Some of the millions of , part-

When the fungi are breathed in,

In 1812 Francle died In the siege
of Radajoa, where he was serv-
ing in the 27th Regiment of Foot
in the Peninsula War. Her.9.ther
son, Henry Addington, was event-
ually ordained a priest in the
Church of England.
During the remainder of her
life, Mrs. Simcoe undertook many
charitable and benevolent duties.
She, aided missionary work and,
in 1842, she and her daughters
erected Holy Trinity Church,
which stands upon the site of
- Dunkeswell Abbey. The church
consists of a chancel, nave, west
porch, and a turret housing one
bell. It incorporates some build-
and stripped during the reign
of Henry VIII and thereafter fell
into disrepair..
Mrs. Simcoe died'on January
1'7, 1850 at Wolford and is bur-
ied at Wolford Chapel beside her
husband.
The inscription on the plaque
commemorating , Lieutenant-
Colonel John By, reads:
Born in Lambeth, London,
By graduated from the , Royal'
Military Academy, Woo lwich in
1799. With the Royal Engineers
in Canada (1802-1811) he was
engaged in the reconstruction of
the fortifications at Quebec and
later served in the Peninsular'
War. In 1826 By was again sent
to Canada to superintend con-
struction of an Ottawa River -
Lake Ontario waterway. Its east-
ern terminus was "Bytown",
later named Ottawa. The result-
ing Rideau Canal, an outstanding
enginerring feat designed pri-
marily for military purposes,
was completed in 1832. However,
on his return to England, he
was charged with spending funds
not authorized by the British
parliament. Although entirely
refuted, this accusation ess-
entially ended his military career
and" he retired' to his Sussex
estate, where he died.
John By was born on August
10, 1779, and was baptized in
the parish of St. Mary's, Lam-

three sons, broke with faintly
tradition and entered the Royal
Military Academy, Woolwich. Ile
was commissioned a Second
Lieutenant in the Royal Artillery
in 1799, but by year's end had
transferred to the Royal
Engineers.
Between 1802 and 1811,
Lieutenant (Captain in 1805) By
serve:tin Canada. He was attach-
ed to the Royal Engineers at
Quebec City and worked on the•
fortifications of the city. He •
also gained some experience in
canal Construction.
By was recalled to England
in 1811 and then served with
distinction in the Peninsular war.
From' 1812 until 1821, Captain
By was placed in charge at a
number of gunpowder Mills. He
was promoted to Brevet Major
in 1814. For reasons of ec-
onomy, cuts were made in the
troop strength of the British
Army and By, in 1821, was plac-
ed on the unemployed list. Des-
pite this, he was promoted to
the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel
in 1824.
Since the War of 1812, the
British military authorities had
been considering the construction
of a canal system, which would -
connect Montreal with Lake Ont-
ario, avoiding the Upper St. Law-

interference from the south
:More. Lack of flMclo delayed the
Commencement of the operation
and it was not ,until 1825, foll-
owing a report from Samuel
Clowes that a Kingston-Ottawa
River canal could be built for
less than 150,000 (pounds), that
the order came to pre/cmel with
the Rideau canal system. The
man selected by the British gov-
ernment for the task was Lt.
Col. John By.
By, his second wife, Esther
March, and his two 'small dau-
ghters left England in the spring a 1826. They landed at Quebec
on May 30,' proceeded to Mont-
real where By set up a temp-
orary head quarters, and, in late
September, travelled up the Ott-
awa to the tiny village of Hull,
Lower Canada. On the oppo-
site shore, By chose a bay,
about a half mile below the Ch-
audiere Falls, for entrance to
the Canal. Col. By quickly came
to realize that the waterway could
not be constructed for the 150,000
figure. The Legislature of Upper
Clanada gave Col. By the full
and unusual powers to direct
the surveying and building of the
canal.' In 1827 contracts were
let and a careful survey and
estimate (475,000) completed by
the end of the year. The size
of the locks was increased, and
in 1828, contractors hired by the
Commissariat Department at
Quebec (note by Col. By) began
work on the Rideau.
The work itself was made
ntdrio
extremely OFtteult because it
was carried oat In ininhahited
country; Much of the canal had
to to pass through swamp, and mal-
aria killed hundreds of the Irish
Immigrants Who were employed
as labourers on, the project.
The estimates kept rising
(aver 750,000 by 1830) and trouble
arose in the British parliament,
Charges were made by Henry
Burgess .that By had misappro-
priated flings,. A number of
commissions and committees in-
vestigated these charges -anti
eventually cleared BY, but a cloud
hung over him for the rest of
his career. There is stfong
evidence to suggest that Burgess,
whom By had dismissed for in- •
competence was _carryine out a
personal vendetta. By was used
as a scapegoat by a, Government
which was opposed to large-scale
colonial spending.
However, By was permitted
to complete the canal. From
Kingston to Ottawa the system
measure 123 1/2 miles and in-
cludes forty-seven locks arid 24
dams. The flight of eight locks
adjacent to the Parliament Build
ings in Ottawa and the dam and
locks- at Jones Falls are the
most spectacular and extensive
engineering achievements along
the route. It has been claimed
that in their complexity and the
daring of their design, these
works are unrivalled not only
on the Rideau, but also on any
of the early canals of North
America.

Mrs. John GravesSimcoe was
born Elizabeth PosthumaGwillim
in 1766. Her mother died with-
in 12 hours of her birth, while
her father died at Gibraltar, a
few months prioy -to her birth.
She was born at "Old Court",
Whitchurch, Herefordshire,• her
mother's home. Her mother's
sister, Mrs. Graves, and her hus-
band, Samuel Graves, immed-
iately undertook to look after
the orphaned child. ing material from the ancient
Mrs. Simcoe spent her early abbey. The abbey was closed
years at the Graves' home at
Hembury Fort, Devon. Admiral
Graves was also god-father to
John Graves Simcoe who was
descended from Loral William de
Brewer. In the late 12th cent-
ury Lori' William founded the
Abbey of Dunkeswell. From
both her mother's and father's
family she inherited a consider-
able fortune. When Simcoe re-
Jurned from the American Revol-
utionary War he was a frequent
visitor at Admiral Graves'. He
and Elizabeth became acquainted
and were married in 1782. when
Mrs. Simcoe was 16. ,
Between 1783 and 1787 the
Simcoes lived in Exeter, and
afterward they made their home
in Wolford, Devon, Which Mrs.
Simcoe had purchased in 1784.
In 1791 Simcoe was appointed
Lieutenant - Governor of Upper
Canada and in September he and
Mrs. Simcoe prepared to leave
England for Canada; they arrived
at Quebec City on November 11.
Mrs. Simcoe took her two young-
est children, Sophia and Francis,
•with her to Canada, leaving the
four elder Children,• Eliza,Char-
lotte, Henrietta and Caroline, at
Wolford, in the care of the Hunts.
The years between 1792 and
1796 are fully recorded in Mrs.
Simcoe's diaries. They give a
detailed and personal record of
many ' aspects of 1116,„1n Upper
Canada. She travelled exten-
sively ablaut the lower regions
of the province and knew intim-
ately the Niagara, Queenston,
York and Gananoque areas. In
1794 she and the Governor be-
gan construction of a summer
house on ,e, the edge of the D.en
Valley. This building stood on
200 acres of land which the
Lieutenant-Governor had patent-
ed for his son .Francis. The
Summer house was named
"Castle Frank" in his honour.
Throughout her stay in Upper
Canada, Mrs. Simpoe led a no-
madic and spartanexistence.Her
diaries in general, however, do
not betray dislike or impatience
with the four years. Her draw-
ings of early Upper Canada
scenes ate among the very earl- ,
iest pictorial records available
of York, Niagara and other areas.
In 1796, she accompanied her
husband back to England, and
settled again at Watford.
Simcoe's enduring attempts
to advance his career led him
away from England again in
1806.. He was offered the post
of Governor General of India,
but before taking over his duties,
he Went to Lisbon to negotiate
for the defence of Portugal ag-
ainst Napo/eon. He contracted
fever, however, and returned to
England and died on October
26, 1806, at Exeter, enroute to
Wolford.
Mrs. Simcoe was left a widow
at the age of forty, with four
daughters and two sons.' Her
daughters stayed with her until
her death in J850 at Wolford.
