometh.”” What Lieut. Mowatt’s motives were in refusing Captain Holland the aid he required we can on)

conjecture, but subsequent events indicate that he had interpreted his instructions from the Admiralty,'in a very narrow and illiberal spirit. Having already experienc- ed the bitter fruits of the want of co-opera- tion between the two branches of the ser- vice, and foreseeing how disastrous its con- tinuation would be, Captain Folland ir- mediately made known his situation to the Earl of Hillsborough, Londop, and sent urgent appeals to Lord Colvill, Com-| mander-in-Chief of His Majesty’s ships in

North America, and also to Governor Wilmot st Halifax, asking for relief in his distress. The Governor had previously instructed Captain Hill at Fort Amherst to furnish Captain Holland “with troops as they may be wanted,” and also ‘‘with every convenience and advantage which the situation of himself or his garrison can possibly admit of.” Lord Colviil, from the ‘‘Romny” in Halifax Harber, in reply, offered every assistance in his power, and also wrote to L. Mowatt, pointing out very clearly to him what his duties were, con- cluding thus: ‘‘Your people were raised to be employed by Captain Holland, and I can see no reason why they should expect to be put on a footing with his other assistants in regard to pay. From this part of your letter, I take occasion to recommend to you in the strongest terms, to.:aaintain perfect harmony with Capt. Holland, to look upon yourself us a joint laborer with him, and to suffer no such distraction as ship’s duty and surveyors duty to exist, bat one and all, with heart and hand, to pursue a cause which is so much the object of His Majesty's attention and care. ‘his excellent advice gave great satisfaction to the Chief Surveyor and had its intended effect upon the Canceau’s commander, for shortly after the letter arrived, the former writes of the latter, ‘‘who upon an‘eclaircessement with me seems now to be better acquainted with the nature of the service he is sent upon,” and on another occasion that “the and the gentlemen under his command gave all the assistance in their power’ and were more- over “‘assiduous in their branch of busi- ness.” Lord Colvill promised to send from Halfax, in the spring, a small schooner and boats for the service, so that Captain Holland could now look forward to a good summer’s work,

In the meantime, however, he had to provide winter quarters for his party. Ona Oct, 28, (1764) he writes, ‘winter is set in,’ and on Nov. 14:—‘'I was in hopes of find- ing a lodging in the Fort, or in some deserted houses near it; but Fort Amherst, as they call it, is only a poor stockaded redoubt, with barracks scarcely sufficient to lodge the garrison,and the houses that were near it were all pulled down to get material to build it.” He arranged that two of the gentlemen were to ‘‘remain on board of the Canceaux for the winter, which is now un- rigged and laid up in a cove, (Cansean Cove no doubt) a mile distant from the Fort, where she is entirely out of danger from the ice doing her the least harm, by driving upon her when it breaks up in the spring.”

For himself and the rest of his party he was obliged to build a house, and accord- ingly chose ‘‘ a spot in the woods near the seashore,” about a mile below the fort, ‘* properly situated for making astronomi- cal observations.” This place, which he named ‘‘ Observation Cove,” is now called ‘** Holland Cove.”’ Here he ‘‘ put up an old frame of a barn,” which he covered with materials brought with him from Que- bec, and “some boards collected from the ruins of some old houses.” He says: “ | have no assistance from the ship (Canceau) I have been obliged to apply to Capt. Hill for some of his men to assist me in survey- ing, and now getfing my winter quarters ready.” Owing to the want of many materials, and the delay caused by con- tinued bad weather, it wasthe 8th Decem- ber before they could move into the house. Heated by stoves brought with them from Quebec, and having plenty of firewood near, it turned out to be more comfortable than was at first expected. The worst con- sequences were that it cost him £60 (nearly

ae letter to the Earl of Hillsborough in November, Capt. Holland gives his impres- sionsof the Island, that if encouraged by His Lordship it ‘‘ will become a very valn- able settlement, as its now the finest and best island in the Gulph of St. Lawrence, and produces very good wheat, oats, barley, &c., and the part I have seen is one of the finest grass countries I have met with, by which great quantity of cattle may be raised’; that he found ‘‘but one gentleman here who has made any improvement, which is Lieut. Burns, of the 45th Regi- ment; he has conveyed his family and ser- vants on the Island, being at a considerable expense in building a house and barn, also stocking a tract of land at and near St. Peter's.”

“This gentleman served with me at the siege of Louisbourg” and was “‘an old acquaintance” of his. He mentions also that ‘‘Mr. Higgins, Agent for Messrs. Geo, Spence & Co., is just arrived here from Three Rivers. He gives me a favorable description of that harbour and its situa- tion for trade; but he thinks that Malpeck is a good harbour and much the best place on the Island to carry on the fishery. This gentleman has been able to do but little for his employers as they were much de- ceived in regard to the salmon fishery. There is nv suvh thing on the Isfend.” The

VOL. 18---NO, 126 letter was to go ‘‘by the brig Nelly, Robert Salmond, master, who belongs to Messrs.

Spence & Co,”

In November Lieuts. Haldimard and Robinson visited St. Peter's, which they describe as one of the ‘‘ most valuable spots on the Island, as well for fishing as for the produce of the land, the land being fora great part clear about it, and is now only settled by a few Acadians mostly fisher- men, which, with those of Fortune Bay, are about 30 families, but in great misery, though they have about one hundred head of cattle among them. This: poor people were left on the Island after the surrender of Louisburg, when the other inhabitants were transported to France, as they lived in a distant place in the woods §but surrender- ed themselves afterwards, and when indul- gent by some of the commanding officers of Fort Amherst to live on their fishery end gardening.” Captain Holland says : “ Some of them have been to me to beg protection, as the present commanding officer lays claim to every thing they have. The Cap- tain (Hill) says they refused the oath of allegiance, but they told me they would do anytbing required, and become good subjects here, or they would be glad to be transported to Canada. I applied to Cap. tain Hill for leaye to buy one or two oxen from them for our use during the winter, as | fear for the scurvy by eating too much salt provisions, but he told me that all the cattle on the Island belonged to him, that the people were prisoners of war, nor would allow them to sell any of the produce of their gardens. The little live stock we have brought with us we were forced to kill for want of feeding and a place to put them in. The frost and snow has been here for this fortmigh: very strong.” (Letter dated 28th Nov. 1764.)

Captain Hill, however, frequently made them (Capt. Holland and party) ‘‘a present of beef, ete. ,” and was always ready to sup ply them when in want. ‘They exchanged also their salt provisions for hares and partridges, killed by the poor Acadiana, which helped to support the party till spring.

Describing the inhabitants of the Island at this time, he says: ‘' The poor wretches who still remain on St. Jobn are as indolent as they are poor, which to a great degree I never experienced the knowledge of. Their habitations are worse [than [ncian wigwams; their provision (as they have mo bread) they substitute dry fish in,its place, this with now and then a little salt meat, which they get in exchange for game of different kinds, is their chief support,aud frequently are in great distress and want even of these. The poverty, however, sometimes obliges them to get the better of their idleness, and force them out upon the chase, in which they are for the most part very capable, making use of great skill in their deception to seduce wild fowls, who though here in great plenty, are very shy and difficult of access. ‘They are also very alert in the chase of bears, wild cats, martins and otters, which are the only beasts on the Island (in his description of the birds, beasts, etc.; afterwards he men- tions ‘‘some but very few caribeux, a kind of deer”); they are also equally assidous, and clever in the taking of seals, &c.”

Nore.—Governor Wilmot states 22ad of March, 1764, (see Murdoch’s History of Nova Scotia) that the Acadians were con- ceived to be prisoners under the authority of General Amherst, who did not issue any order to remove them to Canada. Many of them were collected and sent to Boston in 1762. These were not received but sent back (to Halifax?) without landing. The number on the Isiand of St, John at that time (1764) is stated to be 300. He repre- sents tneir attachment to France and to the Roman faith as an inflexible devotion, and that they hope for revolutions in thei favor, Wilmot thinks their submission to the government would never be sincere, and that their settlement in the Province was inconsistent with its safety. If sent to a neighboring Province they would try to get back, and in Canada they would not be well treated or happy.

LETTERS T6 THE EDITOR,

The Angle Trisected.

Srmr,—I undersiand that the problem of trisecting an angle has engaged the atten- tion of mathematicians for a long time, without any apparent satisfactory solution. lam only a student, and it comes within the range of the possible—nay, the pro- bable, that my humble efforts and fondest hopes may be frustrated.

I send you a condensed analysis of the work, as well as the illustration thereof, Any and every one may inspect the work, and I promise an extended and more de- tailed dissertation in the near future. Take any angle C H F to be trisected. At the angular point, with any distance, des- cribe thetcircle F BO. With F as centre and C for distance, describe arc C H ; tri- sect H F in the following manner : Draw H G, making any angle F HC ; cut off any three portions H K, K L, L M equal to one another. Join M F through the pts. K L, craw parallels to M F (31-I). AI,IJ, and J F are equally to one another (2-V I) and the line is trisected. Through the pta. I, J, describe the arcs 1 D, J E. Join the pts. C, D, Ewith F. We have three iso- sclles triangles which have their contained angles equal and the sides about the equal angles proportionate. They are, therefore, similar. Whatever multiple H F is of J F, the same multiple is C Fof EF. But ares to each other as their chords (deduce. tions from 28 and 29 III). Therefore, whatever multiple C F is of K F, the same multiple is the arc C F of the are E F. Again, angles are to each other as the arcs on which they stand (27-III). Therefore, the angles formed by joining the pts. C D E with H will trisect the angle © A ¥.

In the same way the right angle B H F may be trisected, as illustrated ; and fur- thermore, any other angle, whether obtuse, salient or re-entrant.
