Some years after the treaty 81 1851
Canadian officials discovered that
there are two Prince u Wales ISL

one meant IN the treaty.
The Canadians claimed that the
larger Island "a the westward. whose
southern point almost comes doWn to
latitude $50. wan tho one meant.
To reconcile this with the language
n the treaty they claim that the line
pa nses narthwar4. not through Port
land channel AZ All but through
Clarence strait. Boehm channel and
burroughs bay.
The line would cut OF many ISL

from the mainland coast. but from
