Under the provisions of the Treaty of Utrecht, -which brought peace be- tween France and England in 1713. the Island' of Gape Breton, together with other'islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, was ceded to France. A settlement was established on the shores of what was known ne English Harbour, and the new settlers, being French, changed this name to Louis- bourg, in•honour of Louis the Four- teenth, King of France. The island of Cape•Breton' was re -named Ile Royale. Louisbourg was subsequent- ly ` fantified as a naval and military station, at an estimated .cost of about siy' million dollars, and; • styled the "Dunkirk'of America", was considered impregnable. During the period between 1720 and 1760, in avhich it existed as a fortified naval. and military station, Louisbourg held the key to Canada. Possessing a .fine harbour, it served as the head- quarters for the largest fishing in- dustry on this side of the Atlantic and as a haven for French privateers. Captured by a force of New England volunteers in 1745, Louisbourg was ceded back to France by treaty three years later. Its final capture in 1758 by British forces led to the fall of Quebec the following year and the ultimate transfer of Canada from French to British rule. of roadsters belonging to Mr. Peter Cook of Goderieh township on Tues- day when one of them reared and struck him on. the top of the head inflicting a severe scalp wound.
