Rev. DIR. Patterson who has made an exhaustive
study of these Indians, excited by the skin
dresses the rich fur robes IN which these poor
creatures wrapped themselves at night. even
in which they laid their dead to rest, and they did
not hesitate to take possession of them this
involved the shooting of the owners. And when
such wrongs led to retaliation the part of the
injured Red Men. it only excited their enemies 70
more determined effort to extermInate them
they would SO many wolves. With only their bows
and arrows the poor natives had little chance in
this warfare against the deadly firearms of the
whites.
The French authorities, who claimed jurisdiction
at that time part OF the island offered
reward for the heads persons of some OF the
Beothukan chiefs with whom they had had a
misunderstanding Some of the Mcrnacs who had
followed the Beothukans to Newfoundland but
who thus far had pretended friendship for the
original settlers, had their cupdity aroused by the
offer and secured the heads of couple of the chiefs
in question Before these were delivered to obtain
the reward. they discovered by accident,
cealed in the canoe that was to convey them and
recognized by some of the Red Indians as those Of
their friends. The latter gave lntInatiOn of the
discovery to the perpetrators of the outrage, but
consulted among themselves and determined upon
having revenge. They invited the Micmacs 70 q
feast and arranged their guests in such order that
every Beothukan had Micmac by his side. At a
preconcerted signal every Beothukan slew his
guest. War of course enSued, and particularly
Sangu1ne battle was fought between the two tribes
the north end of Grand Pond.
White furriers and fishermen continued to shoot
down the BeOthukans, sometimes in wantOnnesS
sometimes in prOfeSsed fear of them sometimes in
the spirit in which they would shoot wolf and
sometimes in the spirit of the sportsman hunting
beaver. Lieutenant Cartwright of the British navy
writing in I76S says: 'On the part of the English
fishers, their conduct is an inhumarity that sinks
them far below the level of savages."
In the neighborhood of Bonavista some traffic
was carried on toward the end of the eighteenth
century between the Red Men and the whites The
latter carried out goods and left them at a spot
within reach of the Indians, who came and took
them leaving frrs instead.
Writers of the period agree that there were white
the island who admitted that they would

nineteenth century the poor BeOthukanS We're shot

were regarded as having
no rights that white men

Now Going On Recall
Searches for the Lost BeOthukan Race
By T.. L. ID. G HI A Nj B T. X =

by woman, Mrs Hub
bard widow of New
York newspaper and magazine writer, Leonidas
Hubbard jr who lost his life in the Labrador witls
two years ago. and the other by Dillon Wallace,
Hubbard'S companion that fOOhardy, badly
planned and Inflated venture Other expeditions,
more secretly planned, of which the world has heard
little nothing also believed to be engaged in
similar undertakings Why? AS we'll ask why
Peary continues to hazard his life searching for the
North Pole, why a Livingston sacrificed himself
in the wilds of Africa
The so-called lure of the Labrador wild is no
nfatuatiOn. 1t is really old America
Its story too, is as interesting as any ever told of
any part of the world The late Adirondack"
Murray planned expedition into the Far
North for the avOwed purpose of discovering
of aboriginal giants wholly unknown to white
men, ru1nors of the existence of whom came from
Indian sources with much semblance of truth
that they We're believed generally by the inhabitants
of many parts of Canada Ethnologists know,
or profess to know, that if any such Indian tribe
is in existence its numbers must be exceedingly
small and its members represent the only survivors
of the famous Beothukans or Red Indians of
Newfoundland from their habit of darken-
ing their skin with red ocher-whose melancholy
fate forms the darkest chapter in the history of
European progress in the western hemisphere.
The last living representative of the BeothukanS
to be seen by white men died in captivity at ST.
Johns, Newfoundland, in 1920, and it is much
mooted point with the historians whether the race
became altogether extinct Immediately after that
period, or whether, as some suppose small remnant
escaped from the island and crossed by the Straits
of Belle Isle to Labrador. At all events the story
of the ruthless determination of the Red Indians
from Britain's oldest Colony is of the saddest
record of mans inhumanity to man. These poor
people treated with the most brutal cruelty
and for long period were regarded vernin to be
hunted down and destroyed. The Red Man
driven to deeds of fierce retaliation and war to the
knife became the rule between the two races.
The BeothukanS a much finer and hand
somer of men than the other North American
Indians, and hence, perhaps, the stories of race
of giants in the interior of Labrador. They were
large in stature and of active build. They had
aquine noses and regular features Their eyes,
which did not possess any marked popularity of
form like those of the Eskimo, black and pier
cling, and their hair and allowed to fall
their faces.
The Beothukans the aboriginal inhabitants
of Newfoundland when it discovered by Cabot
in the closing decade of the fifteenth century Their
affinity with the Malayo-Poynesian is at least
probable. 1t is supposed that their remote ances-
tors must have formed part of a great emigration
from the Indian Archipelago,
consequent upon the Buddhist
