The first trip from Holland Landing to Barrie took a full week, a day or two of which was spent in forcing the narrows at the mouth of Cook s Bay. Pro- c-eding along the south shore, calls were made at Jackson s Point and Beaver-ton. When the craft tried to make Orillia she could not pass the narrows at Lake Gouchiclung. A day was employed replenishing her fuel, but for want of a safe land- ing. the fuel had to be brought off shore in small boats. Continuing her course westwart along the shore, halts were made at the cabin of every settler, as they were nearly all shareholders in the enterprise, and being` of very congenial disposi- tion, were only too eager to cele- brate the advent of steam navigation on Lake Simcoe. `.1 :4 -A.-,. n ,,,_ __|,___,) ___ -I-\I -Saul...---.- v-- .- Amounts $10.00 $25.00 $50.00 $100.00 $48.75 337.5%} 16-31 Cost . . . . .$9.75 $24.38 1-14 . . . . . . . . . . . 9.78 24.44 15-28 . . . . . . . . .. 9.80 24.50 1-15 . . . . . . . . .. 9.83 24.57 16-31 . . . . . . . . .. 9.85 24.63 1-15 . . . . . . . . .. 9.88 24.69 16-30 . . . . . . . . .. 9.90 24.75 48.88 49.00 49.13 49.25 49.38 49.50 97.75 98.00 98.25 98.50 98.75 99.00 Ull L.4ull`\L? >JlJll\.UCa In 1853 Barrie. was placed in communication with the frontier by the construction of the Ontario.
