cause I beileve that one should

which one is familiar,
'Dusk was descending rapidly
over Hudson BaY on the August
evening I fastened a life jacket
oecttrelY about my f 'Person ancl
tonic a seat in a huge open boat
With 24 other members of the
ON's allnUal tour to Churchill,
in Northern Manitoba. This
boat, that looked to me like a
den-tasted sail boat with an in-
board Motor,. was in charge of
a huge burly chap Who stood
precariously in the stern guid-
ing our journey with a long
Wooden tiller,
Fresh water flan 1.1 the Chur-
chill river was tumbling in a
rage into IludSon Bay as the
did salt aimed the prow Of the
boat toward Eskimo Point where
Prince of Wales Fort has been
criimbling away for almost two
centuries. The waves were high
and, our lives were in the hen&
of this hilarious individual. His.
MOW was catching and When
we realized he has been shut-
tling tourists hack and forth
betWeen Churchill and the Fort
for many years we forgot what
we had anticipated Davey Jones
Locker might look like if we
were to tip over.
The history of the Fort is of
course closely knit with that of
the Hudslon's Bay Company. On
the shores of Hudson Bay,. this
histOccic penanient rivais in
fury the \better Igiown fortres-
ses of \ QUelVe 4ncl Logsblirg,
,I,4ike these two 'StrOugliPldS,
PriP,Se of Wales raft is part pf
the story the' Steuggle hatWeen
:ElOand and , France fOr the
mastery or, the northern part
of this; continent.
The harbor' was otiOinellY
dischlVered by ^a Danish Sea cap-
tain named Jens lVtuock in 19191
but it' wasn't until 1670; when.
King Charles ,the First of >i"r vg..
land gave t the HudSon's Bay
CoMPanY its •charter, that Posts
were established at, thet pionths
of great rivers' flowing into
liuctson Bay, At lirst Churchill,
which' redeivecl its name -from
the newly appointed goverilor
of the company, John Churchill,
Was just a white whale fishery.
Later Captain James Knight
was conuniSsioned to build t
Wooden fort on the site lyre-
gently occupied by 'the HudSon's
Bay store in Churchill.
Minerals and Disaster
The disasters and conflicts
during the years 1694' to '97 led
directors of the coMpany to
sanction the building of a huge
fort on the Bay. ThiS was plan-
ned to be a refuge for the corn-
Pany's servants and ships from
all trading posts along the
coast. Work on Fort Prince of
Wales was begun in 1733 and
coinicieted, in 1771 under great
difficulties. The parapet con-
tains forty embrasures for guns
Still lying on the walls. Barren
of trees and now covered by
gravel mothering a sporadic
grOwth of spindly weeds and
tall. sea grass, it is a morbid
Sight, yet thrilling, when one
remembers its history.
Probably the most noteworT
thy exploration of the Company
was in 'the year 1769 when Sam-
uel Hearne was sent by the gov-
ernor to investigate copper de-
posits ht the northwest regioa
of Churchill. After three jour-
neys he reached the Ccippermine
River and as' a reward he was
appointed Governor of Prince, of
Wales Fort. His record as a
governor was not a creditable
one for he surrendered to the
French Admiral Le Perouse,
Who attacked the Fort in 1787
with a fleet of 'three ships. Le
Perouse tried to destroy the
Fort and when he found it
practically indestructible sailed
away to capture York Factory
and take Hearne to France as
priwner.
Today it serves no practical
purpose except as a beacon to
mark Churchill harbor and as
a ftzernendously thrilling adven-
ture for tourists. "
