He was born in London, England,
July 30, Ito, and at the age of
seven years was placed in the Grey
Coat charity school, where he
remained for seven years, and where
in addition to the usual subjects he
received lessons in navigation. In
May, 1884, he left school, and was
apprenticed to the Hudson Bay
Company for seven years. They sent
him to Fort Churchill, where Sam
uel Hearne, the discoverer and ex-
plorer of the Coppernine River, was
in charge. He remained in the
employ of the Hudson Bay Com
pany until 1897, assisting in the
work of the fur trade at diff
ferent points, and taking astro-
nornical observations, and sur
veys of the country whenever OPP
portunity offered. It would appear
that the officers of the company
thought that he was making the
] fur trade subordinate to surveying
, and gave orders that he was to dis
continue the surveying. This he re-
fused to do and transferred his SER
vices to the North West Company
on May 23rd, 1897. In his journal
under that date appears this entry:
''This day left the service of the
Hudson Bay Company, and entered
that of the Company of the Mer-
chants of Canada. May God pros

reached Astoria sometime early in
July, 1911, but remained only a
