A Single Match I
It was only a single match, carelessly dropped,
that caused the big fire of 1892, in which
half St. John's was burned. A single match
can still start a similar conflagration if
conditions are favourable.

BONAVENTURE. (See New and Old).
BONAVISTA. Pop. 4,022. One of Newfoundland's four or five oldest
fishing settlements, and from the earliest times to the present her
largest inshore-fishing centre. First settled probably in the early 16th
century. (The oldest Bill of Sale on record in the Registry of Deeds
is of Bonavista origin: Tilley's fishing-room, 1720). The settlement
lies, at its southern extremity, about three miles inside Cape Bonavista
(qv.) and extends practically northward to the Cape, being made
up of numerous coves which, so far as buildings are concerned, overflow
one into the other. Amongst many other things, the settlement
is famous for the fact that it was here, in 1726, that the first school of
which we have any record was established in Newfoundland. Here, in
1705, was fought Captain Michael Gill's famous battle against invading
French ships. The town was several times invaded by the French

GAZETTEER OF NEWFOUNDLAND 61
1696, 1702, 1703, 1704, 1705. One of the sections of the town ha!l a
French name: Canaille; while l\:Iockbeggar, another section, is supposed
by some students to be of French origin. In 1677 it had 18 dwellings,
16 planters, 13 wives, 2 sons, 13 daughters, 96 fishing servants, 28
boats, 8 cattle, 28 sheep, 51 pigs, 13 gardens, and produced 3,040
quintals of fish, the largest production in Newfoundland. It is the
northern tenninous of the Bonavista branch of the Newfoundland railway,
the southern terminous being Clarenville, on the main line, 89 m.
distant. There is a cold storage bait depot. The Church of England
stone church is the finest church edifice outside of St. John's, while
the United (Methodist) is the largest church building possessed by its
denomination outside of the capital. The Loyal Orange Association
Lodge here is said to have the largest membership of any lodge in
North America. Here also is the largest lodge of the Society of United
Fishermen. Lying close to Bonavista are Lancaster (2 m.), Spillars'
Cove (2%), Elliston (5), Little Catalina (10), Catalina (10), Port
Union (12); and, in the opposite direction, Bi.rchy Cove (8), Newman's
Cove and the three Amherst Coves (9 to 12), and Knight"s Cove;
Stock Cove, King's Cove, Broad Cove and Keels (14 to 22 m. distant).
These places, together with Bonavista itself in the centre, have a total
population, the overwhelming majority fishermen, of 8,618 people.
Most of these are the descendants of people who settled in those places
from Bonavista itself as the town began to be overcrowded and the
fishing grounds to shrink. Bonavista is also the original home of the
ancestors of many of the present generation of Salvage, and of many
other places throughout central and northern Bonavista Bay, and of
other places as far north as Doting Cove and Cannanville. Bonavist&
is perhaps Newfoundland's largest salmon-catching centre, and possesses
more salmon-catching gear than any other one place in the
country. A large quantity of partridge (lingan) and blue berries is exported
annually. Govt. cold storage bait freezer. Cottage Hos., Bank

dwellings, 3 planters, 3 wives, 4 sons, 2 daughters, 33 fishery servants,
7 boats, 4 horses, 13 hogs, 2 gardens, and produced 680 quintals of
fish. In the era of the sailing vessel in the seal hunt, Brigus attained
great importance and prosperity, being from 1830 to 1850 second only
to St. John's in the size of its sealing "fleet. Here in 1819 Capt. Wm.
Munden built the first sealing vessel of 100 tons or more, ever used
in the seal hunt--the "Four Brothers," 104 tons. She was still in use
in 1873. Upwards of 3000 seal hunters have sailed out of Brigus to the
icefields in one spring. The settlement is famous as the birthplace of
the great Newfoundland Arctic explorer, Capt. Robert A. Bartlett, affectionately
known throughout the world as "Captain Bob." A native
of Brigus, John Percy, was the first native-born Methodist clergyman
in Newfoundlandj he was ordained in England about 1810. Birthplace

born a son to the wife of Nicholas Gure, one of Guy's colonists-the
first white child of whose birth in Newfoundland there is any record;
though it is quite likely that even before this other white children
were born in Newfoundland-for example at St. John's or anyone of
several other ancient settlements. Nicholas Gure's Rock, on or near
the actual site of Gure's dwelling, is still pointed out. Inscriptions
which existed on it up to recent years are now obliterated. The settlement's
most famous native-son was General Sir Henry Pynn, who

CUPIDS. Pop. 562. An historic settlement. Here in 1610 Alderman
John Guy (afterwards Mayor) of Bristol, England, settled the first
COlmal colony, uSea Forest Plantation,'" in our history. Cuper's
Cove, to use the old name, lies near the head of Port de Grave, then
called Bay de Grave, in Conception B. Guy's charter granted him all
the coast betwepn Cape St. Mary's and Cape Bonavista, though the
public fishing rights were reserved. His party to Newfoundland consisted
of himself, his.brother Philip, his brother-in-law William Colston,
and 39 colonists in three ships. At Cupids he built 3 houses, and
wharves, stores, fish stages and flakes; a fort 94x120 feet enclosed
by a substantial stockade and a battery mounted with 3 guns. At South
River (q.v.) he erected other houses, mills and fann buildings, and
cleared a considerable quantity of land. Guy himself returned to England
at the end of 1611, but returned next spring with more colonists,
fanners and artisans, and livestock, poultry and farming tools.
With him came the Rev. Erasmus Stourton, the first Anglican clergyman
to reside in Newfoundland. Guy went back to Bristol in 1613,
Rnd Colston became Governor, 1613-14, being replaced then by Capt.
John Mason, afterwards founder of the present American State of
New Hampshire. He returned to England in 1621. In 1620 he published
uA Brief Discourse of the Newfoundland," one of our earliest
books. For a while the famous North American Indian, Squantum,
friend of the Pilgrim Fathers in America, lived here. The Colony
disappeared in 1628, though many of the colonists remained and have
descendants here to this day. In 1910 the Guy Tercentennial celebrations
were held here and at the places where branch colonies had
existed. A monument and flag staff were erected to Guy's memory,
and the Newfoundlanders at Toronto presented Cupids with what is
reputedly the second-largest Union Jack in the world. It measures

Newfoundland, there were 3 dwellings. The first highway in New·
foundland was built in 1825 from St. John's to here, Portugal Cove becoming
then increasingly the connecting link between the capital and
most Conception B. settlements, the mail-packet making Portugal
Cove its terminus. Stationed here as Anglican clergyman in the
1840's was the Hon. and Rev. William Grey, father of the 9th Earl of
Stamford, who was born' in St. John's. Here also lived Tryphena
(Fanny) Goff, daughter of a romantic couple whose story is one of
the leading romances of Newfoundland. The Churchill family here is
descended from the first Duke of Marlborough's relatives. Portugal
Cove is the mainland terminus for the Bell Island ferry steamer.
The fishery has declined greatly in late years, though the salmon
fishery is still fairly vigorously prosecuted each spring. Farming,

QUIDl VIDl. Pop. 599. A very ancient and picturesque fishing settlement
a mile or so outside the eastern limit of St. John's. First settled
probably in the early 16th century. Here in the 1650's and later
lived the Newfoundland patriot John Downing, the planter who in
1675 went as the people's delegate to England to prOcure the rescinding
of the Royal Proclamation ordering all settlers to remove from
the country. A battle was fought near here in 1762, when the British
troops landed at Torbay and marched overland to recapture St. John's
from the French. The French had held the capital for several weeks
that summer, and in anticipation of a probable attempt by the British
to land their forces at Quidi Vidi Gut (or entrance from the sea)
the French barred it by sinking rock-filled shallop boats in it.

ST. JOHN'S. Pop. 39,886. Capital of Newfoundland. Discovered June
24, 1497, and named after St. John the Divine. Undoubtedly one of
the oldest cities, if not the oldest, continuously inhabited by the white
race in the Western Hemisphere. Settlement probably began within
ten years after 1500. It was a well-established settlement when Sir
Humphrey Gilbert came and took formal possession of Newfoundland
for the Crown, 1583. First fortified in 1618. Many times attacked by
the Dutch, and later frequently attacked and twice captured by the
.French (1696-97, 1762). For the first 100 years of its history the port
was the favorite rendezvous for fishing vessels, traders and adventurers
from most of the countries of Europe, and most of the famous
men of the 16th and 17th centurips-Gaspar de Corte Real, de Roberval,
Sir Humphrey Gilbert, Sir Bernard Drake, D'Iberville, D'Hau980nville,
etc., etc.,-visited here. The port was for several months each
summer the home of the great Lord Rodney, Lord Byron, Sir Thomas
Graves, Sir Hugh Pallisser, Lord Gambier, Sir John Thomas Duckworth,
and other men famous in British Naval history, as Governors
of Newfoundland. In the 19th century the town was half a dozen
times practically destroyed by fire, in 1892 being all but wiped out. It
was from here that Alcock and Brown made the first non-stop Transatlantic
flight, and Lindbergh flew over the city on his epochal solo
flight, New York to Paris. It was on Signal Hill that Marconi received
the first Transatlantic wireless message. The first Transatlantic
radio telephone conversation was carried on from here. St. John's
is the political, educational, commercial and social capital of the coun-

The mean Bolar year is equal to 365 days, 5 hrs., 48 min., 46 sec., or
nearly 36514 days.
Every year whose number is divisable by 4 is a leap-year, unless
the number ends in two ciphers, in which case the number must be
divisible by 400. Thus, 2000 and 2400 will be leap years, but 1900 was
not a leap year.

224 HAND BOOK OF NEWFOUNDLAND
Gross tonnage is the sum in cubic feet of all the various enclosed
spaces of a vessel, divided by 100.
Net tonnage is the gross tonnage less certain deductions on account
of crew spaces, engine room, water ballast, and other spaces not used
for passengers or cargo.
Dead-weight tonnage. or carrying capacity is the number of tons
(of 2,240 lbs.) of cargo that a vessel is capable of carrying when charged
to the load water line (q.v.),
Displacement tonnage is the number of tons of sea water displaced by
a vessel when charged to the load water line (q.v.), i.e. it is the weight
of vessel and contents in tons.
Load water line is the line that would be made round the shell of a
vessel when loaded as deep as the minimum freeboard regulations permit.
Draught is the distance in feet from the lowest part of the bottom of
a vessel to the actual water line at which the vessel is floating. Thus
the load-water line marks the greatest, or loaded, draught of a vessel. A
vessel without any cargo in her hold or passengers or their luggage
aboard is said to be "light ship," or "light," or "in ballast."
Free board is the distance from the main or upper deck to the loadwater
line of a ve.sseI. As a general rule the minimum free board provides

Bells and Watches on Board Ship
Bells.-Time is kept by means of a bell, which is struck every half
hour. Anyone who, in an effort to tenninate his watch prematurely,
&trikes the bell early, is accused of "warming the bell"-an expression
which has grown to include the doing of anything before the appointed
time.
Watches.-For purposes of discipline, and to divide the work fairly,
the crew is mustered in two divisions: the Starboard (right side, looking
forward) and the Port (left). The day commences at noon, and is thus
divided:-
Watch. Bells (in 'h hr•.
Afternoon --!1oon to 4 p.m, 1 to 8.
First Dog -, p.m. to 6 p.m., I, 2, 3, 4.
Last or Second Dog 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., I, 2, 3, 8.
First 8 p.m. to midnight, 1 to 8.
Middle midnight to 4 a.m., 1 to 8.
Morning 4 a.m. to 8 a.m., 1 to 8.
Forenoon --8 a.m. to noon, 1 to 8.
This makes seven watches, enabling the crew to keep them alternately,
as the Watch which is on duty in the forenoon one day has the afternoon
next day, and the men who have only four hours' rest one night
have eight hours the next. This is the reason for having Dog Watches,
which are made by dividing the hours between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. into
l wo Watches.

HAND BOOK OF NEWFOUNDLAND 229
The len.e;th of one degree of longitude along the equator is 69.2
miles. Each degree of longitude represents four minutes of time. The
lines of longitude are tenned meridians.
According to Keith Johnston, a degree of latitude measures 68.7
miles at the equator and increases to 69.4 in the vicinity of the poles.
The weight of the earth has been estimated at six sextillion, 592
quintillion tons, not including the atmosphere whose weight has been
estimated at more than five quadrillion short tons.
The diameter of the earth at the equator is 7,926,677 miles, and
tnrough the poles, 7,899,988 miles.
The difference between these two diameters is 26,689 miles, and the
ratio for the earth's flattening at the poles is thus 1 part of 297.
The average elevation of the land above sea level is approximately
2,800 feet.
The average depth of the ocean below sea level is 12,450 feet.
The deepest place in the ocean yet found is off the Island of Mindanao,
in the Philipines Group, where a sounding of 35,400 feet has been
reporled.
The highest mountain is Mount Everest, in the Himalayas, 29,002
feet.
This gives a range of about 64,400 feet or nearly 12%, miles between
the bottom of the oceans and the top of the land.
The greatest depth in the Atlantic Ocean is near Puerto Rico, 27,­
972 feet; in the Indian Ocean, 22,968; in the Arctic, 17,850; in the Malay,
972 feet; in the Inian Ocean, 22,968; in the Arctic, 17,850; in the Malay,
21,342; in the Carribbean, 20,568; in the Mediterranean, 14,450; in the
Hering, 13,422; in the South Pacific (UAldrich Deep") 30,930; in the
South Atlantic a sounding of 26,575; and in the Antarctic ocean a sounding
of 14,274 feet.
In 1931-2 a Princeton University expedition found a depth of 4,000
fathoms (24,000 feet), east of the Bartlett Deep in the West Indies, in
the oceanic trough east of Grand Cayman Island.
The U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey has found in the Atlantic Ocean
northeast of Nantucket Shoals, several deep gorges in the southern part
of Geoges Bank. Corsair Gorge, near the eastern tip of the Bank
was discovered in 1930, the others in 1931 and 1932. The largest gorge
is over 20 miles long and 3 miles wide. At the lower end, where it opens
upon the ocean floor, it is 2,000 feet deep, and 20 to 30 miles farther out,
thf' water is 6,000 feet deep.
The British Admiralty reports that Thompson and Lindsay Islands
have vanished from the South Atlantic. They had been on the charts
since 1825.
In 1933 the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey discovered a distinct
submarine mountain rising 7,500 feet from the Pacific Ocean floor of
12,000 feet, 52 miles southwestward of Point Sur, California.

230 HAND BOOK OF NEWFOUNDLAND
The Survey also has found and charted the submerged mouth of
the Hudson River. The gorge, or submerged channel, extends along the
floor of the Atlantic Ocean, out to the true edge of continental North
America, about 100 miles south and east of Ambrose Lightship, off
Sandy Hook.
At the outer portion, toward the submerged mouth, the channel or
ravine descends 1,330 feet in scarcely more than a mile, and is 1,600 feet
below the surface of the water, while the ocean bed beside it is only 260
feet deep.
Other interesting valleys were found by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic
Survey in 1935 on the edge of the coastal shelf between Chesapeake
Hay and Cape Cod. One of these beginning off Cheasapeake Bay (postulated
by some geologists to he the ancient valley of the Potomac River),
can be traced 126 miles eastward from the entrance of the Potomac
River), where in depths of 1,500 fathoms (9,000 feet), it still continues
eastward.
Numerous submerged valleys have been charted by the Coast and
Geodetic Survey off the coast of California where these features aften
are found close inshore and are of such magnitude as to rival scenic
canyons fOWlO on land.

III that year the Company exported 1,661,086 tons of ore. That
would mean approximately $1.66 per ton of expenditure within Newfoundland.
Up to the end of 1939 the Company had exporled a total of
36,044,923 tons of ore. Perhaps $1.50 could be taken as a fairly accurate
average per ton as the expenditure within Newfoundland. This
would give a total of such expenditure, 1895-1939 inclusive, of about
$54,000,000. This estimate is probably below the actual amount so
expended.
