tontlnlued from lost week "
During the time the rains
carne, with thunder and ' light-
ning, Burwei_l„`tells of `making
maps, writing notes, and
making sketches. -Their first
visitors 'were three boat loads
of Chippewa Indians with their
wives and -,children.
On Saturday, June '16, the
much—looked—for. boat bringing
supplies arrived about 6 o'clock
p.m Jean Babtiste• Pero arrived
from Fort Gratiot with a supply
'of provisions for the use 6f the
explorers. The boat was
unloaded but the wind blew in
so violently and brought heavy
rain that it . was a.' few days
before the boat could, return to
the United States.
The daYs were spent "scaling
the shore of the lake down-
wards”; and on Tuesday, June
19, they saw Dr. Dunlop and
his , canoe, with his crew of
Canadians and 'Indians, retur-
ning •from. ,their mission of
having the provision sent. The
men. had a meal on the lake'
shore 'together, and then Dr.
Dunlop rhrltinued on his way
up tq the' mouth of the
`Menestunk and the new log • '4k
cabin. '
Passenger pigeons were flying
over by the 'thousands for many
days, and one cif the .Indians
knocked ;down several, by just
standing and waving a stick -
"while our dinner was making
ready" Burwell mentions.
During their "scaling" ' the
lake shore, a violent storm blew
• across the lake froin the 'north-
west, and he tells of the
tremendous waves lashing the
clay cliffs and fallen cedars. On
his return he was surprised to
see how rn'uch this violent
storm had altered the mouth of
the harbour of the .Menestunk.
-"(Maitland).
— Another boat arrived from.
Fort Gratiot on Monday, June
.2.5, . bringing some remaining
sup:plies, flooring, seed,
potatoes, etc. •
Burwell mentions the con\•
.,rainsains in that .the
of
June and how, annoying it is to
work 'in the constant , rairi-
soaked woods and ravines.
By Wednesday, June 27
{ 1827) the rain had stopped
and Burwell set out with an etc-•
plortng party to '"mark the
line" or Bridle Rdad for their
rete•-rf through the Huron
Tract to Wilmot 'Pownship, lind
finally to Guelph,. He ,tells of
John. Canipbell and John Fish
trying to find the proof line;
and then ' marking the Bridle
Path,_ around the tamarack
swamp.
Becomirttg'"7111, Burwell
arrived back at the log cabin on
the, heights above the
Menestu•nk River on Sunday,,
July 1, 1.827, and found "while
I was absent on this expedition,
Mr. Galtliad arrived in a ;small
.government vessel' ,"The Bee."
'(The Mohawk Chief), had ac-
companied Mr. Gait. They
The Bridle Road 'they
marked was verb•• circuitous.
•The weather tilrned very hot
'•'and, once again they were shoir't
of provisio s•
During the. marking cIt' the
:arrived at the establishment on
midday, the 29th of June about
2 p.m. and remained until this
morning. about 9 o.'clock -a.m.
The vessel was in sight beating
about, when I arrijed and
remained in sight alllday;..Mr.
Galt, while here, named the
place ','Goderich" after the
estate of. Mr. Robinson in
England,whom he says is 'tiow
appointed secretary of the
colonies, (of course one of the
Ministry) and created Lord
Goderich." •
Of this trip, John Galt says
that after leaving York, they
travelled across Lake Simcoe,
through the , bush 'to
Penetanguishine, and then
boarded His Majesty's un -
boat "The, Bee." Galt writes:
"We had a backwards' and for.'
wards sailing and tacking ... We
'sailed towards Cabot's Head,
deviating a little from our
direct route to view the islands
of the Flower Pots, 'lofty rocks
which rise from the • lake,
shaped like such utensils, and
bearing a gigantic bouquet of
trees.
In the afternoon of the
follow ing day, we'saw afar off
by our telescope, a small
clearing in the forest, and on
the brow of a rising ground a
cottage delightfully situated.
The appearance: of such.a sight
in such a place was unexpected,
and we had some debate, if it
could .-be the. location of. Dr.
Dunlop, who had guided . the
land ' exploring party ... 'nor
were .we left• long in doubt, for
on approaching 'the place, we
met a canoe having on board;a•
strange..com.bination of Indian,
velveteens and 'whiskers, and
discovered °within the roots of.
the red hair, the living features
of the Doctor.
`About at.r. hour after hati lig
crossed the river's bar of eight
feet, we came to a beautiful an-
chorage -of fourteen feet water;,
in ani uittomponly pleasant
small .basin.$, The place had
'been selected by the Doctor ...
I erewe landed, and dbeerfully
I t.
By Thursday, July 12, they
reached the log shanty at the
rear of Wilmot Township; and
on July 13, 1.82 7 arrived back
at ,ihe Nith River " `raking two
months this evening since we
entered the woods.'
.Mr. Burwell delivered the
maps of the tract, reports and
field notes to Dr. Wn. "per'
Dunlop, on 'August 1st, 1827.
• The road was called '.'The
Bridle Road" by Mahon ;Bur-
well. •
For the Canada Company'; •
`this Bridle Road was 'the first
road through -the Huron Tract.
