A hundred years ago it sparkled with news and views which made 1t of interest to all who could read. A series of letters in 1861 by barrister John Lawson for the advice of those immigrating to the Island, makes ‘ moot- roodirig from which wo cull a paragraph or two:- "Bodeque Bay is s. noble pieoo of water; s. qilondid romdmm, ‘ of which wllmot cheek and Dunk Riven are tho lurbours, At the bend of Wilmot Creek is Bedequo House built by Alexander Camp- bell, formerly treasurer of the Island. and now owned. and inhabit- ed by Evan Thomas Esq.
