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

BONAVISTA. Pop. 4,022. One of Newfoundland's four or five oldest<br />
fishing settlements, and from the earliest times to the present her<br />
largest inshore-fishing centre. First settled probably in the early 16th<br />
century. (The oldest Bill of Sale on record in the Registry of Deeds<br />
is of Bonavista origin: Tilley's fishing-room, 1720). The settlement<br />
lies, at its southern extremity, about three miles inside Cape Bonavista<br />
(qv.) and extends practically northward to the Cape, being made<br />
up of numerous coves which, so far as buildings are concerned, overflow<br />
one into the other. Amongst many other things, the settlement<br />
is famous for the fact that it was here, in 1726, that the first school of<br />
which we have any record was established in Newfoundland. Here, in<br />
1705, was fought Captain Michael Gill's famous battle against invading<br />
French ships. The town was several times invaded by the French
GAZETTEER OF NEWFOUNDLAND 61<br />
1696, 1702, 1703, 1704, 1705. One of the sections of the town ha!l a<br />
French name: Canaille; while l\:Iockbeggar, another section, is supposed<br />
by some students to be of French origin. In 1677 it had 18 dwellings,<br />
16 planters, 13 wives, 2 sons, 13 daughters, 96 fishing servants, 28<br />
boats, 8 cattle, 28 sheep, 51 pigs, 13 gardens, and produced 3,040<br />
quintals of fish, the largest production in Newfoundland. It is the<br />
northern tenninous of the Bonavista branch of the Newfoundland railway,<br />
the southern terminous being Clarenville, on the main line, 89 m.<br />
distant. There is a cold storage bait depot. The Church of England<br />
stone church is the finest church edifice outside of St. John's, while<br />
the United (Methodist) is the largest church building possessed by its<br />
denomination outside of the capital. The Loyal Orange Association<br />
Lodge here is said to have the largest membership of any lodge in<br />
North America. Here also is the largest lodge of the Society of United<br />
Fishermen. Lying close to Bonavista are Lancaster (2 m.), Spillars'<br />
Cove (2%), Elliston (5), Little Catalina (10), Catalina (10), Port<br />
Union (12); and, in the opposite direction, Bi.rchy Cove (8), Newman's<br />
Cove and the three Amherst Coves (9 to 12), and Knight"s Cove;<br />
Stock Cove, King's Cove, Broad Cove and Keels (14 to 22 m. distant).<br />
These places, together with Bonavista itself in the centre, have a total<br />
population, the overwhelming majority fishermen, of 8,618 people.<br />
Most of these are the descendants of people who settled in those places<br />
from Bonavista itself as the town began to be overcrowded and the<br />
fishing grounds to shrink. Bonavista is also the original home of the<br />
ancestors of many of the present generation of Salvage, and of many<br />
other places throughout central and northern Bonavista Bay, and of<br />
other places as far north as Doting Cove and Cannanville. Bonavist&<br />
is perhaps Newfoundland's largest salmon-catching centre, and possesses<br />
more salmon-catching gear than any other one place in the<br />
country. A large quantity of partridge (lingan) and blue berries is exported<br />
annually. Govt. cold storage bait freezer. Cottage Hos., Bank<br />

from Grand Falls to here, via Bishop's Falls. The three towns are also<br />
connected by highway, over which, except in winter, considerable motor-bus,<br />
truck and taxi traffic passes. All the land on both sides of this<br />
road has in late years been taken up by residents of Grand Falls for<br />
fanning-gardening purposes. Botwood was fonnerly a lumbering centre<br />
and was known as Botwoodville, being named after the late Dean<br />
Botwood. Here in 1910, the Fishermen's Protective Union Trading Co.<br />

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

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

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

PORTUGAL COVE. Pop. 816. An ancient fishing settlement on the<br />
south side of Conception B. Discovered in 1501 by the great Portuguese<br />
navigator Gaspar de Corte Real, and named by him in honor of<br />
his country. In 1696, when the French under D'Iberville invaded<br />
Newfoundland, there were 3 dwellings. The first highway in New·<br />
foundland was built in 1825 from St. John's to here, Portugal Cove becoming<br />
then increasingly the connecting link between the capital and<br />
most Conception B. settlements, the mail-packet making Portugal<br />
Cove its terminus. Stationed here as Anglican clergyman in the<br />
1840's was the Hon. and Rev. William Grey, father of the 9th Earl of<br />
Stamford, who was born' in St. John's. Here also lived Tryphena<br />
(Fanny) Goff, daughter of a romantic couple whose story is one of<br />
the leading romances of Newfoundland. The Churchill family here is<br />
descended from the first Duke of Marlborough's relatives. Portugal<br />
Cove is the mainland terminus for the Bell Island ferry steamer.<br />
The fishery has declined greatly in late years, though the salmon<br />
fishery is still fairly vigorously prosecuted each spring. Farming,

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

ST. JOHN'S. Pop. 39,886. Capital of Newfoundland. Discovered June<br />

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

Gross tonnage is the sum in cubic feet of all the various enclosed<br />
spaces of a vessel, divided by 100.<br />
Net tonnage is the gross tonnage less certain deductions on account<br />
of crew spaces, engine room, water ballast, and other spaces not used<br />
for passengers or cargo.<br />
Dead-weight tonnage. or carrying capacity is the number of tons<br />
(of 2,240 lbs.) of cargo that a vessel is capable of carrying when charged<br />
to the load water line (q.v.),<br />
Displacement tonnage is the number of tons of sea water displaced by<br />
a vessel when charged to the load water line (q.v.), i.e. it is the weight<br />
of vessel and contents in tons.<br />
Load water line is the line that would be made round the shell of a<br />
vessel when loaded as deep as the minimum freeboard regulations permit.<br />
Draught is the distance in feet from the lowest part of the bottom of<br />
a vessel to the actual water line at which the vessel is floating. Thus<br />
the load-water line marks the greatest, or loaded, draught of a vessel. A<br />
vessel without any cargo in her hold or passengers or their luggage<br />
aboard is said to be "light ship," or "light," or "in ballast."<br />
Free board is the distance from the main or upper deck to the loadwater<br />
line of a ve.sseI. As a general rule the minimum free board provides<br />
an amount of reserve buoyancy that will keep a vessel afloat with<br />
two compartments holed.<br />
Bells and Watches on Board Ship<br />
Bells.-Time is kept by means of a bell, which is struck every half<br />
hour. Anyone who, in an effort to tenninate his watch prematurely,<br />
&trikes the bell early, is accused of "warming the bell"-an expression<br />
which has grown to include the doing of anything before the appointed<br />
time.<br />
Watches.-For purposes of discipline, and to divide the work fairly,<br />
the crew is mustered in two divisions: the Starboard (right side, looking<br />
forward) and the Port (left). The day commences at noon, and is thus<br />
divided:-<br />
Watch. Bells (in 'h hr•.<br />
Afternoon --!1oon to 4 p.m, 1 to 8.<br />
First Dog -, p.m. to 6 p.m., I, 2, 3, 4.<br />
Last or Second Dog 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., I, 2, 3, 8.<br />
First 8 p.m. to midnight, 1 to 8.<br />
Middle midnight to 4 a.m., 1 to 8.<br />
Morning 4 a.m. to 8 a.m., 1 to 8.<br />
Forenoon --8 a.m. to noon, 1 to 8.<br />
This makes seven watches, enabling the crew to keep them alternately,<br />
as the Watch which is on duty in the forenoon one day has the afternoon<br />
next day, and the men who have only four hours' rest one night<br />
have eight hours the next. This is the reason for having Dog Watches,<br />
which are made by dividing the hours between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. into<br />
l wo Watches.

The len.e;th of one degree of longitude along the equator is 69.2<br />
miles. Each degree of longitude represents four minutes of time. The<br />
lines of longitude are tenned meridians.<br />
According to Keith Johnston, a degree of latitude measures 68.7<br />
miles at the equator and increases to 69.4 in the vicinity of the poles.<br />
The weight of the earth has been estimated at six sextillion, 592<br />
quintillion tons, not including the atmosphere whose weight has been<br />
estimated at more than five quadrillion short tons.<br />
The diameter of the earth at the equator is 7,926,677 miles, and<br />
tnrough the poles, 7,899,988 miles.<br />
The difference between these two diameters is 26,689 miles, and the<br />
ratio for the earth's flattening at the poles is thus 1 part of 297.<br />
The average elevation of the land above sea level is approximately<br />
2,800 feet.<br />
The average depth of the ocean below sea level is 12,450 feet.<br />
The deepest place in the ocean yet found is off the Island of Mindanao,<br />
in the Philipines Group, where a sounding of 35,400 feet has been<br />
reporled.<br />
The highest mountain is Mount Everest, in the Himalayas, 29,002<br />
feet.<br />
This gives a range of about 64,400 feet or nearly 12%, miles between<br />
the bottom of the oceans and the top of the land.<br />
The greatest depth in the Atlantic Ocean is near Puerto Rico, 27,<br />
972 feet; in the Indian Ocean, 22,968; in the Arctic, 17,850; in the Malay,<br />
972 feet; in the Inian Ocean, 22,968; in the Arctic, 17,850; in the Malay,<br />
21,342; in the Carribbean, 20,568; in the Mediterranean, 14,450; in the<br />
Hering, 13,422; in the South Pacific (UAldrich Deep") 30,930; in the<br />
South Atlantic a sounding of 26,575; and in the Antarctic ocean a sounding<br />
of 14,274 feet.<br />
In 1931-2 a Princeton University expedition found a depth of 4,000<br />
fathoms (24,000 feet), east of the Bartlett Deep in the West Indies, in<br />
the oceanic trough east of Grand Cayman Island.<br />
The U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey has found in the Atlantic Ocean<br />
northeast of Nantucket Shoals, several deep gorges in the southern part<br />
of Geoges Bank. Corsair Gorge, near the eastern tip of the Bank<br />
was discovered in 1930, the others in 1931 and 1932. The largest gorge<br />
is over 20 miles long and 3 miles wide. At the lower end, where it opens<br />
upon the ocean floor, it is 2,000 feet deep, and 20 to 30 miles farther out,<br />
thf' water is 6,000 feet deep.<br />
The British Admiralty reports that Thompson and Lindsay Islands<br />
have vanished from the South Atlantic. They had been on the charts<br />
since 1825.<br />
In 1933 the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey discovered a distinct<br />
submarine mountain rising 7,500 feet from the Pacific Ocean floor of<br />
12,000 feet, 52 miles southwestward of Point Sur, California.
230 HAND BOOK OF NEWFOUNDLAND<br />
The Survey also has found and charted the submerged mouth of<br />
the Hudson River. The gorge, or submerged channel, extends along the<br />
floor of the Atlantic Ocean, out to the true edge of continental North<br />
America, about 100 miles south and east of Ambrose Lightship, off<br />
Sandy Hook.<br />
At the outer portion, toward the submerged mouth, the channel or<br />
ravine descends 1,330 feet in scarcely more than a mile, and is 1,600 feet<br />
below the surface of the water, while the ocean bed beside it is only 260<br />
feet deep.<br />
Other interesting valleys were found by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic<br />
Survey in 1935 on the edge of the coastal shelf between Chesapeake<br />
Hay and Cape Cod. One of these beginning off Cheasapeake Bay (postulated<br />
by some geologists to he the ancient valley of the Potomac River),<br />
can be traced 126 miles eastward from the entrance of the Potomac<br />
River), where in depths of 1,500 fathoms (9,000 feet), it still continues<br />
eastward.<br />
Numerous submerged valleys have been charted by the Coast and<br />
Geodetic Survey off the coast of California where these features aften<br />
are found close inshore and are of such magnitude as to rival scenic<br />
canyons fOWlO on land.<br />

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